baking soda is your friend. pour it all over the place and leave it in the carpets and seats (dry) for a day or two and then vacuum. if you still have the smell after that carpet spray should get rid of the rest.My wife and I are having a lovely beach weekend for our anniversary. She's been indulging my desire to do Jeep stuff, so we have been using our sand permit.
Yesterday, we drove down to the historic lighthouse...
And we cruised on the beach (in the sections that aren't closed off for nesting shore birds).
But then, right when we came over a big dune and started dropping down to the last section of beach we hadn't explored,
I looked off to my left, and what did I see?
There was a dead whale washed up on the beach below. And this is where I made a terrible mistake. Of course, my wife and I wanted to get a picture of it. So of course we drove as close to it as we could. And of course we rolled down the passenger window to take some pictures.
Thirty feet away and directly downwind from 40 tons of rotten whalemeat.
We didn't get, like, chunks of meat in the truck, or even visible drops of seawater, but I guess that rotten whale oil was in the salt spray, because driving back into town, it smelled so bad I could taste it. We have a two hour drive home today, and despite the 45 degree weather, I might insist we keep the windows down.
I'm worried that this (powerful) stank is going to linger. Any cleaning tips?
