Eliminate dog smell from couch??

Misteek

Hey guys

I bought a 2nd hand couch. But it stink of dog as the owner had 2.

It's fabric material. 

Is there a away of eliminating this odour ?

Behind the cushions there's dog hair. I tried vacuuming it up. But some doesn't get suckdd up.  Anyone know any other ways of doing it ?

Thanks

How about trying some bicarbonate of soda sprinkled on it and leaving it for a while...then hovering it up?

Think you will struggle to be honest.

I will try that.

Have u both tried things ?

I’ve used bicarb to get smells off a dog coat, but I had to leave it in a bag with the bicarb for quite a long time. Really can’t see it working on a couch.
Other options are Febreze type spray stuff or hiring an upholstery cleaner.

I wouldn't have bought a second hand couch from dog / pet owners (or smokers) - the odour may be impossible to get rid of.

Are any of the covers removable for washing? To get rid of the hair could you try tape / lint rollers?

You could try one of those Rug Doctor type machines or there are usually local companies who do upholstery cleaning - ask on your local social media sites. I've  seen them cleaning suites in the Heart Foundation shop with the machines and they seem to remove the smell quite successfully.

Hi you could use Nuetradol powder which is for carpets and soft furnishings 
it’s not too expensive and it’s really effective 
good luck

Take all the cushion covers off, and wash them. Air all the cushions for a very long time. You never know, it might help!
