Re: Bad odour - carpet replacement options?
Several years ago my son bought a van that had been "home" to 3 cocker
spaniels for 10 years <g>. He had pretty good luck with a 5 pound bag
of baking soda. Sprinkled it liberally over the carpet and seats,
brushed it good to get it down in the fibers, let it sit in the Texas
sun for a couple of days, then vacuumed it really well. I also saw a
jug of something in Sam's the other day that is supposed to remove
odors, especially dog and cat smells - but darned if I can remember
the name. Febreze works pretty well around the house, but it didn't
do quite as well after a couple of days in the hot sun with the
windows up. Probably needs a couple of passes.

Re: Bad odour - carpet replacement options?
Our vet turned us on to a product you can get in pet stores called
"Nature's Miracle". It's got bacteria or something in it that gets rid
of ALL animal smell and stains-even **** in the Jeep carpet. Works
great and is about $10 a quart.

I have had absolutely no luck with "Nature's Miracle"... it is expensive
and I just don't think it works YMMV

Re: Bad odour - carpet replacement options?
I have had absolutely no luck with "Nature's Miracle"... it is expensive

works great in laundry if you have mouldy smelling stuff (or kids that
still wet the bed occasionally)
