Nasty Smell

[Coddy]

Hi all

 

Last week-end I brought back some defrosted squid and cuttle to mash down for ground bait ready for next year.

 

Problem is the bag leaked a bit of the jucies onto the back carpet in the car!

 

What is the best stuff to clean the carpet and freshen it up with, as the FPO is complaining!!!

I found getting rid of the FPO was the easiest way

I'm gonna regret saying this

FPO???? .......WTF ?

 

That pink carpet spray is good and febreeze will do it

Torch the car - that ain't every going to go!!!

 

 

FPO removal sounds even more expensive!

 

I think you need some anti-bacterial cleaner and hot water (detol or similar), then go down the Fabreeze smell nice route!

 

Unlucky Dave.

If you have no luck with febreeze etc, try this

 

Mix 50/50 vinegar and water, spray onto carpet, work into and wipe clean. The car will smell of vinegar for a few days but once that clear, that should clear the smell too.

 

I had some fish 'water' drip onto carpet from the shetland trip and used this trick to clear the smell.

Jacqui's sister did us a tray of chicken & veg.

She covered it in foil, put newspaper under it and said " be careful it's prety full ".

 

I put it in the rear footwell of my car ( still hot ).

Yes - - - - - - it went everywhere.

Smelled lovely for a couple of days

Then it smelled horrible.

I've scrubbed and washed and scrubbed and washed and scrubbed and washed and scrubbed and washed.

Then I got the carpet up a bit and flushed water through and mopped it out - - - - - about 5 times.

I've got the carpet wedged up in the air to help dry it out at the mo.

It's nearly O.K. but I quite fancy the Vinegar option if it still smells in a week or so

Is your BUM sore from kicking youself Dave ? ? ?

Mine is ! !

The car's only 12 months old too.

 

Oh Well ! ! ! ! !
