Hi,

Not really a motoring problem But while looking after my nephew today age 1 he decided to be very sick over my back seat, I have taken the seat out and washed it with soapy water and left it to dry, I also washed the seatbelts etc, The bad news is the car still stinks of sick after leaving the windows open for 4 hours, The seat has been out all day is still wet and still stinks ... any suggestionsa that arent going to bleach my upulstry ?

Any help appreciated.

    The miracle cure for spilt milk in the car is to leave a bowl of vinegar in the footwell overnight. So I presume that the 1 year old may have puked milky stuff?

    Sprinkle some biological washing powder down, leave a few mins, rub in with a damp cloth, leave to dry then hoover up.

    The bio breaks up organic enzymes and gets rid of the pong.

    my sympathy, i have had this problem many times and someone suggested putting a peeled onion in the car and leaving it. it seems to absorb the smell.

    yes it does leave a onion smell for a while but that awful sick smell goes.

  • Onions will get rid of the smell but the onion itself stinks,you could try febreze,or do what Lloyd did in ,in his taxi and cover up the smell with a dead skunk:D

    Excellent well i finish work late tonight but asda will still be open (I have washing machien liquid not powder and its non bio) Im going to go for a DIY Febreeze effect some bio powder + Viniger + Hot water in a spray bottle (just need the powder so very money saving). whats the odds on getting pulled driving late at night all windows down and a missing back seat :-)

    Thanks everyone the smeel has gone, I sprinkled BIO powder over my already damp seat and left it over night, swept it off this mornign and the pong has gone, i was lent some interior Dri (Not a spelling mistake thats what it says on the tin) Clean for car interiors this did the seat belt a treat.

    Thanks for everyones suggestions.
