Thread: Remove stench from car?

I just got my b14 and this thing smells like a dog.... We took it a while ago to pick up a dog and the dog threw up in it twice then he had a puppy basically living in the back seat... I've tried shampooing the back seat and I can still smell it..... WTF DO I DO without having to get a new seat? They are clean without any stains or rips its just that nasty smell...! I think its also on the carpet as well... HELP

Oh yeah, I already tried shampooing the seat and carpet with bissel pet odor remover and that didn't work

baking soda?

going to try that tonight... I hope it works

I had a guy leave catfish etouffee in my back seat and it spilled. I didnt find it until almost two days later. Eventually a lot of febreeze worked it out but I dunno about dog puke.

Or just buy new seats. The rears are usually pretty cheap because ricers pull them out and they end up in their mom's garage taking up space.

Don spray fabreeze, literally dump it. Get 4 bottles, Dump and soak the damn seat, pull themm out of the car and just soak the shit out of them. Then soak the floorboard. Also u can use a blow dryer to help dry them faster and soak again. Ive had a person with explosive liquid diareah in my back seat before, now that smells great on a nice sunny day but now it smells all like lavendar fresh lol.

You guys make me lol.Just getting the smoker smell out of my car was bad enough for me.

If anyone got in my car and had explosive diareah,they would be banned for life!
Who does that? rides around in someones car shitting all over the place??
You need some better friends..haha

I've used bags of charcoal before to get smells out of my cars, takes a bit but it absorbs it over time

you have to get the carpet soaking wet...I mean soaking and scrub the hell out of it.

just buy a new carpet!! and wash your seats!! mabe the headliner is smelly too due to smoke.. dont wash the carpet its old and smelly..


my 91 i got a few months ago smelled like dog sh*t..

i replaced the carpet and cleaned where the carpet lays.. bought 03 spec v seats and installed new headliner and car smells like sorta new with black ice air refreshner

when i had the carpet off i cleaned the inside really good.

step one. vacuum the whole car.
step two. pour baking soda sparingly in the whole car, and let it sit overnight.
step three. vacuum the baking soda out(this will be a bitch)
step four. clean your seats, and carpet with an upoholstry cleaner with oxyclean or odor eliminator in it.
step five. close all the windows, doors, and spray(more like fog) the inside of the car with ozium and hotbox it in a sense. let it sit for awhile. i mean like fog it like hold the can in there for a good 15 seconds spraying and then close the door.

that should get rid of everything. if not, your SOL. after that you might as well finish cleaning the interior.

frebreeze doesnt really work. its more of a masking as the scent will come back and you have to keep using it.

otherwise you could go rent a rug doctor from home depot or w/e and then actually deep clean your seats and carpet. iirc its like 35 bucks a day. shampooing alone out of a can doesnt work, and bissle is a joke.
