My new chair I got smells like weed how do I remove the smell

[ledizz]

So I just bought this racing seat off Amazon for $90 and it reeks of weed like I can’t stand the smell anyway to remove this smell?

[Helpful Tech Witch]

Pro tip: start smoking weed so everything smells like weed. That way, the chair doesn't stick out anymore.

 

 

/s ofc

Already did that, still smells like ass

Febreeze isn't enough.

 

You're gonna have to clean it with a baking soda paste.  If plain baking soda and water doesn't do the trick you could try baking soda and white vinegar but you'll want to test a spot to see if it discolors the fabric first.

RMA it and buy a better chair ¯\_ (ツ)_/¯
The above is my actual recommendation, but if you really want to keep it, maybe try something that's suggested here: How to Clean an Office Chair (with Pictures) - wikiHow

1/2 and 1/2 vinegar and water. Spray. Wipe. Repeat.

Vinegar doesn't discolor fabric, it's too mild.

Lightly dust it with baking soda, it absorbs oder. Wipe it down or hand vaccume it up after a few days.

I did this to my carpet when i moved into my apartment because the previous tenants hotboxed the place. Worked great.

I don’t think I’m going to return it because I got it for $90 and it costs $400

If you still have odor after trying all that, you could possibly just leave it outdoors (Under a canopy, in a carport or something) for a few days in fresh air.
You'd want to be sure it's getting air if for example there is a breeze blowing but not have it get wet or anything like that. As long as fresh air is getting to it that should work as well as it's going to. 
Normally that takes care of alot of it anyway and the longer you can do that the better but not for over a week I'd say.

Definitely take it back inside after a week if you let it go for that long.

Glad you got it sorted, hard to tell in the photo if fabric or not, was going to suggest an upholstery/spot cleaner like this and left outside to dry. The chemicals with these also often do deodorise as well.

 

 

You can also hire industrial ones and even pay a carpet/upholstery cleaner with a similar or steam cleaner.

UV can help with stains and odours if outside, just have to watch for fading.
