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?

  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.

  2. Use water, oil, and a lighter.

  3. Keep on fabreezing. i think thats all i can say! =D

  4. Baking Soda.

    Sprinkle it all over the couch.

    Wash the sofa covers.

    Febreeze.

    If that doesn't work, you should get rid of it.

  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)

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

  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...
