Title: Interior smell
Post by: Aparoon on April 27, 2010, 11:28:23 pm
I got in my car the other day and it smelt terrible! Couldn't reason why, then noticed the rear passanger mat and carpet is damp and stinks of piss! Think a cat has pee'd in it when I left the doors open when cleaning the other day :fighting: :fighting:

I can't get rid of the smell! Help please ?! :laugh:

Don't buy any liquid airfresheners to keep in the car. The liquid can seep out and cause damage/discolouration to the trim.

.........same here & then place some normal bbq charcoal into a foil takeaway dish & put that in the footwell & that will draw out the left over stink.  :happy2:

If it is cat pee then I suggest a talk with your local vet.

I have read somewhere that you should use washing detergent but they will either confirm that or sell you something.

I will ignore your other interpretation.  :fighting:

Baking soda rubbed into the affected area (if dry) should take out the smell too! see if you can get someone with a defogger to run it through your car, This probably wont shift the smell of pi** thou, but worth a shot.

Autosmart BioBrisk as you need to elimanate the odour not mask it, very handy for puke,piss & animal odours
if you need some give me a shout can get you a 250ml to banish it

The vinegar thing is supposed to work. Bowl of vinegar in the car overnight should draw out the odours once the scrubbing has been done. Have you done the whole carpet aswell as the mats?

Failing that, hunt the cat down and seek revenge

You could try getting the cat to shyte in the other side - that should cure the smell of piss  :chicken:

LOL seriously tho when our beast was a puppy i used some zoflora detergent to mask and neutralise it when she had pee'd when we were out.

Oh no!!

The same thing happened to my friend 3 years ago, and to this day (after many many attempts) the smell still remains.....!

Good luck, I hope that you manage to get it out!!!

It seems to have gone now  :pomppomp:

Although my rear mat is still in the garage and I cannot get the smell out of that, i've been a bit lazy with it to be honest but will give it a good scrub now and try some of the tips you've posted, cheers fellas  :drinking:
