Well, the little spoiled brats have ruined our couches! Actually, a more accurate description would be that we let them. They ignored them for the first three months and then just moved in one day. We didn't care much until they started using a corner under it for a litter box! We have solved the problem of keeping them out - sheets of bendable plexiglass/acrylic from Home Depot, cutting off their access from the kitchen and my computer/sewing space. We fixed the problem of the smelly carpet by buying a steam vac. (That was so unbelievably disgusting, how many buckets after buckets we had to use to get it clean!). Now my remaining problem is a REALLY bad one. Somewhere, the odor has gotten into the couch. We tried washing the wooden frame from underneath. That worked and it doesn't smell. We sprayed the underside with an odor remover, and it worked well. The smell is not coming from the carpet or the under side of the couch. We had to wash the corners of the cushions where they rubbed themselves getting into the couch. THAT was stinky, but now it's not. But still, from *somewhere* in the friggin couch wafts up this god awful smell. The couch is only a year old!!! I'm going to have to replace the cushion covers, since they've decided digging the backs of them apart was great sport, so I am thinking maybe it's in the foam. Anyhow, Febreeze does not work. Doesn't. Just makes it worse. Bounce brand doesn't work either. I need something that I am able to spray on a Scotch guarded couch,. head to toe, in and out, that will work. It's really annoying, because I can stick my nose in the couch and sniff, and not find it!! I have a theory of where it is, but I'll have to do some in depth checking. I've heard of some good sprays with enzymes that just munch on anything odorous. Can anyone with this problem recommend ANYTHING? I can't very well have people come over and sit on smelly couches. Ick. Thanks a lot, Julie [Posted in FML issue 3174]
