44 / 51 Cleaning Upholstery with Baking Soda

If you notice a strange smell coming from your sofa, here's a useful tip: Sprinkle a good amount of baking soda on the fabric and leave it there for at least 20 minutes.
The baking soda will get rid of the smell and even help remove light stains. After 20 minutes, use a handheld vacuum or the hose attachment of your vacuum cleaner to remove the baking soda along with the unpleasant odor.
