How to remove urine smell from leather.

[backwoodsman]

One of our daughter had a little accident on one of our leather sofas.

I cleaned it immediately, with plain water, and thought we had got away without any soaking in, but now 6 hours later, it is really starting to smell.

What would be the best thing to clean it with?

Urinoff. Designed for cat pee but works. Then dont forget to use a leather cleaner and sealant after.

No way, this is 20 years old, and just taking a nice patina.

I was hoping the cause might be more 'exotic'.

wanders in, realises thread isn't about what I was hoping it was, wanders out again.....

Don't laugh - get some Original Source Mint shower gel, rub a little onto the affected area and leave it alone for a couple of hours.

Dry sponge it off (wet sponge not good - foam party!!!) and then use a regulation leather cleaner, Lord Sheraton or something similar.

Follow up with your regular cleaning/treating products.

Thanks, I'll try this first, as that is my shower gel of choice, so have everything already in the house.

You need an enzyme based cleaner something like Control One this stuff effectively eats the source of the smell

I used Pets At Home Odour Destroyer when my OH's wretched moggy widdled all over my car seats.

It requires several applications but it does work.

2 years later it doesn't smell like piss anymore but sometimes I get paranoid if I am around others on a hot day.

Very honest of you

That's the first time I've seen that word used for "piss".
