Hi
You will need to do a test on the fabric to see if you can clean it. Be careful with what product you uses. I would use “Nature's Miracle” this is a liquid containing enzymes that feed on the organisms that give urine its odours. You can buy it at Petsmart.
First you will need to do is a test. To do the test spray the cleaner, using the back edge of the cushion spray a spot about the size of a quarter and wipe it with a white towel and let it dry on it’s own.
If you get colour transfer onto the towel it is not safe to clean.
If there is no change in colour and no watermark then it is safe to clean or spot clean.
If there is a watermark but no colour change it is safe to clean only thing is you will need to clean the whole thing. (to stop watermarks) you can not spot clean.
If you decide to clean it DO NOT do a lot of scrubbing on the fabric because you can cause damage to the fabric.
If you decide to spot clean only you can use a hair dryer to speed up the drying (less chance of leaving a watermark).
If you clean the whole sofa you are probably best to set up a fan to help dry the sofa.
Hope this helps

Where I live Febreeze is not available (I live outside the US). What I would do for a urine stain is sprinkle a little vinegar on the stain, and then put it in the sun for several hours. Once the vinegar is dried, I would spray some diluted fabric softener over the area and put it back in the sun until it dries. HTH

Here's what you do, and believe me it'll get it out. Buy yourself a Bissell spot cleaner, or a Little Green Clean machine. Fill it with the pet odor cleaner, and add a touch of strong smelling laundry detergent. Just a touch, mind you. Then proceed to clean it, and the spot cleaner should suck all the dirty, smelly water out of the furniture, then when you're finished, while it's still wet, spray Febreze all over the spots and let it dry.

You will laugh at this answer but it works....Massingill douch...
(any kind) just put it in a spray bottle and spray the area until damp, after it dries the smell will be gone( there may still be a stain but no smell) this works wonders on pet odors and is the best thing I have found to remove skunk smell from the dog, hunting cloths, smoke smell from couch etc.

Take it out and burn it. Then buy a new one. The smell will never leave.....Be sure to put a plastic mattress cover on the new one to avoid that problem next time.

You can always try Febreeze or Urine Gone (a spray used to get rid of cat spray & urine.) Hope one of these will work for you.

Go to your pet shop and ask for
Natures own. This will do the job.
I had a chihuahua that had a kidney
and liver problem and would pee where
ever he wanted. Not that I would let him
it just happened and this is what I would
use.
If you don't see it ask the sales clerk, I am
sure he will be able to recommend something.
