I recently bought a new couch that is leather. It is a one piece sectional and by that I mean the cushions can't come off. My stepkid came home from her mom's and sat on my couch leaving it with the smell of Downy Unstoppables and basically super scented laundry soap and fabric softener. Long story short I no longer can sit on the couch because I break out in a rash really badly. Does anyone have any idea how I can clean this? I have tried spraying it down with leather cleaner, but that did not help.

Baking soda works wonders. You'll need to sprinkle this all over the couch and let it sit there for a few hours. Afterwards, use your vacuum cleaner and vacuum it up.
White vinegar is another great product to use on leather to get rid of the order and clean the surface. Use a mixture of half and half in a spray bottle and spray it on the sofa. Use a soft cloth to wipe it off.
You can use a combination of the baking soda and vinegar. Start with the vinegar and after use the baking soda.
Well - you said you had already used leather cleaner so no need to repeat that process but you might want to use a leather conditioner after you remove the odor.
Use a leather cleaner.
You'll need to use the right type of leather cleaner for the type of leather couch you have. Or a leather conditioner.
You want to make sure to spot test on an area before trying to attempt to clean because some products can make your leather darker (depending on the color you have).
