How to Deep Clean Pee-Filled Blankets & Make Them Smell New Again

Your blankets have been soaked in urine, and now they reek. Maybe it was a pet accident, a potty-training disaster, or a surprise nighttime mishap. Either way, the smell is unbearable, and no amount of detergent seems to fix it.

If your blankets still smell like pee after washing, don’t worry—you don’t need to throw them out. You just need the right method to deep clean them properly.

Why Pee Smell Sticks to Blankets

  • Urine seeps deep into fabric layers, making it harder to remove than surface stains.
  • Uric acid binds to fabric fibers, meaning regular detergent won’t break it down.
  • Heat reactivates the odor, making the smell return after drying.
  • Bacteria feed on urine residue, creating an even stronger odor over time.

How to Deep Clean Pee-Filled Blankets the Right Way

Step 1: Pre-Treat with The Stink Solution Urine Odor Eliminating Spray
Before washing, spray the affected areas thoroughly. Unlike detergent alone, The Stink Solution actually breaks down urine molecules at the source.

Step 2: Soak in Cold Water
Fill a sink or tub with cold water and let the blankets soak for 30–60 minutes. This helps loosen urine particles trapped in the fibers.

Step 3: Wash with Unscented Detergent
Use cold water and a fragrance-free detergent. Avoid hot water—it locks in the urine smell instead of removing it.

Step 4: Skip Fabric Softener
Softener coats fabric fibers, trapping odors instead of eliminating them.

Step 5: Air Dry If Possible
High heat from the dryer can reactivate any remaining urine molecules, bringing back the smell. If possible, air dry blankets outside for extra freshness.
