Default Need help!!!

A large coke spilt on my passenger foot area and I cannot get the smell out, I've pulled the "foam" peice that was under it out and dried it but there's one connected to the carpet that will not come off, I've shampooed it and dried it but the smell will not go away!! Anybody know how I can remove the smell without going to a car wash place?

Use Baking Soda!!!! Just put alot all over it, agiatate it, and let it sit over night. Than vacuum it up. That should help you out. Ive done it 3-4 times. My cup holders are storage compartments and I think I can balance sodas, or let them sit on floor between seats while shifting and taking a turn.

That will happen the most right when you are trying to show off... God has a way of punishing us for our ego, haha.

Note to self: Purchase a set of WeatherTech Digital Floor Mats.

My buddy was doing car detailing as a side business and got lucky to find a high end extractor that's perfect for cars at an estate sale. I couldn't justify getting one for myself at the moment, but I have used the upholstery attachment for a carpet steam cleaner in the past with a good amount of success.
