Fabreze will do the trick.

My daughter left a pound of fresh shrimp in her car once - in Texas - in the summer - in 100 degree plus temps. She parked the car at my house and was gone for over for a week. It took the smell out of the car overnight.

If you take a dump on the floor, the smell of puke will be gone.

hehe vacum it and put kilo or more grinded coffe over it and leave it over night or more.

it sucks all the smell out.


I wish I had puked in my car instead of the tonight episode of "me getting busted at 210km/h"

penalty: 2000€ or somewhere near $3000

I forgot a turkey in the back seat and it sat there for a couple - three days. Smelled like a dead body. If it had been there any longer I'm sure I would have had to total the car. I ended up borrowing from a friend who had a janitorial business a device that you plug in and run with the doors closed. Something like an ionizer or onzonator, can't remember. The problem with odor is, if the odor is gone you will still think you smell it for a long time after. Good luck.

Alright, I'll get on it asap.


I think my mind is playing games with me. I can't tell if I'm smelling puke or just flowers from the freshener I put in. I'm gonna hit it again with the Fabreeze and put some ground coffee in there.

Thanks for all the advice everyone.

Well I got the car smelling fine and it's nice and clean inside, but the door handle froze and made a snapping noise when I opened it. Now the door will not close...

Bad luck... deserved but never the less. You never said what your date thought about the smell.

Well, I never got a speeding ticket, and I didn't take the 944 because of the issue with the door. Also the smell is completely gone.
