10. Done that to death...

I used 3 full cans on that damn couch and they triggered an asthma attack (Febreze is made from a corn byproduct which apparently is a trigger for me). Febreze just covered the odor for a little bit, but it came back.

I can't easily topple the couch as some have suggested. That damn thing is too heavy. I also asked to have it replaced, but unfortunately they can't guarantee if another couch will not smell as bad simply because these apartments are not segregated into smoking and non-smoking units. Vacancy is also near 100%.
