This. It's not that expensive.Replace carpet.
That's what I was gonna say, but not if it a Hella, the most awesome color ever.
Those freshener bombs do work, but I would leave it as a last resort and make really sure you are Ok with the fragrance first. I used one in our old van and you can still smell it six months later. Better than what was there before though!Not sure if it will work because haven’t needed to try one personally, but I’ve seen Meguiar’s and other companies make those air freshener bombs that you just open the can and let it spray in the car while all the doors are shut. A buddy of mine used it to get vomit smell out of his car lol. May be worth a shot if you get it all cleaned up before buying an ozone machine.
Definitely don't breath ozone. Ozone is not great for rubber or plastic either.Just an FYI, ozone isn’t great for you. Make sure you ventilate the space after running the machine. Also, I believe I’ve seen something similar with a cookie sheet full of activated carbon to help neutralize odors. No idea if it would help in this situation but it may be an avenue for you to research.
Also, don’t underestimate the power of ventilation and UV light. Might take the top off and park in the sun for a few days.
Again, good luck.
This.ugh, it still smells. going to need to find an ozone generator to see if that helps. i don't think there is anything left in there that was actually touched but the cloth seats and cloth roof may have absorbed the smell.
Only 2 days? I put leftover shrimp boil in the rear floor of my TJ and it fermented for 3 weeks before I figured out where the smell was coming from. It's not my daily driver. Luckiky, it was in a Styrofoam clamshell; unfortunately, the maggots had crawled all over the rear Floorplan. Shop vac got them all and foaming carpet cleaner fixed the stank.Yeah, I bought a pack of frozen salmon from Costco and somehow it got overlooked while emptying the back. It defrosted and some liquid got on the carpet in the back on the right side. I've been trying to soak it up with baking soda, but I'm worried that it may have dripped under the carpet. Can I remove that carpet piece in the back of the 2019 JL Unlimited that goes along the side over the right wheel well? I'm afraid to remove it and find that it is a nightmare to put back. Is it just tucked in or is it attached somehow?
Oh and yes... it smells as bad as it sounds. I left all of my windows open last night hoping to air it out a bit.
