So the car i just picked up i didnt notice it until after i bought it, but the passenger foot area carpet smells soooo bad. Like spilled milk or dead baby fetus. I tried automotive oxyclean/ odor stain remover spray. I tried automotive fabreeze odor remover. Nothing worked, its horrid. Is there any place i should try that specials in shampooing the carpet and steam cleanung it, or that are really good for this type of thing? Or another product that works I was recommended delta sonic, but i imagine they probably go through it quick and arent that professional, but i could be wrong. Im debating next year ripping out the interior and installing a new carpet or i guess having it washed lol at that point. Thx ---

Soak it with a water/purple power mix and scrub hard then use a shop vac to pull it out. Then air it out for a few days. If that doesn’t work most detail shops should be able to shampoo and steam vac it out and some have chlorine bombs that usually neutralize any odors. ---

No, I have used several of their other products before and they all work great. If you look around you may find some feedback on this from the detailing boards. ---

Im not certain it works on odors, but Folex carpet cleaner works amazingly well on stains. You can get it at lowes or HD etc. Might be worth a shot for $8 or w/e Dan ---

Im not too worried about the stain, its black carpet, and its under the floor mat. But the smell is like puke. ---

A few years ago a gf puked in the back seat of my car on the night before Thanksgiving. Only cure was vinegar. The car smelled like vinegar for a month but the puke smell never came back. ---

I’ve used some pet stain and oder removers to get a puke smell out after someone puked in an old car of ours. I ended up stripping the interior and cleaning everything and spraying everything. I believe I used vinegar as well in many spots. once the chemical smells went away, it was smell free for 3 years and I believe still is. ---

Ive used the Chemical Guys Stuff with good results. But I also have an extractor ( [http://www.bissell.com/lift-off-upright-carpet-cleaner-94y2](http://www.bissell.com/lift-off-upright-carpet-cleaner-94y2) ) I use this to clean the carpets in the house and then the lift-off part works perfect for auto interiors. Using this shampoo and extractor should get rid of it. I’ve cleaned out some awful-smelling stuff from my wife’s minivan before. ---

you could try just extracting it or extracting white vinegar through it before spending any $. ---
