Step 1
Soak in baking soda
Before washing your urine-stained clothing item with a laundry detergent, you can try soaking it in a sink or tub with a mixture of baking soda and warm water—although, in most cases just washing it with a high-quality detergent like Tide will suffice. In a large sink or bathtub, make a solution of baking soda and warm water, agitate to make sure the baking soda is evenly dispersed, add your stinky items—making sure the stained items are submerged and leave them there for 15 minutes to give the baking soda solution enough time to break down the uric acid present in the urine. Rinse thoroughly to prevent the high pH of the baking powder from interfering with the effectiveness of the laundry detergent. Then wash immediately.
