I have rescue dogs (my babies) and none of them where ever potty trained when I got them so my couch had turned into a urinal. The weather has been heating up and with it the smell had taken on a whole new level. It was to the point that I was just going to buy a new sofa set because I did not think mine was able to be salvaged and I am so avid about things being clean. The dogs since have been potty trained so I knew it was time for a full on attack. Previously, I had taken the furniture out on the deck, washed it and drenched it with vinegar but that did nothing. I was desperate to get the smell out so I found this stuff at my local club. Again, I took the furniture outside, hosed it down and used a mixture of Odoban and laundry soap and scrubbed away. I then repeated the Odoban (full strength) after rinsing and let it dry. I let the furniture dry outside and did the sniff test on the popular urine areas. Let me tell you, this stuff is a miracle, for anyone that has pets and knows how hard it is to get that urine smell out of fabric, you will be amazed at what this stuff does. I put my nose right up to the fabric and smelt nothing by the clean fresh scent of the Odoban. I generally don't like using products with chemicals, especially around my pets, but sometimes it can't be avoided and I feel the way this stuff works is worth the risk.I did keep the animals away from it while it was still wet and later when I shampooed the carpets I also kept them away until the carpets were dry. This stuff is also amazing for getting the smell out of carpets as well. I can't say it's effectiveness if you just spray it on an already soiled area without washing it, but so far everything I have used it for has worked great.
As for the one review saying the smell is bad, this person must not have odors in their house because even if I thought the smell was bad (even though it's not and is very clean and pleasant smelling) I would still prefer it over the smell of urine.
Overall, a great smelling and performing product and one that I will keep in my house at all times now. A must for animal rescuers or pet owners period. I do however wish the clubs carried more of the Odoban products in the club as shipping to way to expensive on the site.
