Share a few details and we will match you to trusted home care in your area:
I used so many pet sprays, laundry cleaners, vinegar spray plus air fresheners, fabric sprays and nothings removes the odor. A lift chair is not covered by medicare or our insurance so we cannot afford a new chair. Thank you for any suggestions.
One of the challenges of getting odor out of a recliner is actually getting the product down where the urine traveled.
You are going to need to soak the chair and let whatever product you use run down into the chair, just like the urine did.
Depending on how frequently and thoroughly the chair has been urinated on will determine how much product you need to use. Sitting in my recliner right now, I am thinking that I would be planning on as much as an entire gallon of odor remover to thoroughly saturate every part and piece.
I would suggest turning the chair over and spray saturating the under carriage and then do the same from the top. Put a piece of plastic with towels on top under the chair to catch the run off. Oh and be sure to get the seams good and soaked.
Be sure and let the chair dry completely before covering it with pee pads or you could ruin the cushions and moving parts.
Best of luck, odors are rough.
Edit: be sure and get some type of pleather conditioner to apply once the chair is dry and before use. This will help the fabric not fall apart as quickly, any furniture shop should carry this, if not, car dealerships carry these in parts and service.
If it has soaked THROUGH a naugahyde or some such into the stuffing of the chair I don't know that anything would work without soaking it, and it would mold before it could dry.
OdorBan is amazing. it is an enzyme product so it does not cover urine odors. I sued it a lot for just about everything when I was caring for my Husband and I still buy it, great as an air freshener, basic cleaning and sanitizing all depending on how you dilute it. Clorox has a Urine Remover that also works well. With any product do a spot test first. (my logic is even if it discolors the chair but removes the odor the chair is still usable, with odor of urine it isn't. You can buy a cover for the chair that can be washed more easily.) Might want to get a washable absorbent pad for the chair. The disposable ones have a slick back that will slide easily and may allow a person to slide out of the chair.
I am not sure if you can use it on that material, but the nursing home used Odoban in their laundry. I have used it in home laundry as well. It can also be used as a cleaner which you could apply to your chair.. Worth a try if you haven't already. Good luck to you!
