Default Someone spilled coffee

All over my passenger seat, the one with the leather and heated seats.
After trying to dry it out with towels, I sprayed it with Lysol and perfume to try and get rid of the smell... and its still there.
Its like the 4th day and the smell of sweet hazelnuts still haunts me every time I get in the car.

What can I do to get rid of this smell and have it back to the original car smell? will it go away on its own? I now drive with the windows down to try and ventilate but I guess the seat still has some coffee absorbed in it....

I declare your car a total loss.

It could be worse. In college, a buddy of mine had a 1972 Chevelle SS. On a particularly decandent night of heavy drinking, one of his friends blew chunks all over the dash board with a great amount of it finding its way down the defroster bents. Even years later, every time he engaged the heat or the defroster the car smelled like puke.

Count your blessings and follow Onzedge™ Z Owner Rule #142: No beverages besides water in the car...

You violated Z code and you are a Bad Boy. Soap, water, soft bristle brush and a shop vac should do the trick. Repeat as necessary and leave your windows down to air out.

Will this work even after the spill has dried?

Park it under the sun, focus beams on the chair, windows down. It'll take a while so be patient.

Yes, if it is still smelling the baking soda will take in the smell. Hope the acutal look of the spill is gone tho!

i agree with onzedge... although when i was installing my hushmats i found atleast 1 can of pop spilled in the spare wheel well AND another spill on and around the ECU (luckily just the cover plate and not the electronics)

i'd be careful with cleaning products on your seats.. may end up bleaching and or damaging them. check the cleaning products prior to use OR (more expensive) go to a detailer
