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 choose to have a professional clean your rug, you should schedule a visit every 12 to 18 months. Higher-traffic areas like an entryway should be cleaned more frequently, but a seldom-used guest room can go for more than 18 months without a professional cleaning. Discuss your rugs with your cleaning pro to get an idea of your home's particulars.

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.

The frequency depends on several factors, such as whether you have pets or children, the type of carpet, and the level of activity in your home. We recommended that you have your carpets professionally cleaned every 12 to 18 months. However, if you have children, pets, or allergies, you may want to clean them more frequently, like every 6 to 12 months instead.
