Hi S.!! I use a great product...it has gotten stains and smells out and has kept future dogs from smelling it. I know you're talking about your son, but I figure if it works on the dog stuff, it'll work with him. We dog sit for friends/family alot! Anyway, not only does it work, but it's safe and environmentally friendly. No toxins/chemicals. It's called Solumel!! I LOVE it!!!!

Try Totally Toddler stain remover and pre treater. It worked on my white dinette chairs! Not sure about old urine but it works on old formula stains, even if it doesn't work at least it won't ruin furniture futher. Good luck!

I use BioKleen BacOut which is a natural product that I know you can get at Whole Foods, Sunflower Shoppe in Ft Worth & any Kroger with a health food dept like the one on Lamar in Arlington.

I mix it with water in a spray bottle to get rid of all kinds of odors & I used it when my granddaughter spit up & many other things. I am extremely sensitive to odor & it gets rid of the odor & is safe to use.

I love your bio. I'm a Christian stay at home mom as well.

As far as the stains on your couch... Have you tried "spot shot"? I have yet to find anything that spot shot can't remove. I've used it on upholstery before and never had a problem with it taking out color (only the stain). Good luck!

Simple Solution & Nature's Miracle are great and available in the pet section at Target or Walmart or any pet store. They contain enzymes that break down the urine and neutralize the smell. You can also try Urine Gone. It was one of those "As Seen on TV" products & I've seen it at Target. I've never personally used this product, so you may want to check the web for reviews. Always check your fabrics to be sure the dyes won't run.

One great way to find the spots is to buy an inexpensive florescent light with a black light bulb. The pet areas usually have these, but you'll find them cheaper at Home Depot or Lowes. At night, turn out all the regular lights and turn on the black light. All the urine spots will glow so you'll know exactly where to treat the stain. You can also use this in the bathroom near the toilet. You'll be surpised exactly how much little boys "miss". I still use this every once in a while and my boys are 6 & 4, I usually find several "misses"!

I have always and will for ever use Mean Green. I don't know if they have it where you are, but I buy it by the gallon. My daughter would sometimes fall alseep on the sofa and she would have an accident. I would get up what I could with a towel, and then I would clean with the mean green, and when the family was in bed. I would go back and just spray that spot with the mean green and leave it to dry over night. When the morning came everything was as good as new. I use it to clean EVERYTHING. I even spray spots on their clothes before I put them in the wash and it has ALWAYS worked. I LOVE MEAN GREEN.

S.,

Jesus is the best friend we can have! Congratulations on potty training your son.

Find a Meleluca rep and buy Sol-U-Mel. It is the most amazing product. It gets pet stains out, wine stains, you name it. It is an awesome product.

Enjoy your blessings!

You can have it professionally cleaned. The pro will apply an enzyme that will eat the bacteria that is causing the odor. Otherwise, a surface clean will be just that, trust me it's in the padding. You can then have a protectant applied which will prevent further 's from soaking through. Make sure it's a truck mount steam clean method so that the couch gets sanitized. It's cheaper than a new couch and the small investment will be worth it, and your couch will be bright, clean, and smell nice once again.

Club soda is best, because it doesn't hurt your furniture. Just dot it on a rag and wipe the area until it's saturated. Try not to get it so wet that the padding gets soaked as it takes a LONG time to dry. I'm sure there are many other remedies, but this one has worked well for both dogs and boys! :) Have a great day.

There's a product called odorZout that is 100% natural with no perfumes or chemicals. I have had many dogs and two children, this product always works. The phone number for the company is 1-800-88-stink. The most important thing is that it gets the smell out. There are some local outlets that sell the product. Good Luck, B.

Hi S.,

The best thing I have found for urine smells and stains is a product called Sol-U-mel. It's made by a company called Melaleuca. They have less expensive and safer products for your home. This month until the 20th they have memberships for only a $1. If you are not interested in a membership I would be happy to just get you a bottle of Sol-U-Mel. This product also takes permanent marker off wood, fabric etc and even blood red finger nail polish or red dye out of white carpet. I have been amazed at all the things this one product does. Call me if you would like to give it a try.###-###-####

There is a product in the pet aisle of most grocery stores called "OUT!" It is for pet stains but if you read the label it also is for vomit and other natural bodily fluds. It works great! You mix it with warm water and that activates the enzymes in the solution. I recently saw that rug doctor also makes a spray version that doesnt have to be mixed with water. But I havent tried that one. Any product that is for pet stains that is enzyme based should work for you though.

I have used a product called Kids N Pets with good results on stains from our cat. You would need to test it on the fabric first in an area that is not seen. I use it on our carpte with good results. You can find it at Wall Mart.

Hi S.,
Get some urine out stuff from the pet department to get the urine gone. Then get some Resolve to spray on the furniture to get the smell out. Hope this helps!

Go to the pet store and find a stain remover called, "Nature's Miracle." Get a big jug of it (it's a little pricey -- about $20 or so for the really big jug). Pour it on the stain full strength until the stain is saturated (these instructions are on the bottle too). Let it set for a few minute and then soak up with a clean cloth. It is the best stuff I've ever used for pet and kid stains. Good luck!

I do have dogs and I use Zep (aerosol can) from Home Depot. It works wonders!! It has even gotten red wine out of my white carpet.

I have not used it on upholstery because we have all leather. I learned a long time ago that with dogs in the house, leather is the easiest to clean.

Good luck

We would be happy to help you if you call in a professional - I am the owner of Cornerstone Chem-Dry and we have been serving the Dallas metroplex for 15 years. call us at ###-###-#### or email me at ____@____.com If you try to do it yourself -- I would recommend going to Home Depot and purchasing a can of Chem-Dry stain extinguisher -- test it on an area of your couch that can't be seen to make sure it does not discolor. Pet urine is the most difficult thing to remove. We have a professional product called PURT (Pet Urine Removal Treatment) that works wonders!
Thanks and Good luck!

I use a product called Natures Miracle. I originally bought for dog urine, but I've since had to use it for my son when he peed on the carpet. It works really well and breaks down the urine naturally. It comes in a big jug, so I had to put it in a spray bottle and spray several days in a row before the smell and the stain went away.
You can buy it a a pet store.
