Bad odour - carpet replacement options?
 

I recently picked up a '98 Cherokee Sport (2-door). The previous owner
had a dog, and there's a that distinct "wet dog" odour that we all know
and love.

I haven't tried cleaning it yet, but my experience with this in the past
has been that the odour is basically impossible to remove. I just hope
that the source of the smell isn't present in the headliner or seats...

I was planning on replacing the carpet and possibly the underlay, in the
rear cargo area, and on the back of the rear seat. Does anyone have a
recommendation for an aftermarket carpet kit that fits as well as the
factory carpet? Do these typically come with carpet for the rear surface
of the seat?

Even better would be something like a carpet, but is rubber/vinyl -
easier to clean.

I could always just strip out all the carpet and paint some bedliner on
it, but the noise reduction properties of the carpet and underlay is
pretty important.

Are there any other options that might be worth looking into?

We had a big hairy mutt and found a product called 'Febreze' works
wonders on the odors.
