I was just removing some nail polish off my nails when I was sitting on the sofa (in the dark), and I decided that I needed to get a new cotton pad and put some nail polish remover (NPR from now on). Well, the nozzle part of the NPR bottle (the part that stops a whole load of it coming out) came off and got stuck in the lid and I didn't notice. Well, I went to pour it onto the cotton pad, and a WHOLE LOAD of it came out onto the sofa. Now there's a really strong smell coming from it, and my mum is practically crying (I don't know why, shes a bloody drama queen and the smell bothers her) and she's yelling at me. We can't afford to replace the sofa, so can anyone please please please tell me how to get rid of the smell (quickly)????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Get soap and stuff that makes things smell better like Lysol and scrub the soap on the sofa and spray Lysol or any product that makes things smell better and get a cotton ball and rub it on the place with the nail polish remover and pour water on it and wait for it to dry after you do that repeat what you did again and it will be better ( Trust me this happened to me to!)
Ever Heard of Air Freshener.. WOW!! I think that it works..
You don't need to replace the sofa. In fact, you do not need to do anything at all. The smell will dissipate over time. I don't recommend adding soaps or any cleaning solutions. Just let nature take its course. If the sofa's colors are not affected, just let the sofa sit. The smell will dissipate. Hope this helps. -
