How to Get Pet Urine Smells Out of Cowhide

There is a way to get urine smells out of practically anything. I have done it for mattresses and other fabric. You can save the rest of the bottle for cleaning sweat from shirts, dresses, jackets and suits.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• 80 - 100 proof cheap vodka
• New, clean inexpensive plant sprayer

1. Vodka Bottle. Any cheap brand is fine. Pour or spray vodka on the affected area. Vodka can be put in an inexpensive atomizer ($1). Use a plant atomizer. This works for pet urine and human as well. Shopping for the least expensive vodka can be done at your supermarket.
2. Plant sprayer sells at most stores for a dollar. Spray in ventilated area or pour directly over the area. Let dry. If you have access to outdoors and sunshine that is best.
3. Vodka is what they use in theater productions to remove sweat odors from costumes. They hang them on hangers and spray every evening. There is no time or budget to clean costumes between performances and it gets hot under the lights.
4. Just air out and let dry. This project is not fun but it works. Try to keep it off your skin or it will dry it out.

Tips & Warnings

• The vodka will not stain cloth.
• Keep alcohol away from children for their health. Be careful not to leave the spray bottle around kids. They may think it is fun to spray each others faces and burn their eyes or get poisoned.
