Tips for Getting Old People Smell Out of Furniture

 

1 Old Fashioned Vinegar and Water Solution

You can get old people smell out of wood furniture by mixing up a batch of vinegar and water. One cup of vinegar to three cups of water should do the trick. Use this solution on unvarnished surfaces. Before you try it on finished surfaces, try it on a test patch in an unobtrusive spot and let it dry thoroughly before you continue with the rest of the piece. The last thing you will want is to damage the furniture in an attempt to remove the smell. If you feel you can use the vinegar and water safely, go ahead and clean the furniture and place the piece in the sun to dry.

 

2 Baking Soda and Time

Baking SodaIf you want to get the old people smell out of a chest of drawers, grab a box of baking soda and sprinkle it liberally in the furniture. If you have a lot of furniture to clean or the smell is particularly stale, you can find it in a bulk food store. (Just saying.) This solution to the problem will work, but you need to be prepared to let the baking soda work for a few days before vacuuming it up.

 

3 Scented Furniture Polish to the Rescue

A lemon or citrus scented furniture polish can cover up a number of evils, and old people smell is no exception. A product like Pledge is a good choice for this task if you need to get the smell off of a hard surface. Spray it on and wipe it off. The room should have a fresher scent, and not trace of its former occupants that you have to deal with.

Placing a citrus air freshener in the house will keep any lingering aromas at bay and make sure that all your hard work was not all for naught.

 

How to Get Rid of Old People Smell from Carpet

 

Some seniors may have trouble making it to the bathroom in time. (There’s a reason why Depends and products like these are marketed towards this age group.) These kinds of accidents, coupled with vision and mobility issues, can make house cleaning challenging for even the best-intentioned seniors. When old people smell invades a carpet or a rug, you need to use a different approach. Here are some tips to deal with it effectively:

 

1 Deodorizing Cleaner and Water

When you detect the telltale aroma of bathroom smells in flooring, be proactive about removing the old people smell by mixing some deodorizing cleaner and water. Use a microfiber cloth to clean the area thoroughly and let it dry.

 

2 Pet Store Solutions

The pet store stocks products designed to remove the smell of urine and feces from carpets and fabrics, and they don’t necessarily have to be used on messes made by critters. The person behind the cash really doesn’t care whether Fluffy, Fido or Grandpa was the cause of the problem, so don’t feel that you have to share any details when you go in to buy something to deal with the problem of old people smell in a carpet. They just want to finish their shift and go home. For all you know, they have to do some old people smell cleaning of their own, but that would be far too much information, now wouldn’t it?

 

Just go in, ask if the store carries a product can be used to remove the smell of X, and you’re good to go. Follow the directions on the label, and be sure to test it on an inconspicuous area first to make sure that the color doesn’t run.

 

3 Steam Clean Carpets

If you don’t own a machine, you can rent one, and you should be able to get a deodorizer to go along with the shampoo when you pick up the unit. Follow the instructions carefully and allow the rug to dry completely and you should be able to banish the musty smell from the room.

 

General Old People Smell Removal Tips

 

Here are some general tips which can help you freshen up a room and say goodbye to old people smell for good:

 

1 Replace the Window Coverings

2 Bleach the Walls

Prepare a mild solution of bleach and water and wash the walls down. One part bleach to four parts water should do the trick if your goal is to get rid of old people smell. The bleach will disinfect any other nasties that have accumulated over time. Just be sure that the room is well ventilated by cracking open some windows or you run the risk of passing out from the fumes, and no one wants to create a medical emergency when all you want to do is create a clean, fresh space!

 

3 Burn Some Candles or Incense

You can reclaim the room and make it your own by burning some scented candles or incense. Choose something that you especially like and you won’t have to deal with any more old people smell. No need to draw any funny symbols on the floor or dress up in robes and chant to banish the smell; that would be just silly. Just light the candle or burn the incense and you’ll be all set.

1 Kitchen Clean Up: Vinegar and Baking Soda

Some people don’t like the way vinegar smells, but it is a lot more pleasant than sh – you know. After 15 minutes, sprinkle the area with baking soda and leave it in place for several hours before vacuuming it up.

 

2 Get the Smell Out with Borax and Baking Soda

You will need to leave it in place for a few hours to get the poop smell out of the mattress before you vacuum it up, as above. Let your nose be your guide after you have tried this method. You may need to repeat it if you don’t get the results you are looking for the first time.

 

3 Pet Products to the Rescue

A visit to your local pet store can help you find the right product for dealing with a poopy problem. The friendly staff won’t ask who or what was responsible for the problem. Just explain that you need to get a poopy smell out of your mattress and ask for suggestions. The store should have more than one type of product that has ingredients that will break down enzymes responsible for the stink factor. You may not be able to gauge how well they are working until the mattress is fully dry, though, so don’t assume the product isn’t working if the smell doesn’t go away immediately or if you notice it seems to get worse at first.

 

4 White Vinegar Paper Towel Balls

White vinegar and water is a natural cleaning solution and if you want to tackle the issue right away, go for it. Many people have vinegar on hand, and it will not damage your mattress. The worst thing that might happen is your bed will smell like French fries, which we’re thinking sounds pretty good in comparison to the poopy mattress smell.

 

5 Steam Clean the Mattress

Renting a steam cleaner or using your own if you happen to own one is another solution to the issue of getting the poop smell out of mattress. Make sure the one you are using has an attachment for furniture, since you don’t want to be lifting a heavy unit up onto the bed to use it. Some models, like the Bissell’s Little Green Clean Machine, are made for spot cleaning and this would be a perfect choice for this type of job.

 

Use the type of shampoo recommended for upholstery and don’t be afraid to load up on deodorizer, since that’s what your main goal is here. The mattress may smell fresh while you are cleaning it and as it dries, but you will want to get down and give it a thorough sniff test before you pronounce it odor free. It may take more than one cleaning to get rid of the poopy smell.

Check under floor mats, look under the seats, and anywhere else you suspect blood might have dripped onto the inside of the door, the upholstery, or the floor. If you spot any dark splatters, clean the surface and allow it to dry thoroughly. Once you are satisfied you have removed all traces of bodily fluid, you can turn your attention to getting rid of the smell itself.

Some of the products on the market can be used for deodorizing body bags, and this type will be able to handle the smell of blood in your car.

You can also soak a piece of white bread in vinegar and leave it in the vehicle for several hours. The vinegar will absorb the odor. Just throw out the dish of vinegar or the bread in the morning.

(If you choose the latter solution, take it down before you hit the road.)
