How can I clean urine from car seats?

How can I clear urine from my fabric car seats? My son had a major accident in my car and I'm afraid I won't get the urine smell or stain out.

“You can definitely get a urine stain out of your car seat, but you’ll need to act fast to avoid a lingering odor!
Here’s what you need:
  • Rubber gloves
  • Water
  • Vinegar
  • Dish soap or detergent
  • Bowl
  • Spray bottle
  • Rags
  • Baking soda
Here’s how to do it:
Use a clean rag to dab up any excess urine that has not seeped into the fabric. Be careful to not spread it. Mix equal parts vinegar and liquid soap in a bowl. Add enough water to create a lather. Transfer the mixture to a spray bottle. Lightly spray the mixture onto the stained surface. Scrub the area with a cloth. Repeat until the area is clean. Using a damp cloth, wipe off any residue. Use a new rag to blot the area dry. Let the car seat air dry overnight.
Now that you’ve cleaned up from one accident, make sure your car is protected with the right
car insurance
in the event of a different type of accident.
