TBH I don’t know what that smell is but if it’s related to sweat and ass fluid then cleaning should be fairly simple:

Start with a 70% rubbing alcohol, set the chair on its side and soak then compress / scrub, this step should ensure no bacteria remains and that it dries very quickly for the next steps.
Next we’re going to try to counteract gastric and/or uric acids, which is to say hydrochloric acid, by scrubbing with washing soda. If you don’t have access to washing soda then you can either use baking soda directly or turn the baking soda into washing soda by dehydrating it in the oven.
Final step, to counter any other contaminants, rinse with some amount of acidic cleaner such as vinegar. This will also help remove any soda from the previous step.
Dry in a very warm place with lots of airflow.
Wash your ass with soap.

I suggest a small alteration:

Start with 70% rubbing alcohol, set the chair on ~~its side and soak then compress / scrub…~~ fire.

Buy a new chair.

Wash your ass with soap.

    No, that would be telling you that the chair stinks because you haven’t rubbed ENOUGH shit into it and big clean is just trying to swindle you out of your money.
    
    What I’ve described is the revolution solution.

    You sure about that? Burning the chair and buying a new one checks the GOP boxes:
    
    More consumerism
    
    Less environmentally friendly
    
    Pointlessly destructive
    
    The only thing missing is the big chair company going to your fundraisers and paying you to make people burn their chairs.

Worked at vet office, anything like urine or feces must be rinsed off or it will smell. Obviously soap is needed too.

He should powerwash it outside. Or, if in an apartment he could rinse it for a while in the shower.

Rincing vigenar might be useful so the chair doesn’t smell equally bad again

  It was implied thay alongside cleaners would be rinsing, except for the alcohol, but I guess expecting the readers to have ever cleaned in their lives was too much.

    Always good to specify, you never know
    
    If one leaves shit stains on a chair, don’t expect them to know this
