Im detailing a barn find 59 Corvette, There was a family of mice living in the trunk inside the spare tire. After repeated cleanings with different all purpose cleaners , The odor of mouse urine is still there. Has anyone got a surefire way to remove that smell?

 

Try Odo-Ban. Easiest place to find it is at Home Depot, they sell gallons of concentrate.

 

Thanks, I'll look into that. I just washed out the trunk again this morning with a mix of bleach and water. Ill see how its working once it dries .

 

Simple Green........

 

Been there done that. ( be prepared for immediate venting) After a washing with bleach white, and simple green . Numerous times. Mouse urine is still "Da BOMB" The bleachwater solution seems to have kicked it back a notch. I may be on the approach to being satisfied . Talked to the owner today . let him know what I've done and what my goals are. and let him know that I made a list of things that I could accomplish on this vehicle , That would inctrease its value for imediate resale for the least ammount of out of pocket funds. He's not short of funds. Just a tight wad, or has a short arm . Not a problem. I believe I represent myself well enough. And my work speaks for itself. Just dont want to sell myself short because I'm a nice guy. I want to do more than break even, for being more than a detailer, and car cleaner. I take on each vehicle as if it were mine.

 

Baking soda, douse it on dry and let it set over night-then vac it out.

 

From personal experience. Ground coffee has worked miracles for me!!! Just go buy a cheap bag and sprinkle it in the needed areas. Suck it up with a shop vac and repeat as/if necessary. It has never failed me ever. My grandpa even used it in his brand new mercedes after tipping over a can of gas in the trunk a week after getting it. The coffee completely removed the gas linger and the car smells like new again.

 

Sounds good. I woulnt mind the smell of cofee. I'd rather smell that than any perfumed kind of smell.

 

I did use baking soda too. Thanks
