# Removing Dirty Sock Smell From Wood Furniture
Dirty sock smell isn't pleasant, no matter where it comes from. If a wood table or chair has been serving as a footrest, the smell can permeate the room. Sweat and bacteria lead to foot odor and are easily transferred from your socks to the wood. You can remove the dirty sock smell with supplies that effectively deodorize the wood without causing any damage to the surface.
