Getting Smell out of Couch Cushions

Freshen couch cushions Post By Kim (Guest Post) (04/15/2007) I myself, have couch cushions with "batting" in them, which makes them extremely difficult to wash. To freshen them up, from our Chihuahuas jumping on them, and our family coming and going, I throw in 2 pillow at a time in the dryer with several fabric softner "Snuggle" sheets, within 5 minutes the whole house smells wonderful! RE: Getting Smell out of Couch Cushions Post By Jesse (Guest Post) (03/04/2007) I recently got a cloth covered office chair that accidentally got very moist tomato salsa over the back. After getting the salsa off, I filled a bucket with hot water, laundry soap, and baking soda, scrubbing vigorously for several minutes. While it got visibly clean, some of the odors were still there. I found a laundry stain treatment and covered the area thoroughly and let it sit for about 30 minutes or so. Then I scrubbed the areas vigorously again, rinsing it with water mixed with baking soda and a wet rag about three times. After spraying it with a mild disinfectant deodorizer, I can't even detect any lingering odors. Good luck! I hope it works for you too!

RE: Getting Smell out ofleather jackets Post By rose (Guest Post) (06/26/2004) my leather jackets have a musty smell. how do i get it out RE: Getting Smell out of Couch Cushions Post By Jamie Shouse (Guest Post) (06/17/2004) The baking soda/peroxide would work to get the stain out, and no, peroxide will not bleach out any colors...I use it as a stain remover for everything from grape juice to blood, on any fabric and it's doesn't effect the color. Vinegar is the best solution for odors of that nature. If the smell is too strong, use 1/2 water, 1/2 vinegar. I too have kids and pets, and it's the best I've found for odor removal. RE: Getting Smell out of Couch Cushions Post By Phyllis Girard (Guest Post) (06/15/2004) My grandson wet our bed, and my daughter kept it from getting an odor by using baking soda and peroxide. Would have to be careful the peroxide doesn't bleach out any colors. however. RE: Getting Smell out of Couch Cushions Post By (Guest Post) (06/15/2004) Pour a generous amount of vinegar on the area. Then turn the cushion on its side and let it dry for a day or two. The vinegar smell will go away. I have four children and several pets - have used this many times on sofas, mattresses and carpet. RE: Getting Smell out of Couch Cushions Post By Toni K. (Guest Post) (06/14/2004) Soak up as much as possible with towels. Then put liberal amt. of borax on stain. Leave it on and it will turn yellow. Remove it and keep repeating until borax stays white and stain and smell will be gone.
