Someone else suggested charcoal. I have the perfect solution. It is a product called FRIDGE IT odor absorbers. It is a littler purple cube with an incredible activated carbon filter inside that is really, really, great. It works so much better than baking soda and all those sprays and fragrances that just cover up smells and doesn't get rid of them. The carbon literally absorbs and eliminates the odors and works for a long time. I use this product everywhere including car, storage, closets, my fridge and also under sinks, near trash and have friends that use it on cat litter box and also diaper pails - it's that good. I really recommend it. You can buy it in kitchen gadget sections in stores like walmart and linens and things. I also think camping world sells it. Definitely worth trying.

Febreeze, heard of putting a bag of charcoal in the car to soak up a musky smell, have use perk. coffee grounds to get rid of fish smell...actually worked great, just sprinkle the coffee over the carpet (not rub it in and not if carpet is damp) let it sit for a while and vacuum it up.It's an old trick to get the smell out of trailers that were used to haul fish.

Take it to a detail shop and ask them to shapoo the carpet. Once that is done a good way to keep the interior smelling sweeter than your perfume is to suff bounce dryer sheets into the vents on your dash.

Clean it. Vaccuum first.
Clean the carpets with rug cleaner.
Wash the seats with upholstery cleaner or wipe down with a cleaner depending what kind of seats that you have.
Wash the dash board & doors & trim.
Wash the windows & mirrors with window washer & newspaper.
You can sprinkle the carpet with baking soda & vaccuum.
Get a car freshener thingy to hang on your mirror.
Empty ash trays if dirty & wash them with dish soap.
Febreeze is toxic to pets.Even though they have pets in their ads,,they are not representing pets.

It depends what kind of smell it is, but I suggest first spray no vac spray on the carpet then get one of those air freshners to hang on your mirror. Then maybe some apple cinnomon spray.

i've got been advised via a pal that in case you placed some vanilla extract in a dish and go away it on your automobile in one day, that is going to draw out the smell. i've got not tried it myself, yet she says it works wonders! good success!

roll your windows down when you fart. Don't sit in your own stink and let the poop particles settle in your car. Since you have already farted too many times and have not rolled down the windows, you need to try fabreese or Lysol.
