NICE so the other week i took my brother home from school (a 20 minute drive) and all of the sudden he starts crying, i looked and saw that he was sitting in a POOL of ****. i almost started to cry too. we got home and i tryed to soak it all up with towels but it had already seeped into the perf'd leather seats. i dried the top but still knew what dwelled beneath the surface. i poured turtle wax leather cleaner on it out of desperation. now my car smells like pee and i want to shoot my self every time i drive ((((((
should i flush it out with water, take the entire seat out and wash the cushion... HELPP please!!

 

Take the back seat out and have it steamed cleaned ($75.00 around). that sucks though. Nice 1st post

 

Yikes, definitely take the seat out of the car. Try and clean the carpet underneath the seat. Then bring your seat to have to steam cleaned. If it's possible to take the cushion out without damaging the leather, I'd do that and either clean it very well or replace it. Good luck.

 

thank you both very much for the help

 

Do what Jerry Seinfeld did, leave the keys in the car in an area of town where you know the car would be stolen.

don't feel too bad though. I know a guy whose Jeep was broken into by a homeless guy, and he crapped all over the backseat.

 

dats hilarious:bowr oflbowroflbowrofl:

 

Did I miss something? How did the **** get there...did he **** himself? Shocked nobody else asked this. Just curious!

 

I don't think it fell from the sky...

 

That Depends - give him some for his birthday - and get that seat cleaned!
How old is he - jeez.

 

^ +1. if he's old enough, let your bro clean up the mess. unless you made him cry, that is.

 

I'm assuming this is the rear seat. If so, the bottom cushion simply lifts out. I would then suggest pulling back the leather and cutting the necessary "hog rings" to get the entire cover off. I'd then clean the leather and foam backing then hit the real problem, the foam cushion. That's what's causing most of the smell. Once you get all that cleaned, then reinstall the cover. You'll have to buy hog rings and tool used to crimp them, but it's cheap ($15 total). It's the only way to get the smell out.

 

lol yes nice 1st post

 

I must say that's pretty funny, why didn't you have him on a child seat?

 

doesn't cali require a booster? my niece is 5, and she's still in a booster, and she's been potty trained for like four years now... this whole incident doesn't make sense to me, it seems to me that SOMETHING would have to MAKE the kid **** without warning, and if he isn't potty trained, he's probably supposed to be in a booster still...

back on topic, i'd venture to say that most people won't be able to lay the leather back down right after removing the hog rings... i'd take to an upholstery shop for that... otherwise i think you wont get the tension you need and it'll have bubbles/wrinkles... just my 2 cents

 

I'd take it to an upholstery shop first to have them take it apart so you can clean it. Also, be careful when cleaning the leather- the odor is less on the leather and more on the cushion since the leather has a polyurethane sealant as a protectant. Use Lexol to clean and replenish the leather, and a microfier towel- be gentle tho.

If the urine has penetrated into the leather fibers, you may have some problems. Urine is slightly acidic, has inorganic salts and will turn into an ammonia-like smell that comes from the breakdown of the urea if left too long in one spot. If left in the leather fibers too long, urine will slowly break them down, but not enough for you to worry about unless you're keeping the car for 25 years or 1 million miles.

Good Luck
