I agree that pressure washing is your best bet. $150 for preformed carpet isn't bad if yours is pretty messed up :dunno Better than the hundred of dollars I've spent on carpet 'kits' in the past. I hate spray glue...

I'm a fan of house hold cleaners. Pretty sure baking soda is really good for a lot of things. I'd trust the Old Man on that.

Local parts store has a new super duper odor killer product the name of it escapes me at the moment.

It's a small tub of dry chemical that you open then set in the un occupied car with the windows rolled up for a few hours after which you air out the car.

Might be worth a try.
check the ingredients of the parts store 'super duper odor killer.---Then check the ingredients of the orange box of baking powder you get in the food store..............I just wonder if the active ingredients is nearly the same??
Done.

The ingredient is chlorine dioxide.

The product is called "Room Shocker" from Biocide systems. It is touted as environmentally friendly.

There is no Chloride Dioxide in Baking soda at the super market....
It's used for Pool Chlorine in some of the pool tablets...

If you are looking at Baking soda... Sodium Bicarbonate....
It works because some of the "Stink" chemicals happen at an Acid pH.... so you hit them with a Base and the stink goes away.....
Just so happens that Sodium Bicarbonate is pretty safe stuff..... and it's a SOLID.. so you aren't sloshing liquids all over your stuff....

Turns out that in many instances that Baking soda works to reduce stink - so does Lye.... but Lye is particularly bad stuff in many other ways....
