Stink solution
by TrixieHere's a tip for Dan the guy with the horrible stink in his car. Mix 1 quart of hydrogen peroxide with 1/4 cup baking soda with a squeeze of dish soap. Use this mixture to clean the smell out of your car. (The peroxide might change the color of anything you put it on.) This mixture will take the skunk smell off a dog so it might work. A paste of baking soda cleans & absorbs smells. Or sprinkle lots of baking soda in there, leave for a while, vacuum up. It's good at absorbing odors. Hope this helps.

Funky Junk in the Trunk
by discdogsI thought this segment was hilarious...not only cuz it was...but cuz this is not the first time I heard of someone taking a powerwash (car wand) to the inside of their vehicle. Join me a few years ago when I worked for a government agency in the hometown of Warren Buffet. I knew the guy, but didn't hear this story until months after it happened. We had field trucks we took out to do river surveying and they would get pretty muddy inside. This guy thought he'd go to the local car wash and powerwash the mud out. He did, but he also ruined all the electonics in the dashboard. This was the same guy who left a candle burning in his house, when as a good boy (man), took his mother to church on sunday and came home to the fire dept at his home. That made the news, the gov't truck interior wash did not. :) 3 wrenches, cuz the bat guano grossed me out.
Favorite Moment: when the guy said he was going to powerwash the inside...2nd fav moment...was his wife's reaction. :P
solution for stinker pickup
by GretchenI hate to tell you, but Fabreze just isn't going to cut it. He needs to go to a pet store and buy a large amount of one of their "pet stink out" cleaners and spray every surface and the upholstry and carpets until they are damp or just follow the directions. He will have to doit several times!! I foster a lot of dogs and cats and I use one that has enzymes and special bacteria to get rid of the smells. Soap and water isn't good enough. Don't use it until after the smell is gone.
Favorite Moment: This guy had rats and bats! Unbelievable!
