Remove Urine Stains From Upholstery With Baking Soda
Step 1
Blot the area with paper towels gently to absorb as much of the urine as possible.
Step 2
Mix 3 percent hydrogen peroxide with baking soda and hot water to form a thick paste.
Step 3
Apply the paste to the area and scrub it into the stain with a clean cloth or soft-bristle brush.
Step 4
Allow the paste to remain on the stain until it is hardened.
Step 5
Vacuum up the dried paste, helping to loosen it from the upholstery with a soft-bristle brush.
Step 6
Treat any remaining stain by sponging a solution of white vinegar and warm water in equal parts onto the stain with a clean cloth or sponge.
Step 7
Sprinkle baking soda over the area to help absorb moisture from within the upholstery so it will dry quickly.
Step 8
Vacuum up the baking soda with the brush attachment of the vacuum cleaner once the area is completely dry.

Step 3
Place the fabric into the washing machine and allow it to fill up with warm water before turning it off.
Step 4
Add 1 lb. of baking soda to the water and turn the washing machine back on so that it can agitate the water and fabric for about a minute before turning it back off.

Allow the fabric to soak to for at least an hour before adding a bleach-free laundry detergent and turning the machine back on to finish the cycle.
Step 6
Place the fabric in the dryer once the stain is gone.
