'elp me neutralize nasty 'niffs

[Skii]

Hi peeps

Now that my Leon is no longer leaking like Das Boot, I was wondering how you fellow bilge rats went about getting that horrible stench of wet socks out of the car ?

Assuming the car is bone dry from now on, will the smell eventually disappear or do you peeps have a good solution to reduce the pong ?

borrow a wet n dry vacuum and just make sure all water is sucked out.

use something like neutradol carpet odour destroyer..
may take a couple of goes. but does wonders..

I had a similar problem in a courtesy car i had where the stench was awful. Short term solution - they sell potent air fresheners which really mask smells for a few weeks. Then that gives you a bit of time to do as what mick says.

Thanks chaps - looks like Argos has some carpet washers for about £50, might as well invest in one eh ?

thanks again

wickes do a wet n dry vac for about £40 i think.. unless they have put it up.

they work well as i use one at work....i'm a plumber so i know...
its just they are a abit loud...

they are a very handy item to have...multiple uses.

Leave vinegar in overnight. This works wonders.
