Old Taco Stink Cure

anyone have recommendations proven to remove old truck interior stink?

 

ozonator works pretty good.

 

This and ripping ass less frequently helps too

 

If I can't fart in my truck I don't wanna live anymore. If you can't handle the smell get a Prius.

 

I’m sure that’s in the Blacksburg city motto somewhere. I fart in my tesla, not my truck; how dare you?

 

Dryer sheets. Put a couple on the cabin air filter.

 

...assuming this truck is not a 1st Gen.

 

Clean the carpets and seats with a carpet solution followed by a steam/extractor. Clean out the cabin filter and put some dryer sheets in there.

Also, check your windshield and window seals, you might have a leak.

If you have carpet floor mats replace them - as they tend to hold a lot of the smell.

Also - headliner - when was the last time you vacuumed or cleaned THAT? Include it with the steam clean.

A diluted multipurpose cleaner should be applied to all of your plastic and vinyl.

For stubborn smells pull up the trim around your center console and along the sides of your carpet near the rockers. I’ll bet you’ll Be disgusted at the accumulated nastiness that you find there.

 

What's it smell like? I successfully got chain smoker smell 100% out of my Taco but it took some work.

 

Baking soda/vacuume, steam clean, fabreeze, through scrub down of everything not cloth. If it’s cig smoke a lot of it will be in the head liner.

 

This stuff, it breaks down biological matter. Sorta gruesome, but I've read that people who work in murder scene/death clean up crews use this to eliminate the smell of death. Yeah, I know... unsettling. I've used it after mice got into my truck shell and there was this smell that wouldn't go away even after removing any fabric/carpet material. But after using this for two days the smell is completely gone. Just googled it and found it on this site for way cheaper than I bought it. I payed $6 on Amazon and it is on sale here for less than $2. https://www.chewy.com/biokleen-bac-...MI0vuF7pmW5wIVkfhkCh2iSg97EAQYAyABEgIZTvD_BwE

Excellence! Thanks to all for the quick responses!!!

 

thank you. Just ordered one!

 

I wonder if I’m the only weirdo who does this. Get to where I’m going, fart, quickly jump out and close the door and go shopping or whatever, then return to see if the fart quality was good enough to still be there.

 

Is your strategy to lift your ass so it goes right into the air and lingers, or do you inject it directly into the seat foam in hopes that upon your return you squeeze it out like water stored in a sponge? Two very different schools of philosophy on the issue, I'd love your expert opinion.

 

If you can get by without driving for a couple days, put a saucer of vanilla extract on the floor. Took the smell out of my father`s car years ago after he hit a skunk.

 

Absolutely learned early on, seat injection is key. For me, clams seems to greatly increase the quality of putridness. For increased volume (a 15 second fart is enough to fill a one gallon jug), sunflower seeds works for me. I believe my greatest achievement was a silent deadly, a picture of me on the cover of my company news letter, and a bunch of foreign executives fast walking away. The best part is I was the only one who got the joke.

 

This...this is the quality content I signed up for
