Would love to know if anyone who has submitted cat urination odor problems under this blog has been successful at getting the smell out. Geez, if I had read this site beforehand and known that cats like to urinate on lovesacs I would not have bought one. My cat pee’d on the naked sac before my cover arrived so apparently it went right down into the foam. I’ve tried the not so helpful “spot clean, dry in the sun” advice from the lovesac folks and it doesn’t work at all. I’ve been using “Nature’s Miracle” from the pet store to remove the odor and that product has a great reputation but it isn’t working. Anyone have other advice?

I just got a puppy, and because my other dog loves to sleep in the lovesac, this puppy has taken to peeing where my other dog sleeps (it’s a dominance thing). I’ve done the spot cleaning, but my lovesac has this very distinct Dog smell, and I don’t want that in my apartment =( I’ve thought about taking my lovesac outside and soaking it (not drenching, just enough to get the foam wet) in oxi-clean or another odor-eliminator and letting it dry for a couple days, but I wanted to see if this would be okay before I do it.

Any help or tips would be greatly appreciated!

Granny’s tip: Hello all you beautiful people who have let your cats and your drunk friends on your sacs! The answer to all of your stinky problems is simple Cloudy ammonia – this can be purchased at your local supermarket for uNder $2.00 per bottle. Pore onto, massage into -affected area and let dry completely – once dry the smell will be gone – works well with baby vomit and all other body odors. This is a magic product and a lot cheaper than febreze. (also good for cleaning things) Happy stink removing!

Our cats peed on the Love Sac once while we were gone, the Oxy brand pet stain cleaner worked great. The problem is you have to find the spot, ours was invisible. ::sniff:: But once we got the spot really wet with cleaner, we blotted it dry, sprayed both parts with Fabreeze Pet Deoderizer and let it sit by an open window for a few days… Cant even tell!

Good luck!

I had to throw my Lovesac away! We had a sewer line back up and the Lovesac absorbed a lot of the water. No way to clean that

You can use your dryer on the delicate cycle to accelerate the drying process.

From http://www.lovesac.com/faqs.asp
“Q: How do I wash my Sac Cover?

A: You can put your designer cover in the washing machine. Use cold water only, a mild detergent on a delicate cycle. Dry in dryer to only 80% dry then hang dry. For Sac Inserts: spot clean only. “

I’m confused. The article above talks about putting your freshly washed sac in the dryer. The ‘Care Instructions’ section on the following page — http://www.lovesac.com/supersac-covers.asp — states (and I quote) “DO NOT put your Cover in the dryer – line dry only”. When we bought our sac, the salesperson told us to line dry the thing, which is fine in the summer, but we got a lot of rain around here. Help!
