Question I need something that works great for cleaning the a bad smell out of my truck carpet

Before i got my truck from a private seller, i think a cat, or a dam coon was in the cab an pissed inside the cab, so it smells like urine bad. Do you no any cleaning solvents i can use to scrub the floor to eliminate the smell? If no answers then im just gonna rent a steam cleaner from ACE hardware.

Steam it with liquid airfreshener in the water and then spray some of this stuff.

If it's really bad, consider removing the carpet all together and then hanging it over a fence and pressure washing it. It will do wonders. Then hit it with a cleaner and a smell good.

Once you do that, then you can just hit it with some freebreeze every few months or so to cut down on that earthy smell that I no doubt you'll have being on a dairy farm. (Beef Farmer here)

yeah, definately pressure wash it.....not too bad of a job to get it out. that way you can also wipe down the cab floor also and check for any rust starting

I've had the same problem in the past and found it wasn't the carpet itself, but the padding underneath that trapped the moisture and odors. You might want to check that out, otherwise you are just adding another smell to one that won't go away anytime soon.

Go to a pet store and get some Natures Miracle. White bottle with red lettering. It has enzymes that will break down the urine. Find the spot and dump it straight on there. Soak it. Then let it air dry.

Bissel also makes a pet stain remover for steam Gvacs you can get most anywhere as well.
