Sea water smell :(
 

Long story short, my mom took my car to steveston and bought some fresh sea urchin and shrimp, the plastic bag was poked open and some weird brown liquid leaked onto my trunk carpet :(

It really stinks and I tried febreeze and doesn't work, covers it temporarily and then next day comes back

Do I have to shampoo it now? :'(

BTW any recommendations on what to do with cracked paint near the bottom of the car? I'm thinking bondo + spray paint and then polish

Aww no one can help me with my stinky carpet? :cry:

is it stained ?
i used folex spot remover for an oil stain on carpet and it took it out.

might have to steam / shampoo it out along with various enzyme treatments

I'll try steaming, I don't think it's stained because it's dark blue so you can't tell, I'll peek at the foam underneath and sea, maybe i'll steam in some febreeze lol

This better not be another "I need help with ______" and in the end, after everyone has given suggestions, you say "Oh, I'll live with it" thread

Shampoo it and lift it up and clean both sides and underneath it well

BUY A NEW CAR! lol

try using some laundry detergent you'll be surprised how well that stuff works .... sometimes

What to use for shampoo? Technique?

use whatever is on the shelf. Steam cleaning is your best bet
