    You can rent a wet vac at the grocery store and deep clean. I use the same repellant and I bet that it would reek on a hot day.

    the kids spilled it all in my truck.
    i didn't even attempt to clean it up.

    my seat covers are so stained that i couldn't tell if the eucalyptus made another stain.

    i can tell you that after two days in the summer with the windows down, the smell went away. that stuff is pretty volatile and evaporated quickly.

    It's less Tacoma and more mod
    I use that stuff, it sorta just decomposes on its own anyway, it's got oils in it but the color is light. I'd rent an extractor if you're concerned or just let it fade away on its own.

    I've used Tuff Stuff Multi-Purpose Foam Cleaner on my truck's cloth interior as well as other upholstery around the house, and it's gotten out stains I never thought would come out. Spray it on the stain, let it soak for about 30 seconds, wipe with a damp cloth then a dry one. For particularly tough stains you may have to repeat the process a second time, but I've never had to do it more than twice. It's also been good at neutralizing the odor of whatever spilled. YMMV, but I love the stuff.
