Microfibre odour...

IC3 · 30 Jan 2015 at 14:15

Hello, not that long ago there was a party at my friends house and someone puked on his Kashmir Microfibre chair.

He managed to get rid of all the mess from the chair, but there's still an odour which has a really weird smell... Any possible ideas of how to get rid of it before throwing it in the bin? :rolleyes:

Baking soda.

Tried that, I took chemicals which I usually use to clean car seats and we left it there for a whole day to dry. You could say that the smell changed and there's less of it. But he wants it all gone or otherwise a new chair.

Will give it a go.

Well we used Febreeze freshener for furniture, didn't really help much. It only got rid of the smell for around 5 hours...

Write an invoice to the subhuman responsible for a new chair.

Sometimes the smell just won't go

That wouldn't be an bad idea, only if he knew who it was.

We'll give it a go with baking soda and White Vinegar spray.

If someone vomited on it, there's probably some residual... stuff, so you would perhaps need to dismantle it to completely remove the smell?

Mynight · 30 Jan 2015 at 14:40

If he doesn't know who did it just send everyone at the party an invoice saying we have you on cctv (webcam) doing it so please pay up.

See who pays up

Stick both him and it in a very hot shower for thirty minutes.

Try washing it with biological soap powder.

Some kind of foaming cleaner might help, I'll find out what the one I have is. I've used it to clean coffee/coke out of the cars seats, and beer, which stank, and now you can't smell it at all.

DNA test!

White vinegar / water spray? Smells like a chip shop for a bit but its better than the alternative

I think you just need loads and loads of solvent (water) on it to flush as much of the bad stuff out as possible.

I'd give the effected area the hose-pipe treatment outside and then try to dry it with a hair dryer or fan heater over a few hours.
