How do I get basement smell out of my couch!

Help ladies! My couch was being stored in the basement, and now it smells like a musty nasty basement. Any ideas.... I hate to just spray it with febreeze I don't feel like that really works on fabric.

TIA!

Re: How do I get basement smell out of my couch!

  • Can you take the covers off the cushions and wash them in the gentle cycle? I do that when my couch needs a good cleaning.

     If thats not a possibility maybe you could look into renting one of those steam cleaners? I have my own and it has an upholstry attachment that works wonders. 

     Other than that you may have to hire a professional.  Good Luck!

  • I agree with the above post.  If you can wash any covers then it would be ideal.  If it is deeper then that you may be able to Febreeze the actual couch cushion stuffing.  Also, the steam cleaners do work very well so that may help as well.
  • Is there any way you could spray it with fabreeze and then put it outside? If not the whole thing maybe just the cousions. If you don't want to wash the cushion covers you could still take them apart, fabreeze and put outside. I notice when I hang something outside, especially in this cool fall air it ends up doing the job!
