    to Sams that is. Why you ask? Because as I was rushing to get stuff in the truck, I failed to see the laundry detergent had tipped and the cap came off.

    Get home to find my passenger back seat and floor covered in detergent. Spend the next hour trying to get as much up as possible by wiping, squeezing and vacuuming. Cleaned the leather with cleaner/conditioner and hoped for the best!

    Spend the next two days trying to dry out the inside by cracking the windows and letting the 113 deg air circulate through.

    Lesson learned: Never rush putting groceries in the truck!

    That sucks, but it could of been a lot of other things that spilled that would be much worse. Stuff like that always goes on the floor for me, and if it leaks, weathertechs catch it.
