[Rhodes22-list] Question - Fish Smell

[Jim Connolly]

Two weeks back, my 4 year old threw up all over the back seat and car seat.
I picked up chunks with paper towel, followed by wet vac.  I followed up
with rented upholstery cleaner, and finished by soaking with Febreze, re-did
upholstery cleaner after Febreze dried, then more Febreze and let dry.  It
worked well.  If the odor is in the liner or any fabric or porous sound
insulation in the trunk area, I'd try Febreze.  They also have a version
that kills odors in air, maybe try that up front.

What about citric acid for the metal/plastic.  Up here we have stuff called
Glisten that cleans scale off washers and dishwashers.  I have heard that a
paste of unsweetened Kool-Ade or lemonade powder also works.  Lemon is
supposed to remove fish odor from hands, try it on your trunk.

Good Luck

Brad,
Try the oldest method in the book, bleach. Even though you removed the
liner, it seems that you have not found the exact location of the soiled
water.  
Keep looking. Most trunks have a weep hole to allow water to escape. This
water could come out the bottom of the trunk and literally cover the entire
underside  of your vehicle. Try a car wash.
