Please help - I've over Neutradoled the car!

Options
There was a nasty dirty water smell in the car and after reading various posts on here I decided to give Neutradol a go. Needless to say I over did it a bit:o. Any suggestions as to how long it will last, or how I can remove the smell of the Neutradol would be most gratefully received. Obviously there are limitations as to when and where I can leave the windows and doors open:rolleyes:.
We're going on holiday on Saturday (hence attempted removal of original smell!) and it's giving me a headache.
I have plenty of willpower - it's won't power I need.

    Bicarb gets rid of bad smells so a bowl of that in the car might help.

    In the evening sprinkle any frabic with cat litter, that will soak up the smell you have left. Be sure to give it a good hoovering in the moring :D

    I take it you mean the modern odour-control cat litter; not the fuller's earth type? And fresh, not used? Just to be sure.

    :rotfl: Fresh fresh fresh.

    And yes, get the gravel type. If you get Tesco's own brand, it comes in a blue bag and alread has a nce aroma :D

    I hope it's nicer than Neutrdol. 3 days later it still smells! It's being repaired today so I'm hoping the mechanics have the doors open. It usually smells of grease when it comes back, so maybe that'll dilute the smell too.
