Best way to remove odors from you car:

[gogozy]

thanks!! I wish I had read this earlier.. one time I had a issue with a used car owned by smoker. the smoke keep coming back few days after whatever tricks I tried

. the smell come back whenever the heat is on and I sold it after....

the baking soda trick did not work. now thinking about it, maybe I did not clean the car well with the baking soda.
Hydrogen Peroxide is commonly whitener/bleacher in industrial area, high concentration can burn the skin, it's also a carcinogen when laced in the food (so it's ban for food/drug uses..) so make sure pet's don't licks the treated area... it also accelerate rusting(oxidation) watch for area with exposed metal.

The stuff they use to clean up pet accidents works well on protiens like poo, throwup, spoiled milk. It is an enyme cleaner that breaks it down. My dad bought some plants and manure for the garden- needless to say the car wreaked even though the manure was supposed to have no smell, i doused the inside of his car and over night the car smelled clean and fresh.

Tried it in a smoker's car. Worked great, but have to keep the coffee in the car. Once you remove the coffee, the bad smell comes back.
