Chipmunk pissed in my Hawk! Clean or replace?
Chipmunk pissed in my Hawk! Clean or replace?
A chipmunk made a home in my firehawk! It got in through the empty tranny bay. Apparently I didn't have it covered good enough so I had to vacuum out acorns and crap pellets. But worst of all that thing pissed in the trunk! I can smell it!
So basically, I might just rip out all the flooring upholstry and get new. Or should I clean it? I'm thinking the trunk padding I should clean and get new rug where the seats are. So I have these questions:
1. What to clean it with?
2. Where to buy new flooring?
Thanx

try scrubbing out the interior first...i would get a bucket of warm water with some laundry detergent, scrub brush, and a shop vac.to suck up the dirty water between scrubs then scrub the hell out of it (dont be afraid to use a bunch of water) i have done this method 1000s of times when we owned our car dealership...or steam cleaners can work too (just not as effectively in my experience)...either way, after some time scrubing let the car air out for a day (warm sunny days are prefered obviously
)

steam clean or go to a shop with an extractor which is like a steam cleaner. have them do the whole car. Pull out the insulation under the carpet. It will reduce some weight and hopefully will help muffle the smell.
