Removing pee smell from sofa??

I'm currently potty training my toddler and he's had a couple of accidents on the sofa. Being in 3rd tri and lazy exhausted and alone at the moment I spot cleaned the areas thinking it would be ok, but I'm pretty sure I'm getting the odd whiff of pee, especially when I came in from the school run this morning.

It's a jumbo cord sofa with removable seat covers and wipe clean leather arms. I've currently got one lot of the covers going through the machine on 40 (daren't go hotter) with bio powder and a cup of vinegar and the other covers waiting (He's a piss monster, I'm now not convinced the odd damp patch found was indeed juice! Plus I try and wash together to keep the colour fade even)

So, if I remove the seat cushions and vacuum and wipe the base what would be best to treat the cushions themselves? They're foam blocks with a padded bit attached. I've loaned my steam cleaner out quite typically. I was thinking vinegar spray then a good airing outside or copious amounts of febreeze? Does anyone have any other ideas? Can pick something up when I go out to do the school run again

Try Simple Solution or Mr Muscle enzyme pet odour/stain remover. Sold at Pets at Home. They work on pet wee on carpets and soft furnishings. The enzymes are the same as the ones in bio washing powder.

Bicarbonate of soda is good for whiffs. Shake liberally over affected area and leave overnight, then vac off in the morning. The powder absorbs the whiff.
