Hello,

Apologies for multi-posting, but I realised after posting this to
uk.rec.cars.misc that I'd be likely also to get some knowledgeable answers
in uk.d-i-y.

Recently my car was stuck in a ditch over a weekend and mud got into the
front passenger footwell. Since then, I have cleaned the fitted carpet
using spray-on "Carplan" car upholstery cleaner and also "Rug Doctor"
carpet odour remover, both times scrubbing it into the carpet with a brush.
I have unclipped the casing at the side, bent the carpet up, and cleaned
and dried under it with rag and tissue paper, and I have left a fan heater
on in the car for hours to ensure the footwell is completely dry, including
both the carpet itself and under it. But there's still a pong.

Advice would be gratefully received.


Febreze actually works, if used long enough BUT you should try and wet
shampoo the carpets and get the water out and then run with the heater
full on for a bit.

Thanks in advance!
