Hello there! It's completely understandable to be concerned about chemicals like dimethyl fumarate (DMF) in your furniture. Fortunately, there are steps you can take to help remove it from your couch.
The best way to deal with DMF is to let it "off-gas," which is a natural process where the chemical dissipates into the air over time. To encourage this, you should move the couch to a very well-ventilated space. A garage with the doors open, a covered patio, or a room with all the windows open and fans running for good air circulation would be ideal.
Warmth can help speed up this process, so placing the couch in a sunny area can be beneficial. It is important to remember that this is not an instant solution. It will take some time for the DMF to break down and be reduced to a negligible level.
For any parts of the couch that are removable and washable, such as cushion covers, you might consider laundering them. Since DMF is water-soluble, washing can help remove it. Just be sure to follow the care instructions on the fabric tags. With a combination of good ventilation and time, you can effectively reduce the presence of DMF.
