How to remove smells from car upholstery

nodwah

reminds me of when my son was sick in the car - I couldn't get rid of the smell- I ended up trading it in for another car!!!!!

You could try

Ayce Systems Ltd

They sell a thermal fogger and various liquids for all types of odour removal. I used one for spilt milk in my car and it worked.

Sprinkle cat litter over the upholstery to absorb smells?

Simple Solution Stain & Odour Remover - sold in Pets At Home and other pet stores.

If you have access to a cleaning machine, Bissell's Wash & Protect Pet Odour & Soil Removal Formula works well.

I used to work as a school caretaker.... inevitably kids would be sick in the most weirdest of places... a thing we could NOT work without was 'Sanitaire' or know as 'stapro sanitaire'... Basically sprinkly it on the bodily fluid asap before the fluid has dried then wait about a minute then dustpan and brush up... then just scrub the upholstory with water and disinfectant... no smells after atal.. works a treat! although it is expensive at about 4quid for a 500ml approx bottle... its stuff everyhousehold should have!

Morning all!
My friend puked up in my car last night (she was genuinely ill, not drunk). It's been given a real good scrub, but I can't really afford a valet at the moment; wrong end of the month! I detect a lingering odour, and wondered if anybody might have any tips to get rid of this please?
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

My husband did this once; drunk not ill. The smell lingered forever, so I would be interested to know too!

You could try a vinegar spray,it's a great deodorizer.

-1 tsp baking soda
-1 tbsp vinegar
-450mls water

Mix in a spray bottle,it'll foam quite a bit.When it stops foaming,put on the lid and shake well.It eliminates odours without using fake smells.

Baking soda and vinegar worked for me.

Hi dutchy,

I used bicarbonate of soda sprinkled onto the car seat where some milk had leaked in the car and it worked a treat....no trace of a smell. These earlier threads may help:
