Some accidents are waiting to happen. Urine stains can make clothing smell bad and the stains are sometimes hard to remove. This tip shows a couple of options to remove urine stains.

Urine in clothing

• One of the most used ways to remove urine stains is by rinsing with cold water. Apply a special stain remover on the stain after the rinsing is finished. Let it soak for a while and wash it in the machine. It is best to wash the clothing separately.
   
• A different method is by soaking the clothing for a couple of minutes in a mixture of one spoonful of PerBorate Sodium salt (PBS), one spoonful ammonia(azane) and one liter of water. Wash the clothing in the machine afterwards.
   

Urine in other material than clothing

• To clean carpet and mattresses it is best to use a detergent containing enzymes. First clean the surface with water containing sodium carbonate and clean with the special detergent afterwards.
   
• Urine stains can be removed by using a mixture containing water, soap and a dash of white vinegar.
