Learn how to remove odors from couches, chairs, and other upholstery using Febreze Fabric Refresher. Follow simple steps for long-lasting freshness.
Quick Answer
To refresh upholstery, spray Febreze Fabric Refresher evenly over the fabric until slightly damp, let it dry naturally, and enjoy odor-free furniture.
Why Febreze Works on Upholstery
Febreze Fabric Refresher doesn't just mask odors. Its patented binding technology locks onto odor molecules and traps them, eliminating smells at the source. This makes it ideal for couches, chairs, and other upholstery that trap everyday odors.
The spray is designed to be used on fabrics that can be dampened, so always check the care label first. For delicate or non-washable fabrics, test on a hidden area before full application.
Step-by-Step Guide to Refreshing Upholstery
- Prepare the Area: Clear the upholstery of pillows, throws, and debris. Ensure the room is well-ventilated by opening windows or turning on a fan. Test Febreze on a hidden spot to confirm colorfastness. Always test on an inconspicuous area first to avoid damage.
- Spray Evenly: Hold the bottle 6-8 inches from the fabric and spray in a sweeping motion until the surface is slightly damp. Focus on areas that receive the most contact, like armrests and seat cushions. Avoid soaking the fabric; a light mist is enough.
- Allow to Dry: Let the upholstery air dry completely. As it dries, the odor-eliminating technology goes to work, trapping and removing odors. Avoid sitting on the furniture until fully dry. Drying time varies, but patience ensures the best results.
