Things You Will Need
Leather Furniture
-
Fill a glass or plastic bowl with 4 cups of hydrogen peroxide. Add ¼ cup of baking soda and 1 tbsp. of bleach-free liquid dish soap. Stir the mixture gently. Mixing peroxide and baking soda creates a lot of bubbles, so stirring too hard will cause it to overflow.
-
Pour the mixture into a clean, empty spray bottle. Mist the affected area of the leather furniture with the spray and let it sit there for a few minutes.
-
Blot up the excess moisture with a clean cloth. Let the leather furniture air-dry the rest of the way.
-
Apply a leather conditioner to the furniture, following the manufacturer’s instructions, to restore any moisture lost during the cleaning process.
Upholstered Furniture
-
Pour 1 cup of white vinegar into a clean, empty spray bottle. Add 2 cups of warm water. Put the lid on the bottle and shake it up.
-
Wipe down the affected area of the upholstery with a damp cloth. Spray the affected area with the vinegar mixture so it’s completely saturated. Let the liquid sit on the upholstery for a few minutes.
-
Blot the upholstery with a dry rag to absorb the excess moisture.
-
Sprinkle a generous layer of baking soda onto the smelly part of the upholstery. Leave it there overnight, then vacuum up the powder the next day.
