As soon as you start to feel that the sofa is emitting a repulsive smell, you should start cleaning it.

Any upholstery cleaning product can help you with this, if used according to the instructions.

For those who are used to doing everything with their own hands, including alternatives to household chemicals, table salt will be useful for this purpose.

It is enough to sprinkle white crystals on the upholstery of the sofa for several hours, and then remove them with a vacuum cleaner.

If you have an animal in your home, you are probably familiar with the odor absorbers that are sold in pet stores. In this case, you should act in the same way as with salt.

The use of acetic acid solution also shows good results.

In addition, housewives often use a solution based on hydrogen peroxide. To prepare it, dilute 15 drops of the preparation in a liter of water.

And potassium permanganate and citric acid are able to eliminate the smell of urine. These substances are quite strong oxidizers that have a deodorizing effect.
