To remove pet urine stains and odors from a microfiber couch, first blot the area to absorb as much liquid as possible. Then, generously cover the spot with baking soda and let it sit for a few hours to absorb the odor before vacuuming it up.

For cleaning the stain itself, you can use a commercial urine stain and odor removal spray—be sure to follow the product's instructions.

Alternatively, you can use a DIY solution based on your couch's cleaning code:

• For 'S' code couches: Lightly spritz the stain with rubbing alcohol and gently scrub with a microfiber cloth.

• For 'W' or 'S-W' code couches: Use a mixture of one cup of vinegar and one cup of rubbing alcohol, spritzing and scrubbing the area gently.

If you don't clean your mattress, it can become host to thousands of dust mites. These microscopic critters commonly cause indoor allergies in the U.S. An uncleaned mattress can also take on foul odors, stains, pet dander, and bacteria. Mattress cleaning removes these contaminants and creates a fresher, more hygienic sleeping environment.

If you or your pet are unlucky enough to enrage a skunk during extraction, don’t douse yourself in tomato juice—it only masks the odor. A more effective way to get rid of skunk smells is with a hydrogen peroxide solution which you apply to skin, pet fur, or clothing.

In many cases, upholstery cleaning is a worthwhile service. Couches, arm chairs, and other upholstered furniture are typically used daily, so they quickly get dirty and can harbor germs and bacteria. Cleaning services can not only make your fabric look new again, but they can also remove odors and disinfect the surfaces. Upholstery cleaning is also far more affordable than replacing a soiled piece of furniture, in most cases, so it’s the most cost-effective solution for dirty couches, chairs, ottomans, and more.
