Zx2guy19 Posted May 2, 2016 Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 Long story short, I got trashed Saturday night at a wedding (I don't drink, so 5-6 drinks and I was gone) and puked all over my wife's car on the way home. Not my finest hour, so when I woke up yesterday, I had to shamefully clean my own vomit from her entire car. It was literally everywhere- the back seat, front seat, center console, carpet, etc. I cleaned the hell out of the car with soap and water, then brought it to a detail place where it was steamed with a 180* steamer. Picked it up last night and we can both still smell a HINT of crab cakes, patron and stomach acid. Any recommendations for getting this smell out? It's a lease, so if we can't get it out I'm just going to trade it in and take the financial hit. Last thing I want is my wife driving around in a puke mobile. HALP.

SRTurbo04 Posted May 2, 2016 Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 I remember my first drink.... Maybe a bunch of air freshners that go in the air vents and just let it air out. Leave the windows open over night and drive with the windows down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leave the windows open over night and drive with the windows down. Lol again, not my proudest moment. I will say I had at least 5-6 rum and cokes after I got buzzed on beer. I ran the Cap City half earlier that day so I was de-hydrated as hell. This is well beyond air fresheners my friend. Well beyond. http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=ozium Have you used this on something similar? I'm cautious about sprays...this stuff is pretty deep in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTQ B4U Posted May 2, 2016 Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 Have you used this on something similar? I'm cautious about sprays...this stuff is pretty deep in there. I'd buy the canister and let that thing sit in the car every night until it's gone. Pretty strong stuff. Fumes will permiate the materials and get it out in a couple days.

Keep the ideas coming! close the windows and leave a kids poopy diaper. Will offset the smell of the puke. I know you said you did the steamer, but have you tried the shampooing of the carpets and seats? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dafunk13 Posted May 2, 2016 Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 I used to manage budget hotels and ozone generators can work some magic. They're pricey, so I'd look to borrow or rent one. I know the one we used for rooms was the size of a shoebox and cost $500+. But a day or so with one running would get out the most nightmarish smells. I'm talking shit that'll give a dude PTSD for decades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skinner Posted May 2, 2016 Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 Scope in a spray bottle and spray the problem areas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spankis Posted May 2, 2016 Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 Short of an ozone machine, shampoo the carpets or at least saturate problem areas with simple green / hot water solution. To do it properly I'd take the seats out. I speak from experience, unfortunately. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain_Panic1647545539 Posted May 2, 2016 Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 Baking soda. Try the scented kind for litter boxes. Let it sit for a while and then vacuum it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zx2guy19 Posted May 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 Fuck...the car smells just as bad as it did before the detail. He did do a shampoo and steam, so I honestly think my only option is that ozone generator. I can't believe this shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cstmg8 Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 I would kill my wife if she did that in my car! You better sleep with one eye open until the smell's gone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zx2guy19 Posted May 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 She's been really cool about it. I've been having some major issues with my rentals so I've been in a shitty mood (the 10k+ lost mood) so she's been cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stretch Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 Baking soda. Try the scented kind for litter boxes. Let it sit for a while and then vacuum it out. This. I've used it for a very similar situation and it worked quite well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zx2guy19 Posted May 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 I ordered an ozone generator. It was $100 on Amazon and if it doesn't work I'll send it back. We shall see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mmrmnhrm Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 Another vote for dusting the whole thing with baking soda and letting it sit overnight, then vacuuming up with a HEPA vac. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airwg2189 Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 Baking soda. Only issue is that you'll need to locate the exact physical spots of the source of the smell (like, where EXACTLY your puke seeped into the seats, etc.). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
