    Hahahaha it is most definitely an option!

    I'll be on the lookout for some half decent ones

    http://www.autoanything.com/seat-covers/65A7145A0A0.aspx

    What about these? Meant for protecting (against spills or dog hair though)

    EDIT:
    Wait, couldn't I just use a towel and it would be as well as seat covers?

    I don't think the dealership can do much for interior odor removal. I bought mine from a Toyota dealer and it was full of cigarette smell they couldn't do anything about it. I took it back and they thought i got new interior lol silly dealerships

    not sure if anyone mentions this product but its call ozium. i use it in my work truck and my personal truck. you could smoke a cigarette and spray it and you wouldn't be able to smell it. its an odor eater and i suggested it to my local morning stop for my drinks for the work day and he has already sold out his first shipment. i prefer the country fresh smell. there are 4 and the only other one I've used is original. i use it in my work truck to get the smell of b.o. and sweat smell out and it works great... i spray it at the end of each day on the ride home and let it circulate threw the vents and in the morning its still smelling fresh... also it took a nasty mildew smell out of the truck when i first got it and the smell was terrible and now its gone.

    I used ozium. Set it off with the truck running and the air on full blast, closed the doors and sat down for a full glass of ice tea. Switched it from full cold to full heat two or three time as it was going off also. That shit is nasty and can mess up your breathing so be careful when you use it.

    That sounds great! So why doesn't everyone just use that?

    What do you mean? What is it..?

    is it harmful to material?

    People keep saying "go off", isn't it just a spray bottle? I guess I'll be buying this and using it every day after work. I hope it doesn't damage the interior.

    If you are looking for daily treatment, i'd use the arm and hammer fridge packs and fabreeze. The ozium would be for if it gets really bothersome.

    Thanks! Worst case scenario: Get hired back next summer

    Best case scenario: Get hired on by a larger, better paying company next summer/other semester.

    Also really hopeful about continuing Saturday work with them next semester. 4 day a week tutoring off campus is not cutting it for me. :/

    Here is a slightly more expensive option:

    Get a P.O.S. "beater" truck to drive to work and tear up. Keep your new one reserved for everything else. :D

    My brother has been working in a paper mill in Virginia for about 30 years, I have never noticed the smell in his vehicle. On the bright side, the employees don't even notice the smell of the plant after a couple of weeks.

    i agree about the ozium its a pretty strong spray... i don't spray it while I'm inside especially after the first time i used it lol. i sprayed it into the vents and the spray was so strong i had a hard time breathing so i got out hacking up a storm. after that i usually start the truck a few minutes before we leave the job site and spray it and put the recirculation with the windows up or when I'm packing my stuff back into my truck i spray it and let it run for the few minutes it takes to get my stuff out... for example today it was really muggy/humid and the truck stinks like sweaty socks and after spraying it and letting it sit for about 10mins during coffee break the smells was gone for the rest of the day.

    I believe you, but I went in for a drug test earlier and was parked for just about half an hour, and when I got back home my family could already smell it faintly. I can only imagine 8 hour work days. Like I said though, I could care less about smelling it, it's just the truck I'm worried about.

    I'll be doing that, I wonder if ozium is sold locally.

    What do they do? And God knows it's time I change that filter
