Not Pampered Chef Related:diaper Leak on Couch, Need Help

[babywings76]

We forgot to put DD (2) in her overnight diaper, so by this morning her diaper and PJ's were wet. She came in the family room and sat on the couch before I realized my mistake and that she was wet. Now I have a nice wet spot on our couch.

What is the best way to treat this? It's a microsuede material. We did get it Scotch guarded when we bought it, but things still absorb into it just like normal. I have a Little Green Machine from Bissell, but the sprayer is broken. But it can suck up stuff. I'm thinking that this is just a surface problem, though. Should I wait for it to dry and then spray it to high heaven with one of those disinfecting material sprays that has the kill urine stuff in it? Or would just fabric febreeze work? Or should I use my ChemDry foam cleaner on it? Or something else?

I would 1st try blotting the spot. Then try using just water. This is what I did when a cup of tea hit our micro suede sofa.

I have a grandson in training....sprinkle baking soda on the spot and let sit 24 hrs. The baking soda will absorb everything (including smell). Then just take your vacuum cleaner to clean up the soda. Works great.

Yep! that is my answer too... as a mom of 2 little boys who are both FINALLY potty trained! LOL! You can even cover it with a towel as the baking soda does it's job. Now.. will say I havent tryied this trick on my microsuede couch. I use this for mattresses and carpets....maybe a test area would be a good idea

Shoot, I didn't get your advice in time. I was too impulsive with doing something to it quick since the kids kept trying to sit on the couch. Since the whole couch was seeming like it needed some refreshing, and I was nervous about Kiersten not leaving the spot alone, I decided to just spray Febreeze all over it. I blotted the spot as best I could first though. If it seems kind of stinky later, when DD is napping or later tonight after she goes to bed, I'll mess around with it some more.Thanks for the tips! I'll be potty training her in a couple months (waiting for late spring/summer with easier clothes for her to take on and off), and I have a feeling I'll be using your baking soda tricks often.

Another tip for while you are potty training... get bath mats and put them on your furniture. They have the rubber backs but are soft to sit on.. nothing goes through. You just have to convice kiddos that it is ok to sit on them! Mine always wanted to pull them off the couch.

Wow! That's an awesome idea! This will be my 4th child to potty train, so I felt like I had a good system down, but I LOVE that idea! I've never heard that one before.
