How to get urine out of upholstery

Check the care tag code first, blot with cool water, and use enzyme detergent because masking urine odor without enzymes is unlikely to work.

Check the upholstery care tag code, and do not use any method it prohibits.
Blot the urine with clean cloths; do not rub.
Pretest cool water and enzyme detergent on an inconspicuous area to check colorfastness.
Blot the stained area with a clean cloth dampened with cool water, using minimal moisture.
Blot on a small amount of enzyme detergent with cool water, using only enough moisture to treat the stain.
Blot with a clean cloth dampened with cool water to rinse out detergent residue.
Blot dry with clean cloths.

Don't do this

Do not rub, because it can push urine deeper into the upholstery.
Do not skip the care tag code, because prohibited methods can damage the upholstery.
Do not skip the pretest, because the fabric may not be colorfast.
Do not just mask the odor, because urine odor is unlikely to clear without enzymes.

Repeat the cool-water and enzyme-detergent blotting if the care tag code allows it and the pretest remains colorfast. If odor remains after that, urine may have reached deeper upholstery layers.
