any suggestions on what to spray it with? I took all of the cushions off and let them sit outside for the better part of a day, but it didn't do the trick. I don't want to use Lysol on it. Any ideas??????
thanx - Jenn

baking soda mixed with a few essential oils & left to sit on the couch for a few hours & then vacuumed off maybe ?

How old is the couch? Maybe it's time for a new one?

ok, sorry I haven't thanked you all for your responses!!! computer caught a nasty virus and crashed and burned!! Dh got so mad he bought a new computer, so I had to wait and was offline for a week - eeeeeeeeeeeeek!

Lala - I have rosewater - LOVE IT! what do you think, just sprinkle it on? put in a sprayer?

The couch is only about 5 years old. But dh has been sleeping on it due to snoring(another thread. LOL), dd peed on it about 3 weeks ago(I cleaned it and no longer smell any pee pee, but still...), and the cats live on it when we are out.

I bought a spray from the health food store which has helped, but I am sure I wasted my money because it was primarily essential oils which I have at home. Oh well.
Thanx for all the suggestions everyone.
Jenn
