Does anyone know of an effective way of getting the putrid stench of cigarette smoke out of a fabric sofa? Normally the covers would be washed, but they're non-removable.. Short of cutting them off and making new covers, I'm at a loss.. Fabreze (or whatever it's called) isn't working. Took delivery of a new (second hand) sofa this afternoon and it stinks like it's been in a house filled with ten 40-a-day'ers..

HELP!

baking soda

try it on a patch of fabric out of sight

sprinkle it on - leave for a couple of hours then vacuum off

if it does not stain then do whole sofa

If it works but does stain, then do the whole sofa anyway.............

Bake on regulo 5 for 30 mins ..... but if the baking soda has made it rise, you might struggle to fit it in the room .........

No need to worry now.. It's going back to the shop it came from.

This stuff's supposed to be pretty good on bike kit, so may well do wonders for smokers' and stinky-arsed type's furniture:

According to my smelly mate who rides every day, the kit deoderiser does a good job on his wiffy kit. I've been trialling their bike cleaner and it's pretty fecking good stuff, so I'd expect this to work very well as well.

I like febreeze, everything in my house gets febreezed, have to restrain myself from febreezing Pete

Why restrain yourself?

If you took away the evil smell, there'd be very little of him left
