For organic smells I like the stuff I got down at the pet store "Natures Miracle". It is an enzyme that they claim is safe to use around kids and pets. Stuff is amazing at nuetralizing organic smells. Just dump it on and let it dry. Doesn't do any cleaning but man it sure kills the odors.

I have a Scout ll and it only smells of rust! No carpet or interior left. In the '86 Buick, clean as the day it rolled off the line, no real smell at all.
Ow that smell thats around you! Now the song is stuck in my head for the rest of the day.

I like just air too. Hate most manmade smells but food. Perfumes and stuff give me a headache. Does that baking soda only work when it's still in there or does it somehow kill the odors for good? I've heard of people putting it in their fridge not the truck but who cares if it kills the smell..

If you are feeling really froggy..... Go to some flavor of "Dollar" store, and pick up a bottle of Awesome Carpet Cleaning solution. Pull your seats out, mix a bit of the awesome with water, and scrub your carpets. Use a wet/dry vac to suck out as much water as you can, and then reassemble your interior. (you could probably get away with just pulling the front seats, and folding the back seat up.) Let it air dry the rest of the way.
The stuff lives up to its name. It gets out stains that I though would NEVER come out. Including grease.

Hahahaha! That's great!
That had to of sucked. lol
My smell came from an old ham sandwich under the seat. Was in a plastic bag that ripped when I adjusted my seat. A couple shots of Frebreeze and it smells better. I have also used the carpet cleaner that has the brush built onto the top and that seems to work well too.

Sprinkling it into the carpet, rubbing it in, letting it sit there for a day or so, and then vacuuming it out works good too... (just don't get it wet...... ask me how I know.....)

Hope this doesn't come out wrong but isn't there an arab guy on the bottle? Been a little while since i used awesome.
