Mildew Remedy

I was afraid drying the couch cushion covers would shrink them.  As a result, the couch smells about as bad as Kai that time she introduced herself to a skunk.  A 10 lb dog is one thing, but we don't have nearly enough tomato bisque (or Axe) to cover the couch, so I resorted to a remedy out of Kelly Coyne's Making It.  

Mildew Spritzer

Cost/Treatment:  $0.50

• 1 tablespoon tea tree oil (first package thrown over padlocked overgrown fence yesterday)
• 1 cup tap water
• 1 commandeered water container and spray nozzle

If I could do it again, I'd choose a day when we're not working from home.  Tea tree turned out to be overwhelmingly fragrant itself (think rancid pine sap).  Thankfully, it seems to be dissipating and taking The Stench with it.
