#### **Step-by-Step Instructions:**

1. **Flush First**
Start with a clean flush to remove standing water and loosen any debris.

3. **Scrub the Bowl**
Use a toilet brush to scrub under the rim, around the bowl, and especially any stains near the water line.

4. **Wipe Down the Exterior**
Don’t forget the seat, lid, handle, and base. Use disinfectant spray and paper towels or a cloth.

Urine odors — whether from pets, kids, or accidents — can sink deep into upholstery and linger. But don’t worry, you *can* neutralize the smell without replacing your furniture.

#### **What You’ll Need:**

* White vinegar
* Baking soda
* Enzyme cleaner (especially for pet urine)

* Clean towels or cloths

#### **Step-by-Step Instructions:**

2. **Apply Vinegar Solution**
Mix 1 part white vinegar to 1 part water in a spray bottle. Spray the area generously to soak through to where the urine may have spread.

3. **Let It Sit**
Allow the vinegar solution to sit for 10–15 minutes. This helps kill bacteria and neutralize odor.

4. **Blot Again**
Use a dry towel to absorb the liquid. Press firmly to draw out moisture.

5. **Apply Baking Soda**
Sprinkle baking soda over the affected area while it’s still slightly damp. Let it sit for several hours, ideally overnight.

6. **Vacuum It Up**
Once dry, vacuum the baking soda. It will have absorbed the smell and moisture.

7. **Use Enzyme Cleaner (if needed)**
For persistent pet odors, apply a pet-safe enzyme cleaner following the product’s instructions. These break down odor-causing proteins at the molecular level.

✅ **Pro Tip:** Always do a spot test first before applying any cleaning solution to your couch fabric.
