How Can I Remove Smoke Smell From Settee?

[needawin]

We bought a settee through a newspaper ad. It seemed fine when we bought it but on getting it home and being in the central heating we discovered it smells heavily of smoke. It's a fabric suite.
So far I have used bicarbonate soda, shampooed it with a machine, left It outside for 3 dry and windy days, set dishes of vinegar in the room but it still smells. Taking it back to the seller is not an option. Neither is something like Febreze as the smell returns when the perfume goes!
Anyone know a foolproof cure please.

I'd take it to the tip and buy a new one. The smell of smoke will be so ingrained, you will never get rid of it.
Next time, check that it's coming from a smoke free home.

Foolproof, perhaps not - but you could try buying yourself at least half a kilo of onions, cut all of them in half or even quarters and spread them across the sofa (any cushions arranged like a house of cards) and the lot covered with a plastic sheet down to the floor. Leave for several days and see how it turns out.

In my partying days, we used to use (burn) bergamot oil to neutralize the smell of fag smoke. Might be worth a try

Are the covers removable?

Sadly,if it has spent its life in a house of heavy smokers , Nothing will get rid of the smell ! Smokers just do not realise how bad their habit makes things smell for non smokers !

Cover the cigarette smoke over with a more scent preferred smoke such as incense.

Have you tried Zoflora? dilute in a spray bottle and spray the cushions - you can get a miriade of scents and it works wonders on pet smells

I think your best hope may be leaving it outside for three dry and windy months.
