How to get rid of a smell

[Ryan T]

So, without going into a lot of graphic details lets suffice it to say that something happened and now my older brothers car has a distinct odor inside. I've cleaned it inside and out, shampooed most of the carpets, used turtle wax interior cleaner on all inside surfaces and currently have 3 air freshners sitting inside of it. However when you get in the car it still has a wiff of that odor. What further can I do? I've thought about sprinkling baking soda on the carpets and vacuuming it up? Other ideas? Thanks.

Or if you want to go full nuke, rent a Rug Doctor with the car attachment from the grocery store, remove the seats and steam the carpets, then steam the seats if they're cloth.

Just how bad is it? You could always spray some Ozium in there and just trade the car in for another one before the smell comes back. :dunno:

^^^^ What Joey said.

If OB doesn't work.....try and grab yourself a bottle of carpet cleaner from a pro/ carpet cleaner company with "active enzymes" I had a client years ago with the little pocket book bitch dogs that shit all over the back of an ML..... it worked fairly well.

I'm not sure if anything mentioned would be strong enough, other than the rug doctor suggestion. I'd venture to say that, that's what a professional would use in this situation. I'm certain Ozium, while a wonderful little thing, is not strong enough, but might help instead of trying to just cover the smell with the air fresheners.

UV lamp + go to town with bleach/Oxy Clean, then steam clean carpets and seats, I think.
