Help: re damp smell on cushions

gingababe

Hi Guys,

I wonder if anyone can help me, my little girl had two cushions sent to her for christmas, they are fab just what she wanted, however the way they were wrapped & they lenght of time they must of been wrapped for in plastic, they have sweat! & they smell damp.now I can't wash them. (It says damp sponge clean only, do not soak or wet) they are Disney ones but not from this country.Does anyone have any ideas how I can get smelly fresh? She is so upset, but they do really smell.
I would be grateful of any help or ideas.

Many thanks in advance

I would hang them out in the fresh air to dry and hopefully remove the smell. I'm sure someone will come along with a better answer soon.

Bicarb them in a sealed bag and then allow the bicarb to absorb the smell - shake or hoover afterwards.

Or use tumble drier sheets or febreeze.

Spray them with Febreze. It really works. Smells gone!!!!

Agreed, however I'm never sure what that stuff does to your lungs :P

I' say Febreze and then a day on the line.

If they aint fresh after that, repeat above after a gentle wash.

Do you have an airing cuoboard( or know someone who has?) to get rid of the smell. Far too cold to go outside. Brrrrrrrrrrr!
