Essential.
It rained in my jeep with the top off and now it smells like dirty gym locker. Besides those dumb ac vent clips and everyone’s favorite “little tree” air fresheners, does anyone have any suggestions??

Pull the seats and carpet out so they can dry and air out. Build a garage to keep your topless JEEP in.
Got a garage there cowboy. And all my stuff is dry, also my problem isn’t that it rained in it. It’s that I am just upset with the smell.

be careful, sometimes that persistent smell is a sign of some mold growing somewhere. Especially true in a hot/humid summer environment.

with carpets, they can feel dry to touch but be wet underneeth. Water travels to crazy places so make sure its dry even where you think there is no way water could have got there....underside of seat cushions for example.

air fresheners wont work well.....you want more febreeze type stuff with odor neutralizers.

Man thank you! Finally the first real good answer. Thank you again sir. I will rip apart some stuff. This is not the first time it’s been wet/rained in.

At least I know what beer smells like!

I had a vehicle detailed in and out once. It wasn't a Jeep. The dumbasses soaked the whole interior. It took forever to dry out and never did smell right after that.
Maybe it was just the company I hired. But after that, interior cleaning was all me on whatever I owned.

I carry a can of Lysol crisp linen under the back seat and spray my floor mats the slush ones all the time. Usually I spray and just wipe them down spray again leave them wet with Lysol and shut the door. Sometimes I spray the carpet and turn the A/C on with the truck running for a while. I do the remote start when I leave the truck running because no one can drive it. I would try some damp rid if there is moisture.
