How can I get dog odors out of my leather couch?

Question

I have used leather cleaner and Nature's Miracle. It's not pee I'm talking about, it's dog BO and scent gland odor.

Tough call between 2 and 3. I am trying the vinegar, no success yet. When I checked the website, I found that it was UK. But it gave me some ideas. I don't know yet which to choose.

Answer 1

The oils from your dog will have penetrated the leather and it may be these that are causing the smell. Unfortunately once oils have penetrated the leather they will not come out without degreasing which is a technical job.

You can try cleaning with a much better leather cleaner like LTT and see if that cleans the oils off the surface which may help otherwise you will have to call in a technician.

Answer 2

Try white vinegar, provided your couch is in genuine leather and in bright colour. If not, try a mixture of white vinegar and water with some drops of dish wash detergent. Apply on the whole surface and let dry. Theoretically, the scent of the vinegar will cover any other scent and when it is gone (in 2-3 days time) there will be no scent at all. You can apply it twice for better results.

Good luck!

Answer 3
