# How to Get Rid of Sour Smells in a Couch
Pet odors and food stains can set into a couch's upholstery, creating a sour smell that permeates the room. When this happens, certain commercial deodorizers do little to actually remove the sour smell. Instead, they cover it up briefly. Cook up your own effective furniture deodorizer with natural ingredients to eliminate both pet and food smells.
