So any suggestions on how to get rid of puke smell? It happened Sat Night, all over carpet and seat, I've cleaned it as best as I can with disinfectant. I've also driven To Birmingham and back ( from London ) with the back windows wide open but it still pongs so I cant work untill it clears

I had some weird potion giving to me many years ago in a small pot, and it works a treat.

Haven't a clue what it's called, but neutralises any smell known to man and beast. \:D/

Cheers, just been over it again with disinfectant, will try Bi Carbonate of soda now otherwise its just lots of air freshners and hope for the best. I think it's improving but it might just be I have got used to it.

I'm sure I read something about using a vinegar/water solution - I've never tried it myself, but perhaps the vinegar neutralises the puke smell.

When we had this in our limo, as well as using the Bicarb which was great, we also took the seat out and cut a small hole underneath, and placed a dissolvable air freshner in to this hole and put the seat back, it worked a treat, hope this helps :wink:

head straight for the nearest garage and vac it quick! then bi-carb it. or get some cheap seat covers that you can sling when it happens.

Update.

I've had a valet and it seems to have done the trick.

Thanks for all advice.
