How can I get cigarette-smoke smell out of a futon mattress?

Question

My sister and I picked up a futon our neighbors were throwing away (they're redoing their house) and it's great... except that the mattress smells like cig.smoke. I took off the cover and washed it twice - it seems to be fine - and the matt. is currently on our porch, practically soaked in Lysol disinfectant spray.

Any tips or tricks as to how to get rid of the smoke smell? Or should I just give up on this one? (And if so... any idea how much a new futon matt. costs?)

Thanks so much for your help. =]

Answer 1

don't smoke!

Answer 2

spray it with fabreeze then put it in an airtight bag for a few days it might work.

i had an afghan that i made that smelled like cig smoke, i did what i suggested to you and the smell of cigs was gone

Answer 3

I would get a new one.  They are not too much.  You might be able to pick one up at a second hand store.

Answer 4

it will eventually, you need to sit it out side on the porch, and let the air and wind do their magic

Answer 5

Febreze like crazy!

Answer 6

Keep it outside and eventually the smell will go, it just takes time.  Annoying, I know!  Try spraying it with Febreze as well, that helps.

Answer 7

SPRAY WITH LYSOL, THEN FEBREEZE!
