Weird Smell Coming from My Sofa – Any Solutions?

0
Asked By LivelyFox87 On

I bought a new sofa last year, and now it's developing a really strange smell that's kind of musty, sweaty, and damp. I can't quite pinpoint where it's coming from, but it's becoming a distraction since I keep catching whiffs of this unpleasant odor. The back seats of the sofa also smell off. Has anyone experienced something like this before? What can I do to identify the source and eliminate the smell?

You might want to give your cushions a good spray with vodka or 70% rubbing alcohol. It's a trick that works for those who need to clean sweaty costumes without ruining them. Just let it dry afterwards and see if that helps with the odor.

Try this method: spray your cushions with isopropyl alcohol, seal them in a plastic bag, and use a shop vac to suck the air out. Keep them in the bag for a few hours, then let them dry in the sun. This technique worked wonders for me when I dealt with similar stinky couches during college.

That sounds interesting! I'll definitely give it a shot. I just hope it helps.
