I have a home daycare pus five kids of my own. Two of which are stinky teenage boys! Anyway, people always tell me my house smells good and i think it's because of several reasons. I do burn candles in the evening times (when there are no daycare kids) and I mop my floors three times a week or more with the strongest smelling Mr. Clean or Lysol I can find. I also use spray air freshener every time I change a diapers (all day long!) and I clean with bleach which kills every smell imaginable. The biggest reason I thin my house smells good is because I use those Plug-In's. I can leave them plugged in behind the entertainment stand and behind the couch and the kids can't get to them. I have one plugged into an outlet that is above my kitchen counters and the kids can't reach that either. Having said all that, maybe the 'funk' smell is coming from somewhere specific. One time I found rotten potatoes in the bottom of my pantry after wondering why my house had a 'funk' smell. Try the garbage disposable. Sometimes rotten food gets stuck in there. Hope I helped!

yes febreeze works great. If your cushions are removable spray them with frebreeze and let them set outside in the sun for a few hours. And then spray the rest of your couch and let dry. You can also put some Bounce sheets under your cushions.

In order for a couch to smell fresh, it have to be fresh. Hook him up with some new sunnyshades, some bling, and most importantly some attitude...

There is a fantastic product that works 100% of the time. It is called X-O odor neutralizer. You can get it on Amazon.com (cheeper) or ebay and QVC.com.
There is one that cleans and neutralizes and one just for the odors. It is great for pet odors and it is a safe natural product. Even gets skunk off a dog. Highly recommend.

You can clean it with a carpet shampoer or spray Fabreze on it. Fabreze kills the germs that make the smell.

Have it steam cleaned either professionally or rent one of the steam machines you see at supermarkets. They have upholstery cleaner as well as the carpet cleaner.

ugg i HATE febreeze!

also - try using garment refresheners... Downy makes one - but its a bit wetter than Lysol.
good luck!
