"With a steady stream of holiday visitors heading my way, I'm in major " clean everything " mode. I know my guests love me regardless of the state of my home, but I still want my place to smell fresh - especially because of my dogs. I can never get rid of the " dog smell " in my dark gray couch, despite my best efforts. So, I looked into how to clean couch cushions, hoping to find a way to get it smelling and looking cleaner than ever. I tested three different cleaning methods, and I was shocked to discover that the simplest method ended up being the most effective."
"Method 1: Bissell Pet Stain Eraser Rating: 3/5Method: My dad gave me the Bissell Pet Stain Eraser Cordless Upholstery Carpet Cleaner last Christmas and I mostly use it on carpet accidents, but I decided to use it on the corner of the couch that my dogs like the best. Using the recommended cleaning solution, I sprayed the seat and back cushions of one section generously and then used the vacuum function to suck up the solution.How it went: The cushions stayed damp longer than I'd like, even after multiple passes of the vacuum. The cleaner left behind a light "dog cleaner" scent, but my son confirmed that the actual dog smell was gone. The next day, the cleaner scent still lingered, but odor-wise, it worked."
Holiday visitors prompted a deep-clean effort to eliminate persistent dog odor from a dark gray couch. Three cleaning methods were tested on different seat cushions after thorough vacuuming and preparation. A smell-sensitive child performed a sniff test and provided ratings on a 1-to-5 scale to compare results. The Bissell Pet Stain Eraser removed dog odor but left cushions damp longer and produced a lingering cleaner scent, earning a 3/5. A steamer was used on seat and back cushions and received a 2/5. Tests were conducted back-to-back for consistent conditions, and the simplest method proved most effective overall.
