The Avenger Posted July 26, 2014 Posted July 26, 2014 Anybody out there have a suggestion for how to deodorize a car? I was visiting family on Cape Cod where they don't have trash pickup - you have to cart your trash to the dump. On the way home from a dump run the empty can fell in the back of my SUV and I got some really smelly garbage can juice in the back. I vacuumed it up almost immediately and I've applied a bunch of different cleaners to the area in the back but I still have a garbage smell. I'm rapidly approaching Seinfeld territory here - just sell the damn car to be free of the smell - anyone ever have success getting some serious funk out of a car?
CountryCletus Posted July 27, 2014 Posted July 27, 2014 5 gallons diesel fuel, 1 match.... Joking of course... But sometimes it seems like it's the only way...
DC Tom Posted July 27, 2014 Posted July 27, 2014 I'm going to throw out a completely wild, off-the-wall suggestion that I have no idea whether or not it will work, but it's what I'd try if I were desperate. http://www.amazon.com/Pet-Odor-Eliminator-Urine-Cleaner/dp/B00CKFL93K/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1406429531&sr=8-1&keywords=petzyme I don't know if it will work...but this stuff does eliminate the smell from pet urine, anything that takes care of cat piss is worth a shot. Clean the upholstery with something else first, though (maybe Spray Nine).
Nervous Guy Posted July 27, 2014 Posted July 27, 2014 Try this, it's pretty amazing stuff. Got it at Target I think. http://www.zeroodor.com/
The Poojer Posted July 27, 2014 Posted July 27, 2014 Try sprinkling baking soda on the spill... Work it in and let it sit for a few days. Then vacuum it up. Also leave some open baking soda boxes in the car to help soak up the smells
ExiledInIllinois Posted July 27, 2014 Posted July 27, 2014 Well for all your trouble... I hope you found a 15 foot cliff with another pile of garbage @ the bottom of the cliff to throw your garbage on top of! Just be careful, they have cameras everywhere now, video is more damning than 8x10 glossy photos with circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back of each one explaining what each one was to be used as evidence against you. What's up with parts of MA not having garbage pick up? Betcha Tom Brady gets trash pick-up in Provincetown. ;-)
