Video Transcript:
I'm Anjie Cho and this is natural ways to make a chair smell good.
Because upholstered chairs get used, sat on, spilled on, etc. and because they can't easily be cleaned. Sometimes they start to smell, well, not so good. But there are natural ways to make a chair smell better. You don't have to use chemicals, you can go the eco-friendly route.
First of all, don't try to cover it up, I think it makes it worse. The best way to go is to deodorize and remove the bad odors. Some ways to do this for upholstered fabric is to sprinkle baking soda and let it sit overnight. Baking soda deodorizes by absorbing the odors. After it has sat overnight, vacuum the baking soda. This should help tremendously.
If necessary, move onto step two using white vinegar. Make a solution of equal parts water to vinegar and pour into a spray bottle. Make sure to test an area first. For instance, this will not work for silk. If that area's o.k., then spray the entire chair with vinegar spray. I promise you the vinegar smell will absolutely dissipate and leave the chair smelling better.
Finally, step three, if it still needs some deodorizing. Vacuum the chair one more time and leave it out in the sunlight all day. Did you know that sunlight actually can kill bacteria and a lot of the odors come from bacteria. Be mindful if the fabric has a possibility of fading in the sunlight. Again, do a test of you can.
There are natural and eco-friendly ways to make a chair smell good using baking soda, vinegar and natural sunlight. Net time skip the chemicals and try to do it the green, natural way.
