We ended up getting rid of the couch, but were not prepared to go to the lengths you are going to. I hope it works. Febreeze will definitely help. I am answering you because you plan to put plastic on the couch once it is clean. Plastic has a chemical in it which encourages some cats to pee on it - so be prepared. I adore cats, but once they start that behaviour, it is usually but not always, impossible to correct. They will probably start in other areas of the house now. Something has upset them - it could be you, who knows, or maybe a neighbour's cat spraying outside and they can smell it, or see the cat. You could also get some Feliway (online or pet store) and spray that around - it often helps with inappropriate peeing. Good luck.<br><b>References : </b><br> I have had the same problem, and I don’t envy you your problem.

The urine is so strong and pungent that it would take years of oxygenation to get rid of the smell. One of my cats peed on my couch once and it took over 7 years for the stuff to evaporate. I tried everything including enzymatic cleaners available all over. No luck. Fabreeze will only mask the smell for 30 min and will make you sick to boot, it is highly irritating to lungs. If you cannot put up with the smell, I recommend buying a new couch. Don't waste your money on professional cleaning. Once the smell is in the stuffing, ribbing and thread of the couch, nothing will get it out but nature and that takes way too long. Good luck.<br><b>References : </b><br>Years of experience.

You would have to explain the situation, first, and call a peron/company that is reliable. And, unfortunately, not all are reliable. I had to do the same thing on a couple sponts on my carpet. because once they start,it is so difficult to stop them. One deterrant I have heard of, but don't know that it really works is to place a dish of food at the site of their urinatin. the thought is that they will not urinate or defecate where they eat. You could also put water dish there, but I would think that if the water were spilled, it would stain the surface even more. <br><b>References : </b><br>Personal experience by a person that has been owned by numerous cats in the past 70+ years.
