hello everyone,

we bought a 2 piece suite from ebay and have discovered that it all stinks of smoke

I have no idea what to do to get rid of the smell?? what can I clean fake leather with and can you ever get rid of the smell of smoke?

Nothing removes its all sewn together.

Has anyone ever experienced this?

I need to start saving so I plan to save £2 a week to start with:beer:

    How about start with a simple "vinegar-and-water" solution and go on from there? Make sure you get into all the nooks and crannies, especially the piping :)

    What about a few drops of Stardrops to wash it , then clean cloth to rinse it off . Zoflora disinfectant has some nice smells in the range . You might need to clean it a few times for it to work. Has the base of the furniture got a cloth covering ? You could spray this with febreeze .
