Aw, hell

Suggestions for getting the smell of urine out of upholstery?

Mark fell asleep sitting upright on the computer chair around 2:30. Awesome, I thought, and transferred him to the couch, so as to avoid him waking up cranky from a crick in his neck.

Except, not so awesome, because apparently his diaper was already near-capacity when he nodded off - and he slept for two and a half hours. And had had a fair bit of juice/water mix shortly beforehand.

His footie pajamas were damp; his blankie, which got tangled about him, was damp; but the killer was the couch cushions. Damp on top, soaked straight through to the underside, which was really wet, and the fabric under the cushions was damp too.

I took the cloth covering off the two affected cushions, and am going to machine wash them, delicate cycle, since there's no label. I pray I can wriggle them back around the cushions afterward. The still-moist cushions are propped up where the air from the heating vents can dry them. There's a towel on the couch fabric, which will get washed later.

Any suggestions, aside from Febreeze?

There is some stuff called "Nature's Miracle" they sell it at PetSmart. It is 100% guarenteed to get out everything from pet urine to blood. I don't know how well it'll work now that it's set, but you can try it.
