So I just bought a new Ef but the car has been sitting for awhile,si its smells very bad the inside of the car had mice litterings and also smelled like cat urine..So i vaccumed it first,After that i didnt have much supplies so i just washed it with dish soap and rinsed it with water then vaccumed it again,But unfortunately it still smells even after i sprayed it with Fresh scent car air frshener,and on a tight budget being that im 15 i dont know how much a new carpet is,any tips?tricks?or how much is new carpet?and where i can get it from?


This is how it turned out its looks ok but still smells..

 

Take baking soda, and pretty much just place it in random spots of the car. Also leave your windows down, and the trunk open to let the car air-out.

If this doesent work, Your going to need to wash your carpet.

 

Alright even though I already washed the carpet,do i just let the baking soda sit there?if so for how long?then vaccum it up or what I never heard of doing that.

 

To save money, I steam cleaned it. You can rent one from any grocery store. Took me about an hour to do it and it looks great; actually almost new. If that doesn't work, take the carpet out and go to a "power wash" car wash and hang the mat up and blast away. The amount of black water that will run off will make you sick. Hope that helps!

 

You can also use regular old oxy-clean and shop vacuum to shampoo and extract the fluid from carpeting.

Oh i just might take it out and take it to a pressure washer just to see what it looks like under there,Thanks alot for the help guys..

 

ye, I'd rather keep my beat up carpet then get a new one, new ones are expensive as hell, correct me if I'm wrong but they can run you $300+\-..

if it were me, I'd take the carpet out, soak it, use some sort of carpet shampoo (or dish soap lol), hand scrub it, then rinse.. don't put it in until you know it smells good. baking soda works well too

 

300?!!!!wow ill just clean mine,Thanks for your help.
