No matter how hard you try to stop them, accidents will happen. If the accident happens on your futon couch, the urine can soak into the futon, which will make removing the urine and odor difficult. No matter who or what urinated on your futon, you must treat the stain, odor and proteins that are naturally found in urine. If all three are not dealt with, you will have an odor that can linger on your futon couch for months.
