Spilled milkshake - need new car smell again

JohnTrang · 10-29-2015, 12:31 AM

On my 4 month anniversary, TWO milkshakes popped out and went all over the passenger seat!
After 1 1/2 hours of cleaning, my seat smells like pumpkin spice.
I want my new car smell back

Check out Stay Fresh Fabric Cleaner bud. Removes odor also.

Awe noooo...

I usually use resolve fabric/carpet cleaner. You could then spray a deodorizer after the resolve dries.

I've heard of a product called AutoVaccine but I'm not sure how well it works. May be worth a shot!

I actually spilled orange soda in the exact same area of the seat a few months back. I used turtle wax interior cleaner and stain remover although it didn't stain because my seats are black. It's basically a can of foam that you can get at Walmart. Cleaned it and vacuumed it out as much as I could. Parked in the sun and the seat was dry within 24 hours. GL.

Ugh... unfortunately from the pictures, some of the cloth is blocked by the seat rails. But personally I'd recommend renting a Rug Doctor cleaner with the upholstery attachment. That'll really deep clean the seats and what floor cloth you can get to, at least. Then, you can go ahead and clean out the rest of the Z's carpeting as well. Better yet, you can keep the rental around to clean out the carpet around the house too, and watch in awe the sheer amount of dirt you remove

Make sure to also buy some of the cleaning solution - it'll really help with the cleaning and provide a nice scent that isn't too "chemical."

If you have a professional detailed in your area you may want to have the interior gone over with a hot water extractor. For a DIY job I would recommend removing the seat, scrubbing and "extracting" with a Shop-Vac, then maybe use some Chemical Guys or Meguiar's odor eliminator products on the carpets and seats.
