Help cant get smell out of bed.

Need some help guys..

I helped my brother in law move a freezer out of his old truck which the dumb *** left peper stakes in last summer. He had trade the truck in for a new Peterbuilt so the dealer made him come and get the freezer out. Well the f ing thing had the meet still in it which my friends had a kick *** smell coming from it. Turns out while it was in the bed of my truck some of the juice leaked out and drained through the weep hole and in the back of the truck.. Now my truck smells so bad I dont want to go near it.

So what I need to know is how the hell can clean the truck to get the small out of the bed. I tried using smiple green and a little pine sole which did cut the smell down a lot but it is still there.. I am thinking I need to get under the truck with a power washer and spray the bottom of the bed down. My power washer is broken last night so I am going to my father in laws in a little bit to try that.

So please help a brother out.

I am not a big fan of drive though car washers. I have not been through on ein about 8 years.

I was thinking bleach but was not sure if it would do anything to the paint. Dont really car if the inside of the bed gets messed up since it is getting a liner one of these days if I can find a close Line-X dealer.

Drive it thru a freakin' car wash. It's a truck. I'm pretty sure it won't hurt it.

This one only has 2300 miles on it.. 2 soon to trade it in..

I will give bleach a try tomorrow if nothing then it is off to the car wash.. I think if it would rain really hard and I drove around for a while it would help get in the places I cant with the hose..

bleach will corrode the metal. I've ruined both stainless and galvanized steel in the past with bleach.
I'd suggest you try FL's suggestion and get some baking soda.
