What You'll Need:

Paper towels
White vinegar
Dish soap
Scrub brush
Mixing bowl
Bucket

Step One: Blot the Stain

The first step is to blot up as much of urine off of the canvas as possible. Start by folding a few layers of paper towels together and placing them on the stain. Then, using a pressing motion, slowly press down on area until you have saturated the towels. Discard the towels.

Step Two: Soak Stain

Fill a mixing bowl with 1 cup of white vinegar and 2 cups of water. Dip a scrub brush into the solution and spread it over the stained area. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes before continuing on.

Step Three: Scrub the Stain

Once the solution has sat for 10 minutes, take the scrub brush and scrub the area in a circular motion. This will help to lift the stain off of the canvas. If you find the stain isn't coming off quickly, you may need to soak area a bit longer.

Step Four: Rinse the Canvas

After scrubbing the area, you'll want to rinse off any leftover residue. Fill a bucket with warm water and a teaspoon of dish soap. Dip the scrub brush into the solution and use it to rinse off the canvas. Once you are finished rinsing, blot up any excess moisture.

Step Five: Allow the Canvas to Air Dry

Once you have rinsed off the canvas and blotted up the excess moisture, allow it to air dry. You may need to repeat these steps if stain doesn't come out completely first time.
