Step 1: Blot Up Excess Urine
Before you start the actual cleaning process, it’s important to remove any excess liquid from the surface. To do this, you simply need to use either a clean cloth or paper towels to gently blot up urine as much as you can. This will help reduce the amount of cleaning agent you need to use later.
Step 2: Pre-Treat the Stain with a Cleaning Agent
Once you’ve blotted up any visible liquid, you should pre-treat stain with a specialized cleaning agent. Generally, you should use either a specially designed enzymatic cleaner or a mild laundry detergent. Both are ideal for breaking down proteins in urine, which is necessary for getting rid of the stain.
Step 3: Scrub the Stain with a Soft Brush
Take the soapy solution you’ve created and use a soft brush or sponge to lightly scrub the stained area. This will help break down and lift stain, as well as further spread cleaning agent into the surface.
Step 4: Rinse the Stain with Warm Water
After you’ve given stain a good scrubbing, you should rinse affected area with warm water. Depending on the size of the stain, you may need to do this multiple times.
Step 5: Allow the Macramé to Air Dry
Finally, once your macramé is nice and clean, make sure you allow it to air dry completely. The best way to go about doing this is by hanging it up in a clean, well-ventilated area. It’s important to give the fabric enough time to dry before moving on to any other project.
