Very Dusty Old Couch |
|
|
My mom has this old, dust filled couch in our attic. I am moving into the attic and would like to use it for me and my friends. It is a fold out bed-type couch, which is extremely heavy and has attached pillows. Just sitting on it I can feel the dust living in every inch of the material. I have allergies and even though I know it's going to be a big task, I would rather save money and clean it up than throw it out and get something else.
Any suggestions on how to get rid of the horrible dust mites, dust bunnies, giraffes, alligators, etc.?

After doing all of the above, i'd recommend you cover the couch w/removable covers. For couches that don't have premade covers, I've used sheets; they work quite well. Now a twin sheet 'protects' the bahama couch cover and its bolster pillows. To keep cat hair off it, a layer of plastic is laid atop all that; for when the cat has learned how to slide underneath the plastic a further scattering of large, heavy books works wonder; the plastic is removed when the couch is used, then replaced. It's tough dealing w/allergens but w/patience we can adapt to accomodate them.

After vacuuming it thoroughly, put it in the strong sun light to help kill odors. Rotate the cushions in the sun, too.

Vacuum the old couch really well (inside and out) then try some of the spray foam cleaners you can buy in a store and then vacuum again. I would also spray it with fabreeze to freshen it further.
