    Lots of good tips here, I particularly like the tip for spraying vent cleaner into the the vents and running the A/C. I bought an old SUV from someone who loved to eat (and spill food) in it and their dog was a regular passenger. It took a lot of work to get it clean, I found dried cola and food in just about every crevice.

    Plus, small tip: cleaning the seatbelt is also what will fix your belt when it's not rolling back up anymore. It is not because it became stiff, because of the dirt. Hot water and cleaning will fix that.

    resolve high traffic carpet spray foam works amazingly in cars. scrub in it on the carpets, just let it sit on the upholstery. vacuum it up and the odors will be completely removed.

    I buy ground french vanilla coffee. Out it all over, under the inside of vehicle material. I've let it set for 2 days at times. I Then vacuum it which smells great! Vanilla goes through plastics. 😎 Coffee grounds both absorb & replace odors. Leaving a nice coffee/vanilla scent. 👍 Try it.

    How to clean a child-seat. Awesome- can't tell you how much I was looking forward to this one. Give it a year or two and we'll get "How to remove chocolate-smears" and two or three years down the line the "How to remove grass stains from football-practise" ;)
    And no, I am not sarcastic- I honestly am stoked for all three vids :)
    I've learned so much through Larrys advice and when he learns new things (no matter if they are residue control or child seat-cleaning), he shares them so we can learn.
    Didn't use Shag on my seats till now or Mousse on plastic- will have to give that shot.

    Many smelly problems in vehicles come down to mold or mildew growth somewhere within the car. During summer, when we rely on air-condition to help us survive the scorching heat, our cars are susceptible to growing molds. We usually have our windows closed during summer to have the cold air from the air-conditioner to circulate. That alone will make the mold thrive and survive inside our cars.

    If baking soda does not work what kind of product would you advice for that?

    Last summer my friend spilled about 2 cups worth of milk on my backseat. We were heading to work and I had no choice but to let it sit for almost 10 hours.
    When I got home later that day I just unbolted the seat and saturated center seatbelt buckle. I did not have the proper tools or chemicals to tackle this problem and I needed the car for work the following day.
    Here it is 5 months later. The backseat has been aired out for all this time but I don’t have a clue as to what I should do to make the seat safe to put back in the car.
    It’s a bench style seat. A giant block of foam wrapped in black cloth. I know hiding underneath the cloth is some nasty looking foam. 😔

    Do you have any suggestions for an alternative to AMMO Shag? I bought some earlier this summer and it worked great but right now tuition bills are my priority so I'm looking for a relatively cheap option
