Can anyone help with this one - as most will know I'ma newbie and stains ect are not something Ive had much experience with as yet.

Had a call from a lady whos inlaw has had a urine accident on a sofa.She called out Master care or someone similar as she said she was insured with them, and an upholsterer turned up with a small exrtaction machine,he ran a few strokes over the stain and told her to dry it with an hair dryer!!

Anyway there is still a smell of urine and she also wants me to clean the sofa and get rid of the smell.

I was thinking of applying Urine Neutraliser to the affected area and extracting with maybe FF,then cleaning the sofa as normal and again extracting with FF.I was also thinking of adding some Clensan to the rinse tank - is this of any use on urine?

Any help appreciated

Might be better to get the foam part  replaced wayne for a starter and treat the fabric as a separate item..

Sory wayne what i mean is if the urine has gone through the cushion etc..

Urine Neutraliser will do the trick mate. It breaks the salts down that cause the whif!

Clearly the problem is going to be in the filling.
If it's foam it could cost about £50 for a new piece of same standard.
Another option and I saw it somewhere about doing mattresses was litterally to take it outside and wash it out with a hose pipe, continually until you're safe in the knowledge that everything has been washed out. Then for good measures soak it again using a clensan solution then allow it to drip dry naturally. This method is clearly going to take some time but there is no quick fix to trying to sort of 250 ml of urine from 2 inch thick filling.

An option if the customer doesn't want to pay for new foam is to explain the problem. Treat the foam with urine treatment, dry it off using a mesh between the handtool and foam overwise you can damage it. Then the foam pad can be wrapped in a polythene bag before being put back into the cover. Then just clean the cushion as normal. This will create a barrier between any odours in the foam and the outer material. Not ideal but I have used this succesfully in the past but only with the customers approval.

depending upon the tension of the fabric we have used an injection method to kill of these kind of whiffs and have been successful  , had to go back to a mattress twice b4 due to the sear amount of urine.

Hi,

  Once the urine soaks into the upholstery and underlying padding and cushions, its smell is very difficult to remove. If the stain is wet, dab up as much of the urine as possible using dry paper towels. If the stain has dried, wet the area with clear water to dilute the urine, and dab it up with a clean dry rag or towels.Mix solution of 1 tbsp. white vinegar  and 2 cups warm water.Dab vinegar and water solution on stain.Apply odor removing bacteria/enzyme cleaner, such as "Outright Pet Stain Eliminator or Stain Gobbler if the urine odor.To solve this problem you must take help of expert professional

Thanks,
with regards
