I'm in the process of flipping a non 914 car. The interior smell is a unique blend of dog, possibly cat urine and wet carpet. It's pretty disgusting.
What process have you guys used to get rid of bad odors in cars? Thanks, Bob |

To get rid of cat urine, take the carpets out of the car. Then liberally spray lots of distilled white vinegar all over them and let them sit outside for a couple of days. Drench the heck out ot the carpets.
White vinegar is cheaper than Nature's Miracle and works a lot better. It kills the enzymes in cat urine that cause the odor. I once had 2 male cats who keep peeing on a persian rug we had in the dining room. Gallons and gallons of Nature's Miracle would not take the smell out, it would only mask it for a short while, but they kept going back and peeing on it. Then I learned about the white vinegar trick and it worked like a charm. After the carpets have been treated this way and have dried out, you can then pressure wash them and rinse thoroughly to clean out the dirt. Then dry them again before re-installing in the car. |
