What You Will Need
- Hydrogen peroxide
- Baking soda
- Dish soap
- White vinegar
- A soft-bristled brush or sponge
Steps to Follow:
- Soak any excess urine from fabric using a cloth or paper towels.
- Mix 1/4 cup of hydrogen peroxide, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1 teaspoon of dish soap in a bowl.
- Stir the mixture until foamy and then use a soft-bristled brush or sponge to apply it to the affected area.
- Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes before rinsing it off with cold water.
- If the stain persists, create a solution of 1 tablespoon of white vinegar and two cups of water. Use a cloth to dab solution onto affected area.
- Let solution sit for a few minutes before rinsing it off with cold water.
- Air dry the fabric or use a low heat tumble dryer.
Things to Consider:
- Always test the cleaning solution on a small area of fabric before using it on stained area, to make sure it won’t cause discoloration.
- Be sure not to rub the fabric or brush it harshly, as this could cause the stain to spread out and become harder to remove.
- Enzymatic cleaners can help break down the proteins found in urine and make stain easier to remove, so consider investing in one.
