My dog keeps peeing on my sofa. I had it steam cleaned and it still smells.
I used Lysol liquid to clean and sanitize the area and then put some baking soda on the wet area. Let it dry for a few hours and vacuum it up. Then I sprinkled some more baking soda on the area and left it there. Worked fine for removing the stain and smell.
My kids have a plastic picnic table that we keep outside under our carport. A tom has sprayed it and now it reeks to high heaven. Anyone know a way to get rid of the smell?
I would try spraying it with full strength white vinegar. I know vinegar will remove odors from plastic containers so I think it might just work on your table.

What product can I use to eliminate urine smells, cat and dog, the ammonia smell, from wood furniture? It has not been urinated on, the smell from the area soaked into the wood. I am looking for a product to spray or wipe on to destroy this odor on the furniture wood and metal.

Try using water and vinegar 1/2 and 1/2 in spray bottle and use a scrub brush after spraying wood with solution.
Vinegar and water 50/50 plus a few drops of lemon or a citrus oil, wash down area, let dry,then doorway around area needed as the urine has spread out. Let sit for at least10 min.
Natures Miracle or Nok-Out will both work.
