How does this work on getting smells out of upholstery? Our dogs like lounging on the couch while we're at work and the cushions aren't fresh.

We have used ours after our puppy throws up (believe me, it does not smell great) and it refreshes the carpet and the smell goes away. I think to remove the smell you want to be selective in which shampoo you use. We use the Bissell shampoo that came with the machine. I would all suggest to best get rid of the smell, you would need to do a deep cleaning, lots of spraying and then throughly sucking up the water. We also clean the disposal receptacle, the hose and the nozzle after using to get rid of any left over smell in the machine so it is clean when we use it on the next cleaning.

Works well. If you still notice a smell you can try a different cleaner. Like vinegar in just the hot water if you still smell 'dog'. :-) Seems like it takes the smell out of ours - we're a two dog family:-)

I haven't used it on upholstery but use it frequently on our carpets. We have two VERY old pups with urinary problems so we frequently need to clean up. It works! We use the pet odor shampoo

I love this little machine. It cleans everything with ease. I use a shampoo just for pet orders and stains and it works great. This is my second one in 11 yrs. They really hold up. With 5 house cats and 4 dogs it gets to be fun cleaning up after them, but the Bissell makes it so much easier to do now.

my need was for oder removal, I have a male Cavalier, his pee smells like it's from a lion! This stuff really works for oder. I spray on my concrete patio, let it dry and the smell is gone. I have a stamped concrete patio that was then stained a terra cotta color. It doesn't have any stains on it from the dogs. I hope this helps

I could never get my dogs to use it. Even after I put a paper towel with urine on the pad. I would imagine you would need to clean it each day so it won't smell.

hi, I like your post. I just want to know more about "vinyl". We just got our huge sectional recovered with "faux leather".. aka vinyl. since the denim slipcover was old and the couch was still great! Also, my husband has allergies... and leather or vinyl is easier to keep clean. but the smell is terrible!! I had done a lot of research on the feel and look.. but never heard a thing about the health concerns or SMELL!!! I am encouraged by your post.. but still nervous it may not be safe.. and also. wondering if this smell will EVER go away?!!

we have found no odor to the pads. i have not found a better pad, it's big enough for both my pups (i have 2 westies). hope this helps.

I use Nature's Miracle Stain & Odor Remover, seems to work just fine. The pad is really heavy duty, I wash mine in the machine with a couple of towels, and it hasn't hurt it or worn it at all, it seems like it's going to last a long time. I have to say again that I really love the Piddle Place--so nice to not have to use disposable pads and fill up landfills, etc.

I can definitely relate, as the smell is over powering. I use scented plug-ins in the areas where I use these and that has seemed to help. I've used this product over a year and either I have gotten used to the smell or it fades over time or the plug-ins work. I don't notice the smell anymore.

I have not experienced any terrible smells from my futon. Maybe try a fabric deodorizer. Sorry I wasn't able to help.

I'd contact the manufacturer for information. I emailed them once when I was having problems getting rid of the smell of dog urine on a wooden post. They responded quickly and the advice worked.

It does get rid of gases and smells in the air (keep in mind the size of the room). However, that doesn't solve the source of the problem (the couch). You probably need to off-gas the couch in a room you don't use, that you can both close off and ventilate. If you get the room warm it may encourage the off-gassing process. You might consider putting a couple of Zeolite bags on the couch (they obsorb stuff and then release that stuff when put in direct sunlight for a while). Meanwhile, keep a (safe) window cracked open a little so you have fresh air.

Mine smells like I would expect new furniture to smell. No issues storing my blankets in here :)

Can't give you a definite answer. The bottle says it is for "washable surfaces and fabrics including upholstery". Use only on water washable items and surfaces. You must "saturate" the area and leave it wet. Then let it air dry. When "completely dry" wipe with a damp cloth to remove surface residue. I've found it has to soak into the stuffing or carpet padding in order to get rid of the smell.

It depends on the amount of odor/time the odor has been in the furniture. You may have to repeat the application.

I used this on a sofa and I didn't notice any scent. But I did do this while I had the sofa in the garage. The products really lifts the dirt.

I really couldn't say because it might stain and is designed to remove odors from the air, not fabric. Why not try one of the many Fabreze products that are specifically made for fabrics? They work for me with dog smells on furniture fabrics and don't stain.

Not sure about the color but this will remove odors . There's a dish soap baking sofa mixture per Pinterest that I swear by . Look it up

You probably could us it for that issue. We just use one of those Oxy cleaning solutions for pets so they lose interest in the spot they previously used. We've been using this so he stops chewing himself, so we don't know how well it would work on carpet or furniture.
