Cleaning Pet Urine

However, always refer to the label of your linens to check the proper maintenance since a particular fabric may require specific care. Some homeowners recommend Persil or Tide which works really great to handle the issue. To remove the odor of the urine or vomit, you can add a cup of distilled vinegar.
