How do I get the smell of dead rat out of an unwashable throw? I came home from work today and sat down on the couch to read. I have a couple of beaded embroidered throws on the couch and kept smelling something rank. The other day I came home to half a small mouse, courtesy of my cat, on the floor, and tonight I assumed that rather than eating it like normal she must’ve left it under the couch to fester.

I wish.

I moved one of the throws—which I’d shaken out this morning, btw—and revealed a FUCKING ENORMOUS DEAD RAT OH GOD ARGH.

I was half right; this thing must’ve been dead for at least a couple days. I dunno where she hid it while it was building up to stink o rama. I hate febreeze and other room fresheners so I may just sprinkle lots of baking soda on the throw and leave it out to air tomorrow.

Okay, this turned out more of a vent than a question, but if anyone has other ideas, please share.

Personally, I would just throw the thing out, unless it had some remarkable sentimental value.

Get it dry cleaned.

I'd probably talk to professional cleaners. Call or visit a local dry cleaners and explain the problem and ask what they'd recommend. It may be possible to clean it without water, to spot-clean gently by hand, to soak it without agitation, or to cover the beaded parts with temporarily sewn-on netting and gently wash it.

Febreeze isn't just an air freshener, though - it's formulated to eliminate odors and there are types that specialize in fabrics. Honestly, it's probably your best bet if that throw can't be washed but even then I'd seriously consider tossing it because "doesn't reek" isn't the same thing as "clean".
