Actually, I think he died in my car.
All the remedies I was rabbiting on about to DC when the dog threw up in hers have failed. :( Serves me right for being a smug so and so.
All we can think is that some 'milky water' from a full bottle of milk must have leaked on to the carpet in the front and MAN is it ripe.
Have whipped out the carpet cleaner (3x) no joy.
Emptied a Febreeze bottle on it. No joy.
Have just poured Baking Soda over the lot in the hope it will absorb the smell and it will vacuum out tonight.
Are my only options:
1. Professional cleaning company - and if so, who?
2. Replace the carpet?
Thank you!

Crystal Shine has done a great job with our cars. I would definitely recommend you check them out. And they leave a lovely air freshner in your car (mine smells like bubblegum)!

Do not keep the windows open, I did that and a cat decided to jump in and leave me a present. I sold the car.

I would HIGHLY recommend Sara Auto Care (its in Al Quoz, on the street behind time square mall). They do everything from cleaning to dent removal to total car rebuilding. (they recently did the carpets, ceilings, outside, etc of our car and it looked like a brand new car from the show room... sold it that very night to the first person that looked at it.) The manager;s name is Glen. I'd pop by in your car and let him have a 'smell' of it and i think he would be honest with you about whether or not they could help you. We found him to be very genuine. Their services wasn't super cheap but reasonable as compared to everywhere else that we checked. ETA: don't remember their number offhand, but if you google them they have a website with contact details and a map, etc edited by jeniawwad on 08/03/2011 <em>edited by jeniawwad on 08/03/2011</em>

Pew! This happened to someone I know and her car never recovered. Sorry - completely unhelpful and just...information sharing! :( After trying all of the things you mentioned, she ended up just putting a really smelly vanilla thing in there to overpower the "pew"! (ETA the first time I asked an Emirati friend if she knew Pepe Le Pew, she asked, "Is that the animal that walks around f*rting?) <em>edited by CanadianInDXB on 08/03/2011</em>
