Uh huh ... you could clean the carpet ... I mean really clean the carpet. This is how you get smells and stains from things -- you clean them.

LOL .... why didn't I think of that but I was hoping for something a bit more original. I have use baking soda, carpet cleaner, pet stain remover, etc...

Who works at a brewery and has some ideas about counteracting the odor of brew?

Kitty litter? It absorbs everything, but then you'll smell liek a litterbox instead of a brewery.

I've used simple green in all my cars when detailing. Don't be afraid to get the carpet sopping wet. Then use a shop vac to suck up the water and soap. Run the car with heat on full and windows down to finish the drying process. You could also pull the interior out and do a full detail on everything.

Pay no attention to those guys. I had some really nasstty sweaty musky skanky stink in my carpet from who knows where. I tried soaking, Resolve, baking soda, vinegar, 409 - everything except detergent since that is so hard to get out of the carpeting and padding. Everything I tried, the horrible stink was still there.

I spotted a box of Oxy-Clean in my closet that I bought like 2 years ago after seeing the info-mercial. I mixed a batch of the general purpose cleaning formula and used about 8 oz. of it. Guess what, it works..!

Cut up a bag of lemons and put them in a basket and let it sit in your car with the windows shut for 2-3 days. It will absorb all of the bad odors. I heard charcoal briquets will do the same thing too, unconfirmed though. Talked to a guy that detailed out all the used cars at a car lot and he told me thats how he does all of the used cars.

yeah, the charcoal thing works. You can go to the local department store and buy a box of fine little pieces. Thats why hunters are using the new expensive camo with the charcoal liner, because it absorbs their sent.
Just put the charcoal in a pan and let is set for a day or 2.
