Answer 6

You might want to look at a new couch.   I got one pretty cheap by looking around.

If the smell is deep in the couch like Mildew then you might have a problem getting rid of the smell.

I would remove the cushions and vacuum the whole couch.

You can wash some cushions.    You can test on a pillow cover.    You should be able to hand wash or machine wash in cold water.

If it is a  sleep sofa check if mattress has mildew.

I would take a damp/wet cloth like a  hand towel or miracle cloth and wipe the whole couch down first.   Change towels when dirty.

Let dry.

Febreze it to death.

Make sure pet isn't spraying on couch.

Cover with covers to keep clean.
