    Smile smelly car... Please help

    Anyone know how to make the car smell good?
    I spilt milk in the car... Needless to say it's almost too gross to drive

    I have put bicarbonate soda on the spot and left it for a bit, and then vacuumed....

    But what else can I do to get rid of the awful smell?
    Or is there some sort of air freshener I can make for the car?

    Any ideas ladies?

    I use no vac foam carpet deodoriser for dd's frequent chucks in the car, it will smell like a florist for a while but better than off milk. I get it from woolies.

    I grab a pouch of fabric softner from the supermarket and hide it under a seat and the smell radiates throughout the entire car (station wagon) in no time. And they are quite cheap too. And then you can re-use it when the smell runs out in the washing machine!

    Leesa - that's a good idea, might try that one to freshen up

    M2R - When you tried the bi-carb, did you use vinegar as well?

    You have to clean the spot first with hot soapy water. Otherwise you are just masking the sour milk smell which will create another funky smell in no time.

    Give it a good scrub then use the fabric softener smelly. Good Luck, sour milk is revolting
