NBR: my cat peed on my sofa - how do I get the smell out?

It's a long story, and I'm sure this will be an isolated incident -- provided I get the smell out.

I found it within an hour of her doing it so I tried to soak up the cushions as well as I could.  Then I treated it with Urine Gone -- it's this enzymatic cleaner made especially for that.  I had to literally soak the cushions with the spray because I guess the stain/smell disappears as it dries.  DH and I got the black light out last night and it looked like we got everything.

Well, today it still smells really bad.  Should I re-treat it?  Is there another method you would recommend?  It's a recliner sofa, I can't remove the cushions at all.  ugh, this is so gross and nothing smells worse.

Help!

    That really stinks! Our male cat is a little brat and thinks it's ok to pee right NEXT to the litter box on an area rug I have in our laundry room. I sometimes put a vinegar mixture in the carpet shampooer and use that. It seems to work ok. There is also a cleaner they sell at SAMs that I have used before. I will look when I get home to find the name of it. I hope you can get that out. You're right there isnt much worse than cat pee. I sometimes want to just choke our cat!

    This!

    We have a cleaner called Petzyme which is supposed to help break down the smelly enzymes (it doesn't). You can give PetSmart a try and see what they have but between me and my mother we have purchased them all and nothing really does the job. Sorry.

    But hey! great excuse for new furniture!

    They are two totally different smells, but when I was trying to get Alex's pee out of the matress, I sprayed it with regular vinegar and put baking soda on top to soak it up.  It really worked!

    Between the basement and the couch...  move?  Tongue Tied  But seriously, I think you need a doover... starting with April 4th. 

    I'd try the vinegar thing.  Here's an ehow link.  https://www.ehow.com/how_5001874_clean-cat-pee-off-couch.html

    You might also try posting this on the pet board?  Maybe they have other ideas?
