Any suggestions how to get rid of a dog smell, which appears to be emanating
from the boot carpet of my car.

It would appear that the previous owner used to have dogs, and when the car
has been parked for a couple of days without the doors being opened, the
smell builds up in the car.
Any suggestions, other than throwing the carpets away!

Take the carpets out and wash them? Or a good Fabreze session as per the
advert?

Being a keen dogger myself I can confirm that it leaves no smell is the car,
just a residue down the wing that has to be washed off.

Try Febreze, but IME you can't get rid of the smell completely once
it's taken hold.

I've had to sell a car because of that :-/

Get a dog of your own, then *everything* you own will smell of dog, so you
won't notice it in the car?

Find a Janitorial Supplier in your local Yellow Pages who is a Prochem
dealer (almost all are). Get hold of some Prochem Urine Neutraliser. A 1
litre spray bottle will cost you about £5. This stuff is as used by pro
carpet cleaners and it works!

Lend it out to Stan Collymore, and replace it with a dogging smell?

a ride in it (as you do)..... then the words came from the back seat.....

Simple Solution

I have a Range Rover that absolutely stunk of wet dog all the time.
Washing carpets, air fresheners, Fabreze etc. either didn't work or
lasted about a week. I sprayed the Simple Solutions stuff about 4 mths
ago and I haven't had a whiff since. Highly recommended.

I got it from my local pet shop.

Pull the carpets out and rent a Rug Doctor machine from any of your
local Dry Cleaners/Safeways. When you rent the machine they'll offer you
the upholstery attachement. Accept. Buy a gallon of the concentrate.
spend 24 hours over a weekend, 3 hours of that on the carpets and
upholstery in the car, the rest using the cleaner in the house because
you're damned if you're going to pay for a weekend's rental and not
clean the house and all the curtains and anything else that will stay
still long enough.

I promise that you'll use it all. It becomes a bit of a crusade to get
at least one room where the stuff going into the crud bucket on the top
isn't darker than the cleaner going in.

it.....
