Wow... And the dealership said as soon as they are done I could get in it and drive away! Think I'll ride with the windows down and a snorkel going up through my sunroof! Thanks for the link!

Yup, a friend of ours has one that he uses for when he flips houses to sell. We just set it in the kitchen for a few hours and when we came back the smell was gone.

I have owned an ozone generator for at least 15 years. We have left it running in our current bungalow basement for 12 years. The only time it gets shut off is for servicing or if it gets lent out for skunk smells, cigarette smells etc. It eliminates the musty basement smells and kills mold in the house in a matter of hours or a couple days in severe cases. It should get rid of the fish smell permanently in a couple hours. The only time it bothers me is if I sleep in the basement in the room next to it.

I just don't know

Good luck to you. I hope it works out!

Well, I put 2 pounds of Folgers med-dark roast in the back floor, parked it in the sun and let it "roast" (haha) for over 48 hours. It's been out since Monday afternoon and now it smells like a coffee factory. My wife's words were " Holy crap Batman, what tha hell". Anyway, I haven't drank any coffee since I've opened the doors. But it does smell better than dead fish. Still waiting on some stuff called So2Pure to come in the mail.

If you don't have any luck with that, give ONA a try. I've used it for several different things and it has worked well so far.

Ya know ... there is something to be said for a good 'ole box of Arm & Hammer baking soda. I would buy 3 or 4 of the "refrigerator boxes" (part of the box is perforated and comes off, but leaves a paper filter over the powder, so that it doesn't go everywhere). Put a couple under the back seat and a couple under the front seats.

About 6 years ago, I made plans to trade my car in for a new one. I was a smoker at the time (I quit like 3 months after I traded for a new car), and I looked into all this because of the nasty smoke smell in my trade-in. I did a very thorough detail to the car and then placed 4 boxes of baking soda around the car and 1 in the trunk, just for good measure (cost me all of $7).

When the day came to head to the dealer and trade it in, they mentioned NOTHING about the smell of cigarettes in the car ... and believe me, it smelled like an off-strip, dive bar in there before I detailed it and did the baking soda. After we started to talk numbers, the manager asked me ... "Did you smoke in your car?" ... I was hoping that my thorough cleaning job and omission of being a smoker would get me out of any lying ... because I am no liar. I asked him ... "why do you ask? ... the car doesn't smell like smoke." He said, "No...but we found a small burn under the driver's seat and we want to make sure it wasn't electrical." I copped to being a smoker and smoking in the car for the last 5 years of ownership. They were dumbfounded and gave me full-price for my trade...no deductions for being a "smoker's trade-in".

I can't say with 100% certainty that this will work on your "stank" ... but it is certainly worth a try. The stuff has worked for me in a variety of other situations as well...some of which involved fish smells in my fridge, kitchen & camp-coolers.

I think for best results, the carpets should be shampooed and slightly damp and then in with the baking soda.

Man I know what you mean about the hot and humid days in LA. We had to move a deepfreezer full of seafood in late July. We were not told it had went out 3 days prior. It had been sitting on their porch for 3 days soaking. As we were loading it on hand trucks, the door flew open and I was on the receiving end. Nothing fell out but all I remember is shutting the door, my nose feeling like I snorted pure battery acid, inhaling a drano bomb, and someone poking my eyeballs out with an icepick. Ive worked in EMS for 15 years. Also worked for FEMA picking up the deceased out of houses after Katrina.

To this day, that door opening on that derp freezer was the worst thing I have ever smelled in my life! But guess what. I didnt puke!

Thanks for the info! I looked up the link and looked for retailers and for some reason the only retailers are people into hydroponics and grow houses! I wonder what they need with odor neutralizer stuff??? Hummmmm... I wonder... LoL!

I tried the baking soda when it first happened. I even opened a box and let it sit on the carpet for a day then vacuumed it up. Let 2 boxes open for a week also. I might try it again since now the odor is coffee!
