How do I remove odor from my couch cushions?
Question:I recently had a ceiling collapse due to an exploded hot water heater that soaked my brand new couch with filthy water. Its a slip covered couch so I was able to wash to covers, but the cushions still retain an unpleasant smell (I imagine its in the filler) that I can't seem to shake. Any advice on how to get rid of the smell permanently?
Answers:
Spray it with vinegar, don't worry about the smell. The vinegar smell will go away when it dries. I agree with the getting it in the sun. The cushion will need to dry out completely first. Also, see if your renters/home owners insurance will cover replacing the couch since it is new. Good Luck!

You need to get it out in the SUN! It will get the odor out. Take the cushions and put them out in the sun as well as the frame of the couch...In other words separate it so it can completely get dry and funk free! After you get it back inside (It will probably be best to leave it out for a good day or two) spray it down with Odo-Ban or if you cannot find it go with fabreeze but I highly recommend the Odo-ban here is a link to know what to look for. http://www.odoban.com/productsretail.htm...
Hope this helps! :)
febreeze
Buy a gallon of this stuff called approach. It's a natural odor eliminator and if you let it get into the padding same as teh hot dirty water, it should neutralize it and eliminate the odor in the padding.
Give it a shot it's awesome stuff. I spray it on my couch all the time.
Good luck!
