Question from Gem
I bought a new microfiber covered couch. It is emitting a horrible odor mostly at night. It seems to come in waves sometimes during the day as well. It has foam cushions which I think are causing the smell. Do you think this will go away? What do I do? I live in my apartment with a 3 year old son and a dog. The couch is very comfortable and looks good. I am afraid the smell might not stop. Thanks.

I think the sofa has to go. This is the kind of synthetic sofa that continues to outgas over time.
