Removing urine from leather

urine-verwijderen-leer

Urine on leather, such as furniture or clothing, can cause stains and a persistent odor due to the porous nature of leather. It is important to act quickly to prevent damage to the material. Blot the urine immediately with an absorbent cloth without rubbing. Then gently clean it with a damp cloth and a suitable cleaning solution, such as an enzymatic cleaner (e.g., UF2000 4Pets). This breaks down odor molecules instead of merely masking them. Avoid aggressive agents such as bleach, alcohol, or ammonia, as they can damage the leather. Also, avoid excessive water or abrasive materials to prevent further damage. Allow the leather to dry naturally after cleaning, away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Apply a conditioner after drying to maintain the material and prevent it from drying out. With the right steps and products, you can effectively remove urine stains and odors without harming the leather. Quick action and care are crucial.
