Oh, crap. Super crap. This is past euphemism. There's this great dairy down the road from me. I’ve bragged it on-line before. We swill their impossibly rich skim milk sold in real glass bottles (figure of cow, painted on the outside, just like something from an antique shop). And except for Winter, whenever you stop off there for ice-cream or cheese or milk, you always get a happy eyeful of the herd of spotted cows who produced it all as they graze in the very green valley stretching far behind the outlet store. Now THAT’s Pennsylvania! Red barn, hex symbols - the works. . Drove there, got a fresh half gallon bottle of skim at the end of other grocery shopping. And when I went to unload the car, I absently noticed an odd dripping sound in the basement next to the garage. Mildly curious....Brought up the produce, trying (and mostly failing) to hit the high notes of “Summertime”. . .Hmmm. What could it be – some strange cycle to the washer? Shlepped the huge bag of rabbit food our of the truck. And why WAS it so damned loud? Please God no! By the time I located the drip, most of two quarts of milk had emptied from the-not-so-cute-anymore bottle (the lid had a faulty seal) . I grabbed for old towels for floor and seat, but somehow most of the milk has already pooled under the rear seat. A firmly attached rear seat. As with most of you, it’s been really hot and humid. It’s almost up to 80 already. The last time I spilled milk in the car (previous car) , was in the trunk – much more accessible. And even with a pretty good clean-up, you could still smell it on damp days right up until I sold the car eight years after the spill. Now what? Worse still, it’s Sunday and garages are closed. Besides, I have an unbreakable commitment for the whole damned day and evening, before which I HAVE to catch a few hours of sleep. Stupid off-kilter sleep schedule! Is there any chemical I can – well – POUR under the seat to neutralize the bacteria or something…[Bleach?]?? After flooding it with water?…Or will this rust out my car….my soon to be rank, sour and stinking car?? I'm going to sleep. Belatedly. Then I'll check in, hoping someone posted a magic potion. (It’s a ’99 Camry, if it matters. Velour type upholstery. I will have one strong sixteen year old to help me for at most half an hour, I figure.) |

HOLY CARP!!!

Amanda, You car will stink for years. I got my wife a new BMW for Christmas and in March she went to Sam's Club and bought milk and I forgot to take a gallon to the house from the trunk.We found it after it went bad, but it's June and the car still stinks. Worse yet--I own a chemical company and even I don't have anything that can mask the smell. Best of luck. |

Have you tried a solution of hot water, soap and Nilodor? Nilodor will neutalize skunk spray on a dog- it may work in this case too. |
