I'm potty training my daughter and my poor couch and area rug are bearing the brunt of this.
I can't find a green cleaner that works on upholstery and rugs and both gets out the smell and doesn't leave a ringed darker patch/stain.
There has to be a non-chemical cleaner that does both, right?
Any recommendations? Thanks!

If you have a shop vac I can tell you what I would do. Scrub the spots with a really soapy sponge. Rinse thoroughly- I'd use a cup. Use the shop vac to extract all the dirty water- you may have to repeat more than once. YOu could do the same thing with a cleaner made for removing pet stains, but dishsoap works great for me.(I LOVE mrs. meyers lemon verena scent) Put a fan in the room to aid the drying process.
Good luck- McChatty

I have always sprayed a mixture of white vinegar and water (mostly white vinegar) on upholstery and carpets when needed. It gets rid of odors and it also works as a neutralizer. When it is first sprayed, it smells like vinegar, but the vinegar smell goes away quickly.

I blot up the area with a white rag towel, spray the vinegar and water mixture, and blot again with a clean white rag towel.
