If anyone has any suggestions beyond my description below, I would greatly appreciate it.
Not having a pick-up, I loaded up some bags of grass clippings and other assorted yard debris into the wife's Discovery to take to the recycling center. One bag had been sitting for a week (not inside the truck!) or so and leaked some very lovely smelling liquid which got on the carpet in the rear compartment near the hinge of the rear door. I've spent the last 24 hours or so trying to soak up what I could, then followed the instructions on a bottle of Resolve carpet cleaner. Additionally I have removed rear door sill piece to get under the carpet to the foam padding. The foam didn't soak much up, and only right along the edge.
The smell is greatly reduced, but still there. I'm very confident that I have gotten rid of as much of the offending liquid as possible (judged by the color of the towels as they have been soaking up the liquid, then Resolve). I'm pleading for any ideas to help end the stench. Any ideas beyond continuing the Resolve treatments? I've got a Fabreeze-like product (the Clorox version), but I'm hesitant to use it because I haven't been happy with it on other applications.
Any help would be great,
Kit
