How do I get the food (mostly curry) smell out???

Question

I just moved into a new home and we bought a couch and loveseat from a couple. They smell like curry though!! We've tried febrezing them, and it works, but they still have a distinct odor. What is the best cure for food smells?

Answer 1

try setting it outside in the sun.

the sun has a natural way of getting rid of odors

i know it might look silly just putting a couch and love seat outside, but it should work.

make sure to put a mat underneath it, so it doesnt get too dirty.

Answer 6

Can you rent a steam cleaner and use something that works for pet smells?  (since the curry is organic and pet 'issues" are organic - any kind of enzymatic cleaner should be able to get rid of the smell)

Answer 7

sprinkle baking soda on them & use your vacuum to remove the excess baking soda.

Answer 8

get a furniture steamer make sure it is safe on the fabric your couch is made of, the steam will lift out the smell, febreze only covers it up...
