Potty training - my beautiful sofa stinks of pee

[WhatshouldIdo155]

Pre children I bought a beautiful, clever velvet Loaf sofa.

I’ve recently potty trained my LO, and after a couple of accidents on the sofa, it absolutely stinks. I’ve tried - baking soda, John Lewis fabric cleaner, Fabreze spray. Nothing has worked, and it’s making me feel sick.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Bump!

I don’t know but I’ve covered mine with towels and then a throw over the top

I’ve found Loaf customer service to be pretty decent. I’d call them and ask them what they suggest; they might be able to send a cleaning firm to give it the once over? Might cost you a few hundred quid, but will be a lot cheaper than a new sofa.

I feel your pain, same situation here. I don’t think ours smells too bad now but maybe I’m deluded. I used baking soda same as you and left it on as long as possible. could you get it professionally cleaned maybe? Now if toddler is sitting on the sofa for a while watching tv I put a puppy pad down and put a blanket over the top. She doesn’t really question it.

You'd want to patch test it somewhere unseen first, but have you tried the enzyme spray for removing cats wee?
We had a bottle in the house anyway and it removed pee smells from our rug when we were in the newborn phase.

Get some pet spray.

Dog pee cleaner, scrub and dry, scrub and dry and then do the baking soda. Keep repeating until the smell goes away.

We had our clever velvet sofa steam cleaned after potty training. Faffing around with baking soda will only get you so far.

Yeah I would just get it professionally cleaned

It'll have penetrated deeper than you can clean with a spot cleaner. I would just get a prof carpet and upholstery cleaner to do it.

Just get one if these:

We use this - don’t think it would work if it’s soaked in but it’s amazing for the fabric https://www.zooplus.co.uk/shop/cats/cat_litter/odour_management/sprays_odour_management/750287?variantid=750287.0&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAAD9Xn6V4PtEKdruHvg_plU8zBQDNv&gclid=Cj0KCQiAyKurBhD5ARIsALamXaFy4kpfRcXAlT_Xn_MlOmw7UfCYQXwxT07kMZ5CIqgJnvGv5I8yiJAaAkiJEALw_wcB
(our sofa is polyester velvet and very scrubbable)

Thanks everyone - really appreciate the advice. I’ve had the sofa professionally cleaned in the past but they would only dry clean it because of the material, which didn’t do very much. Will try a different company which will hopefully agree to steam clean it!
