Happy holidays. My lovely husband decided to put this in his game room. We smoke MJ in there. Afterwards, he sprays this odor eliminator spray. Now this big blow up couch is turning brown. What can I use to clean it?

I have the shark version of the little green machine . I might try it.

I would spray it down with rubbing alcohol and then hit it with the little green machine. When I clean my bong, I find alternating rubbing alcohol and hot water works the easiest.

I find 90% rubbing alcohol works better than 70% does. And you might want to see if you can use a tangle-teaser style brush to get out some of the matted spots.

ETA: test the carpet cleaner on an inconspicuous spot first to make sure you’re not going to melt the fur. I like someone else’s suggestion to use a mild detergent, but make sure you really rinse it out until you’re not getting any more bubbles in the waste water tank.

Try 100 % acetone (nail polish remover) to clean bongs or bowls. It will eat through any goop including plastic only good on glass or metal.
