How to get rid of a smell - Ryan T - 06-19-2013 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.

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: Re: How to get rid of a smell - premiershine9 - 06-24-2013 ^^^^ 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. Re: How to get rid of a smell - Jewels - 06-25-2013 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.
