- Thanks for joining me on the channel, I hope you enjoy & find it useful.
A rather stinky smell began to engulf the van (I'm not exaggerating unfortunately) and just continued to build & build. These are the steps I took to get rid of it permanently (hopefully), as even after a month it’s still not returned. As you’ll see using Baking Soda was a key part of achieving this.
I look forward to your comments & please subscribe.

This is great! Exactly the video I was looking for. I had a forgotten bag of fruit left in the trunk and you can imagine the smell. Will definitely try this. Thank you!
Hi George, glad you've found it useful & hope you've got rid of the smell. If it comes back repeat the process and leave the Baking Soda for as long as you can. Good luck! DIY Dick.
Never put baking soda on a carpet. Use specially made carpet cleaner for this purpose. Never vacuum baking soda unless you have a certified baking soda capable vacuum with a HEPA filter. For a car carpet this is not as important as home carpet, but even with a car carpet it will be difficult to get the baking soda out of the carpet.
I think i won't mind some baking soda over the smell@@earthenscience
@@tew.x1125 the problem is once you put baking soda on a carpet it will mess up any non-baking-soda compatible vacuum u use to vacuum the carpet from then on
I have a dog walking service and a new van with a closed back area, 1 dog I sometimes pickup for a walk is always so extremely excited that she pees a little in the back. I try to wash it off with the fire hose at my garage but in a few months time the smell build up and now it even reached the front area which is a closed area... Going to try baking soda after work today so hopefully it will work. There're no fabrics in the back, just leather, steel and wood. Thanks for this video!
Hope this worked for you. Do try several times with baking soda (even for days if possible!) if you can't get rid of the smell first time. Also to help clean & provide a basic level of protection for the leather take a look at something like Meguiars Leather Cleaner & Conditioner.
Try an ozone generator. That will get rid of the smell for good.
@@diydick434 yeah it worked perfectly 👌🏻 vacuumed it first, then used my steam cleaner to remove more dirt. Finished it off with baking soda, after 2 days vacuumed it and the smell was gone. Thanks
this helped a lot. I couldn't find that soap that you used at my local Walmart so I used Maguire's upholstery cleaner, and I did the other steps the same and the strong smell went away.
Superb 👍
@@diydick434 why wouldn't you say the name if you can take the time out to say superb
It would help to mention the name of the “yellow stuff”. I have been using a liquid spray call Odoban for years. It does not clean as it is not a degreaser however removes odors immediately and used by hospitals to kill bacteria , virus etc. You can spray it on dead rodents and will work extremely well. Great in situations where your home has water damage and wet carpeting. Sold in major department stores with different scents (lavender ,yucaliptis ) .
It prob g101
Where do you get the degreaser? What store
Ok I will try it
Here after a hurricane hopefully this would help
@@bladegoezzzham9971 same lol
My friend spillled a whole frappucino in my car😭 struggling to remove smell will try this thank u
Who else started smelling when he was smelling 😂😂😂
lovely stuff
What was the yellow product you used?
Did you wet the baking soda?
Total asmr
Hello! Great video. Where do you purchase the yellow product that is in the bottle. I have a puppy so you know the story lol. I need some BAD
Hello. Glad you enjoyed the video. So this was a product called Fabric Clean from the Chemical Guys - you should be able to get some from places like Amazon or Car Detailing stores/websites. It's very good without being too aggressive & will definitely help with puppy accidents! Other car interior cleaners or even carpet shampoo could work well too - just make sure whatever you use is suitable for the material you are using it on. Good luck!
@@diydick434 Awsome! Thank you 😊
I appreciate ur work I thumps up
I am about to rip the carpets out of the new used car I bought. What a fail to think malodor is easily fixed
Hi what was product in the yellow that you scrubbed in first?
Hi Carmen. It was Fabric Clean from the Chemical Guys - I find it good for stains (or in this case smells) that are a bit harder to shift, but without it being too aggressive & damaging what you are trying to clean.
DIY Dick thank you! I dropped seafood of all things all over my backseats and I’m having such a hard time getting the smell out I’ve tried everything! Right now it’s sitting in baking soda so let’s hope that does something! I’ll be sure to try this fabric clean next if it doesn’t work!
Leave the Baking Soda for as long as possible... days if you can + put plenty on. If the smell doesn't go fully or comes back repeat... it does work in the end. Fabric Clean & the like used with a scrubbing brush will certainly help though - just don't use too much water & be careful with any delicate fabrics. Good luck!
@@carmenflores1942 did you ever manage to get rid of the smell?
@@zanderesp4295 it got most of it out, I would have friends say they couldn’t smell anything but I would still smell it. Not sure if it was phantom smells or what but I trust that friends noses were better than mine. It works! lol
I get migraines with the smell of any perfume and the new car I got has a smell of perfume can anybody tell me how to get rid of it completely , so it smells like nothing please ?
If it is very, very strong, it could be on purpose as an attempt to hide a bad smell in the car.
Have you bought it from a dealer? if so, keep a close eye to your rights on return if this is the case.
I don´t mean to scare you, just so you are aware of this high posibility. Dealers don´t bother too much when cleaning cars they sell and the ones who do, they would rarely intoxicate the car on a smell.
PLEASE HELP!! I have an AWFUL STALE URINE smell in my front driver's side floor carpet. I have tried pretty much everything. My last resort is gonna try the white vinegar/baking soda combo solution.
Never put baking soda on a carpet. Try a quart of hydrogen peroxide mixed with a teaspoon of dish soap, possibly with a minute amount of baking soda added. Since it is carpet you can try just hydrogen peroxide and soap with no baking soda, or specially crafted baking soda type carpet cleaner to replace the baking soda. Use caution as the hydrogen peroxide may affect the colors of your carpet. Be sure to check and follow the proper safety and chemical precautions when handling and mixing hydrogen peroxide.
I ended up falling asleep watching this
I use it for everything, shoes, carpet, bathroom, anything smells.
The BEST way to remove dog hair is using/wearing a washing up glove, it's like a magnet as you wipe your hand over the carpet!
is baking powder ok?
No
My wife spilled a big pot of crab egg soup in thr car I will try this method
Easy, buy Smell Eze Corpse cleaner, sprinkle, let set. You can use a fork to get down into the fibers I do that with vomit from my pets on my carpets in the house. Let it sit overnight and smell is gone. Hey, if it works for dead bodies it will work for this easily. That was quite a production. I stick my nose down in the carpet and no smell whatsoever.
My niece spilled milk in my car, I cleaned it but it still smells like old cheese in there 😭😭
* I thought about baking soda. I'll try your method tomorrow and hope it helps. *
Hope it went well. This definitely works but could need multiple applications to remove the smell completely.
Did it work?
My mom stank up my new car w rotten meat that leaked thru the bag it was in, the stench was so bad I just put baking soda let’s see how it goes
How did the baking soda go??
@@erik9157 didn’t completely remove the stench I had it there for about a week and eventually vacuumed it out and bought 2 of the gel car fresheners and it got rid of the smell completely
@@jorgeguzman9592 I’m having the same issue. Did the smell ever come back or did the gel freshener kill it ?
@@sergiozavala4136 it’s gone but the area that got wet still smells very light u can only smell if near the water mark
That's the issue I'm having! It smells sooo bad in this 102 degrees we have had today. I have to wait til nighttime to clean it out .. I'm so Ashamed about this
I'm disappointed the cleaning music wasn't the Benny Hill theme.
Clean it using your favourite cleaner. And then use cleaning alcohol. Done.
Extractor would've helped you
His dog is definitely spoiled
