As I stated, the a/c system seems to be infiltrated with this odor. Is there something that can be done to clean out the a/c?
Until you git the odor out of the vehicle sweetheart, you just gonna keep on fillin that a/c system back up with the funny smells. I think you you should see if maybe you has a cabin air filter in there. That might be the thing holdin all those nasty ol fumes.
I understood what you said, but I was trying to help you with the root of the problem first. You didn't say what you used totally. I Was just trying to help.
Thank-you for your advise. I'm sorry I wasn't clearer. I have used vinegar and water, but not to that extent. The spill happened in the rear area, where I removed the entire carpet. I then brought it for detailing and carpet and upholstery shampooing. I have used a couple of products, such as ZORBX and Fornula 88, along with charcoal and baking soda. I have a Gonzo Odor Eliminator in the vehicle, now. I supposed I should check and see if there's a filter for the air conditioner that would hold that smell. Is there any way to put something into the air conditioner, itself, that would freshen the air? It definitely seems worse when the air conditioner is on. I really don't want to get a new vehicle, but I'm sick every time I go in it :?
The area that you are refering to is essentially the ductwork of the a/c and heating system. The cabin air filter is probably holding the majority of the smell as Clea mentioned.
