since now wfh, been spending more time at home with fam and more time to take care of house chores
due to pandemic, everyone been more alert about hygiene...recently, see that there is some weird smell coming from furniture
at first thought maybe kids pour liquid on it but even after cleaning seems the smell remain esp in the living room
anyway to deal with it?

hair dryer and baking soda method... or charcoal humidifier.

Febreeze?

tried for first option...sadly the smell still there and living room has that smell too
not sure if it will cause any bad health to kids and elder as my parents live me
at first the smell not so strong but lately start to get worse

only can cover the smell for a short moment
even spray it in the air lol doesn't solve the matter permanently but thx for sharing
afraid as time pass may cause harm to fam if continue to breath in esp at this pandemic time

First identified what smell is that...sofa made of what...if is old sofa,good time to get a new one

Find the source first la. Might be mold or something.

Bring that furniture go under the sun for few days...
if it is milk that seep into it.. u can bet there are maggots chewing on ur furniture

yeah need to find the smell and eventually after researched it seems to be something called formaldehyde
usually find in wood products, furniture etc it seems like common issue for furniture
but not gonna throw the sofa since it is still good...would air purifier help in this case?

prev did and not really solve the issue...
as spoken above it is some colorless gas call formaldehyde
my sofa has wood material so guess it is common to have that smell of it
thinking to buy air purifier to reduce this problem as it will pollute air quality

if on fabric the confirm no choice need to change dy. if hard surface furniture still can wipe off i guess

I use febreeze and dettol

You may take this opportunity to change your mattress.. No joking as when the liquid been absorbed to inside the mattress it is hard to clean and nowadays the bed are quite affordable
