The only thing you can do is get rid of the problem is to get rid of the couch. 2k down the drain. Has anyone else had this happen to you?
I know nothing about DMF, but wondering if you can remove it from the surface of your recliner? I would try "washing" the surface to try and remove it, or at least dilute it. If it's fabric, then perhaps steam cleaning wopuld work. If leather, than wiping it down might do the trick.

If you are going to get rid of the recliner, you have nothing to lose.
