    Go to the pet shop and get a bottle of pet odour eliminator for carpets etc- make sure you get one that says the word ENZYMES on it. They will break down the stinky proteins/bacteria into harmless substances.

    I'd sell the car. Long after the smell has gone you will still imagine that you can smell it. Or it might be like cat pee and the smell will come back in humid weather

    Glen 20? If I can get napthalene smell out with it, is give it a go on your car seat even if you give it a few sprays over time.

    if all else fails before you sell the car (my nan had to sell her car when i threw up in it as a child) maybe get an auto upholsterer to completely strip the seat and rebuild it?

    I've actually wondered if I can just buy a whole new seat (passenger) - that's how much it's bugging me.

    That's what I'm worried about - that I'll smell it even if it's not there

    Marydean I have some of the pet stuff here, says it uses bio-enzymatic technology so here's hoping thanks for the tip

    Lissy we tried Glen 20 but I can still smell it - although only on that first day. Will keep it in mind cheers

    Reminds me of the Seinfeld BO episode! Hope the other suggestions help your stink!

    depending on your car, seats are usually pretty easy to find

    You could also try a thick layer of bicarb over the area. Had had milk accidents in the car before and bicarb fixed that awful off milk smell.
