How Do I Get Maple Syrup Out of the Couch?

My toddler was too fast for daddy one morning, and while he was cooking the pancake, my son got a hold of the huge (and full, of course!) bottle of syrup, and poured a ton of the syrup all over the couch! I took the cushion covers off (fabric) and soaked them in Oxi-clean. What do I do with the actual cushions though?

What can I do next?

I don't have a recommendation for your problem, but I did want to comment with a "Thank You".

Thank you for letting me know yet ANOTHER thing that my baby will eventually get into. The more I know the more prepared I can be. :)

Take the cushions and hit your husband in the head with them for not keeping a better watch! Ha Ha, just kidding! ;-)
There is a foam store on 2nd Street between Market and Arch, right across from the Arden Theater. They will cut foam to any shape and size. It's dirt cheap.

I wish I could help you! My son did that when he was a toddler, and I still have stains on the carpet in his bedroom. (He's 19 years old!) Are the cushions the solid foam? If the Oxi-Clean worked on your covers, maybe you can try it on the cushions, too. Try putting a cushion in a large trash bag with oxi-clean and lots of water from the garden hose. Close it, squish it around, and then take the whole thing out and rinse with the hose. I'm sure you'll have to repeat that, maybe a couple of times.

I would throw it out. You should measure it first. Go to Joann Fabrics and buy another cushion. They are in the back of the store by the cutting counter. Just ask a woman at the cutting counter to get you the right stuff. Hope this helps!
