Will this get rid of new couch smell? I have a new couch that's off-gassing pretty badly and I need something that works effectively.

Yes, it should help as this unit is very effective for chemicals as it absorbs gases as well as particles. Helpful for persons with with chemical sensitivities. It contains Four (4) plus pounds of broad spectrum carbon/purifil chemical control media.

Serena,Not sure about the new couch smell. The aireox does eliminate many ordors. It also will take formaldehyde out of the air- which may be your problem. I am very happy with my aireox!

The Aireox will help some because it is a filtering system. That being said, if the out-gassing from the couch is really bad the filter will not get rid of all of the smell. The filters on this take particles (some very small) out of the air, not vapors per se. If you can, park the couch somewhere for a few days where it can vent harmlessly. A couch that was emitting that kind of smell would worry me about breathing it. Good luck!

It does get rid of gases and smells in the air (keep in mind the size of the room). However, that doesn't solve the source of the problem (the couch). You probably need to off-gas the couch in a room you don't use, that you can both close off and ventilate. If you get the room warm it may encourage the off-gassing process. You might consider putting a couple of Zeolite bags on the couch (they obsorb stuff and then release that stuff when put in direct sunlight for a while). Meanwhile, keep a (safe) window cracked open a little so you have fresh air.

I'm not sure if it will immediately reduce the smell. It works great to filter air but I'm not sure about concentrated off gassing.

I can't believe this won't get rid of any smell. I can't tell you how bad dead mice smell, my whole house reeked. It only took one day and by two it was completely gone. This stuff is great. At first it smells strong but after it's open a while you don't hardly smell it. Hope this helps

I has worked for me, if you scrub it in good with a broom or stiff brush, is pretty good to remove odor too.

I have used it on my couches and it does help refresh them, though not as well as a pro cleaning would. I thought it worked well, especially considering the price difference!

I'd suggest calling them. As the owner of two of these, my guess would be that if the odors are just in the air, then, yes, If the smells have been absorbed by carpets, furniture and so on, probably not. I find these units do give the air a bit of a smell but it's mild and certainly not perfume.

Probably, it could not hurt to get rid of the smell, one in each corner of the room, hope this helps, good luck.

Yes it does reduce odors from other rooms here that drift into my room, such as cologne, plug-in air fresheners, aerosol air fresheners, kitchen odors. Even using the washable pre-filter instead of the charcoal one works, I believe the ionization helps to filter out odors.

I don't believe it will make the smell disappear. It will cover it up for a while.

Yes, but you will have to hold it a bit harder with a vertical hold, I have used this cleaner with success on my couch. My couch was HEAVILY soiled with stains and pet hairs, but it worked. Depending on how soiled your furniture is, it will take some time, but it DOES work nicely.

We did not have an issue. The smell was reminiscent of a "new product smell" that dissipated once it was no longer new. I would imagine that it might be remedied with a cleaning?

It works for me. It is like neutralize the smell and make a no smell environment. It does not remove the odor right away.

Yes, smell will eventually dissipate - I left mine on the back of a chair for several days instead of putting back in box. It seems to have helped a lot. Entire item should get warm.

I did have a funny odor...something like oil or plastic when I first got this fan. The smell is gone now...took about a week of use to subside. The longer you leave it on the faster it will dissipate. I only used it at night, and then only on occasion because it is still so cold in NY.....Keep running it and it will go away soon!!!

It should help diminish the odor as long as there are no other openings air can enter. If it is a serious problem, in addition, you may wish to purchase an air filter. Costco and Amazon have some good ones.

Hi Jo,I don't know because out unit does't have those smell.Is it brand new? Maybe that's one of the reasons. Let it work for a while and see how it's gonna happen. If it doesn't change at all, you should send it back soon! Hope this help!

I really think it will. It's quite good at neutralizing smells. Although I think I read somewhere that a bowl of white vinegar will kill these smells as well. You might want to search this as an interim solution.

Depending on how bad it is you can use an upholstery cleaner to remove it, if that does not work Steam cleaning will kill the bacteria that is causing the smell.
