hopefully i can get more help on this forum.

raspberry ice tea got spilled onto my leather seat. i cleaned it up as quick as i could but i think some seeped through because now their is a lingering odor of raspberry.

anyone got a solution on what to do to get rid of the smell?

 

Seeped through? Sounds like a pretty difficult situation, since it would be in the foam under the leather. First, try using a leather cleaner to throughly clean the leather, and a de-odirizer.

 

deodorizer is what I was thinking too!

ozone generator treatment is a must!, then a full interior cleaning/conditioning!

Thats why you dont eat in your car! Mine just smells from all the detailing supplies I carry! but at least its not food...lol

 

no i wasn't eating in the car .. the tea just came out of the cup holder when i was taking a turn =X good thing the lid on the drink stayed on. what deodorizers do you guys suggest if you have used any?

 

I personally like Ozium. However, if the juice really did seep into the foam, the smell is going to come back. If it didn't, Ozium should take care of it.

 

ozium is pretty good!!!

also you can try leaving coffee filters with baking soda on each of the floor areas front and back and let it sit for a couple of days with a slight stirring of the soda...supposed to take out the smells of cars as well!!!

 

Time to buy a sippy cup.

 

Ozium isn't going to do anything but mask the smell, you have to fight the source of the smell otherwise it will just keep coming back. I suggest trying Chemical Guys Odor Eliminator. It will kill the bacteria that causes the smell. You can order it from the board sponsor at Detailed Image and it's only $10.

You need to get the car steam cleaned. Take it to a detailer and have them do the interior shampoo and steam.

Unless you have a steamer, then wrap a microfiber cloth around the end of it with an elastic band and steam the leather. You can actually buy a clothes steamer for like $50-60 at wal mart or where ever. Just make sure the hose is long enough to get into the car.

 

I love raspberry iced tea!

Look at it this way, there could be worse smells that are trapped in your car.

Good luck getting the smell out.

 

You need something with enzymes - that will eat the bacteria causing the smell. It's the only permanent solution. The chemical guys odour controller is probably one that will. I used odourstroyer by Zep.
