it was one of those random showers, wasnt expected

 

I had the same thing acouple of days ago, too.... Weather Channel did not show any showers in the B/CS area, but around 3 pm it hit for 5-10 minutes.... So much for all this technology..

 

So -

How do you get that wet carpet smell out ?

When H-Town had it's Noah's Ark impersonation weather a few weeks back, my damn driver's side t-top leaked & got the carpet wet.


Now, I have that interesting aroma in the car ...

Getting it out of the carpet isn't bad if youget it quick enough. Basically pull the carpet oiut and let it dry and then put it back in with some of that poweder you put on you carpet. The hardpart is getting it out of thick seat foam. I am still trying on my wifes Trooper that I turned into a U-Boat.

 

you would need to extract the water with a water extractor, you can get the smell out with an enzyme eiliminator or mal odor eliminator..... "man i love being a detailer"

 

That sucks man, I imagine if I had T-tops I would always get rained on when they were off or bird would crap on me.

 

my car doesnt have the nice wet carpet smell , maybe it bc ttops r still off, and i havent noticed it , not sure tho, i work w detailing cars tho, maybe ill extract it and shampoo it for the f of it , and the guy up top about takin out the carpet and letting it dry? lol take out the carpet? thats alot of work isnt it

 

haha that would be horrible

 

leaving open jars of vinegar around the house gets the smell of catpiss and animals out

 

lol mmm... dont think i could do that one

 

oh yea, that and wrapping chunks of charcoal up in foil and leaving them around the house is supposed to absorb odors...maybe it'll work for cars as well...

im full of useless bull$hit

 

ha thanks for the help
