Gather Necessary Supplies

Before you begin, make sure that you have all the things you need:

Baking soda
White vinegar
Dishwashing liquid
Hydrogen peroxide
Clean rag or towel
Spray bottle

Pre-treat the Stain

Start by pre-treating the stain with baking soda. Sprinkle the baking soda directly onto the wet stain, using enough to cover the entire area. Allow baking soda to sit for at least 15 minutes before moving on to the next step.

Remove the Urine

Mix equal parts of white vinegar and water in a spray bottle and shake it well. Spray the mixture onto the stain and allow it to sit for five minutes. Then, blot the area with a clean cloth or towel to absorb the liquid.

Wash the Hoodie

Fill a sink with lukewarm water and add a few drops of dishwashing liquid. Gently swish the hoodie around in the soapy water until the stain has been removed. Once the stain is gone, rinse the hoodie in cold water and then hang it up to dry on a clean towel.

Clean Up Any Residue

If there are still traces of the stain left behind, mix a solution of hydrogen peroxide and water in a spray bottle. Spray the solution directly onto the stain and allow it to sit for five minutes. Then, blot the area with a clean cloth.

After the cloth is no longer absorbing any liquid, hang hoodie up to air dry.
