Its amazing I don\'t flip out and kill someone...

So my car is sitting in my driveway, just chillin. I parked it with the windows down because I was only stopping at my house for maybe 15-20 mins. I come out side and some POS pours a gallon of [censored] milk all over the interior of my car. Thankfully, Mother Nature decided to make it sunny and 95 degrees here to bake this milk into my interior.

My car literally smells like someone vomited in my car and then died. No joke. First thing I did was soak up as much of the excess milk as I could with paper towels. Then jetted over to the grocery store and picked up some Lysol disinfectant. I soak the car in this stuff hoping to kill every living thing inside that milk. Car still smells like ass. Then I rented a steamer to steam this [censored] out. Didn't do a thing. Am I going to have to gut my interior now since the smell won't go away?? Will insurance pick this up for vandalism??

Man that blows. Sorry to hear that. I don't know why people can't respect other peoples property.
As for the insurance company. Since you left your windows down they might not cover anyting.

Damn, the jackass that did that needs an ass kicking real bad!
My daughter dropped a full sippy cup and a full cup of milk leaked out, in the wife's old car 2 days before vacation. The wife didn't know of the spill till the next day, she told me when I got in from work. I hit it with a shop vac, mixed some tide(without bleach) and water, used that and a scrub brush and scrubbed the stuff out of it, hit it with the vac again, sprayed febresse on it heavy and let it sit with doors and windows for 12 hours. After that got in it drove for 350 miles with the windows up, and no real smell other than a hint of cleaning products.
Hope this helps some, good luck!

You'll probably have to do what I did to my Escort when it got infested with ants.

Gut the interior, hose off all the carpet panels and vaccuum them, do something similar with the seats.

Except you won't need to set off 3 raid grenades in your car and remove all the door panels and dash, HVAC stuff.

Eggy, I'll get that smell out for the quaife. lmao.

I think your gona have to get it professionally cleaned/detailed if you don't want to mess with it yourself any more.

Like the man says. Then hit it w/ Febreze again.

Dude, that so SUCKS! I can't leave my windows down anymore.

You just wanna hangout in the Stripper Pole room - don't act like you wanna help me get rid of carpet that smells like dead people

Re: Its amazing I don\'t flip out and kill someone...

Personally, I'd just remove the seats and carpet from the car and shampoo the hell out of them.

It'd bother me just knowing that there MIGHT be a little bit left.

It's a royal pain, but it would be worth it were it myself.

I personally think I would rent a steam vac plus the solution. Have hot water ready at all times. Go buy a couple of cans of Tuff Stuff. Go to Bath and Body Works and buy a bottle of yur favorite scent and mix some of it in with the Steam Vac solution and hot water ( I personally use Citrus Basil mmmmmmmmm

) and get down. My friend had a candle melt all over his back seat in his 95 Camaro Z28 and the steam vac actually LIFTED all the wax out the seats. Other than that it might be better to spend some cash and have it professionally cleaned.

BTW do you have leater or cloth seats? Can't you take off the covers for the clother seats and get down to the foam?
 
Re: Its amazing I don\'t flip out and kill someone...

Damm that sucks! My kid spilled choc. milk and the next day it smelled like a puke bomb went off. The only thing that worked, was to take the whole seat out and wash it and let it air dry for a few days. Good luck
 
Re: Its amazing I don\'t flip out and kill someone...

why not a carpet cleaner? when stuff gets spilled in my car, I use the small attachment to one of the industrial carpet cleaners. try that

Re: Its amazing I don\'t flip out and kill someone...

That F****** is horrible, report it to the insurance company cough up the 500 for the deductable and get yourself a nice new interior, because if you take it to a detailer that mess will cost you a fortune. I hope you find the Bastard that did it, then you can return the favor.

I gutted the interior, steamed everything and then soaked it in Resolve carpet cleaner - no more problem, but man was it a [censored] bitch to do. Sucks losing that new car smell
