How do you get the vomit smell out of a car interior?

Question

My dog vomited all over the back seat yesterday after getting into an entire package of butter that was dropped out of the grocery bag while bringing in the groceries.

The dog is fine, the car seat looks fine, but the smell is horrendous. I used carpet cleaner on it yesterday. HELP!!

Answer 1

Pour a whole box of Arm & Hammer baking soda over the seat (use the small box that you can get for $1 or less at the store). Let it sit overnight with the windows all the way up. Vacuum up the next morning & the smell should be gone. If not, repeat once or twice. If that doesn't remove the odor, spend the money & have the car professionally detailed.

Answer 2

Shampoo seats and carpet then to keep odors gone without fragrances and irritants, here's an inexpensive and fragrance free product that is FANTASTIC that I use and know so many other people that use it including in cars !! It is a natural fragrance free carbon product called FRIDGE IT odor absorbers -little purple cube with an incredible activated carbon filter inside that is great and eliminates odors for a long time. It works so much better than all those sprays, gels and fragrances that just cover up smells and doesn't get rid of them. Just place one or two (or three) in car and trunk and forget about it. No spills or chemicals or powder to worry about. Each only costs a couple of dollars. I use this product everywhere including car(smoke and pet smells), storage, closets, my fridge and and have friends that use it on cat litter box and also diaper pails - it's that good and I really recommend it. You can buy it in kitchen gadget sections in stores like linens and things. I also think camping world sells it. I also know you can buy direct easily within just a few days [e-mail]...
Definitely worth trying

Answer 3

Check your local pet store. They may have a specific product. Otherwise you may have to wash it several times with a good cleaner like Oxyclean. You'll have a vague odor for a while so keep your windows open when you can. Good luck.

Answer 4

Some of the Pet stain removers use enzymes to break down the proteins in pet waste. I believe they also neutralize vomit as well. I think one well regarded brand is Natures Miracle.

Answer 5

pass away all doorways open for an hour or so mutually as you take a seat beside (or interior) the motor vehicle analyzing a e book or listening to your i{Pod. no longer project-free to have confidence any motor vehicle could stink of canines after one simple rescue trip

Answer 6

Take it to the car wash to get it detailed. I threw up once in my car and the smell lasted almost a week. Eight years later I trhow up again and my husband took it to the car wash. The smell was gone and my car was spotless....

Answer 7

Clean it with a mixture of Lysol and water. Clean it very well. After it's dried spray it with fabric refresher such as Febreeze. That should work. Good luck. 2D

Answer 8

try washing the area with vinger and water, let it dry and then sprinkle a pet odor on the area or put a open box of baking soda in the car.

Answer 9

Cut several lemons in half and rub them right on the seats if they are fabric. If they are leather try Pledge. But make sure you where your seat belt cause the seats will be slippery!!

Answer 10

Go to a professional car wash and see if they have a shampooer for things such as this. Let them do it for you.
