Hi guys,

The previous owner of my car obviously had dog/dogs in the boot with no covers or liner.

Subsequently the whole car stinks of dogs.

I never noticed it when I bought the car as the dealer put a plastic liner in and when the liner is in the boot it does not smell.

I had it in the local hand wash yesterday for a boot carpet shampoo and it smelled good yesterday but today the smell is back.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I have a dog and never have it in the car without being in a dog bag - I know how bad it can be from buying previous cars with your problem

Got dealers to sort it in past but if you bought private try this http://www.essortment.com/household-cleani...46324.html  Wanted a Series 2 LR since childhood but previously owned MY16 Disco Sport HSE TD4 Auto, MY13 RR Sport Black Edition TDV6 Auto, MY10 RR Sport HSE TDV6 Auto, 2007 Freelander 1 Freestyle TD4 Soft Top, 2009 Freelander 2 GS TD4 Auto, 2007 Freelander 2 GS TD4, 2004 Disco 2 Metropolis Auto, 2002 Disco 2 GS, 2000 Freelander 1 SE TD4 SW

A dakota odour bomb should do the trick

You might try sponging the carpet with a 10pc bleach and hottish water, If it brings up the muck, it's working! I have had 2 usually mucky springers in many vehicles and it certainly helps. But the odour bomb looks interesting!

Buy a dog

Never put the wife in the car so don't have this problem

Try an Autosmart product called "Bio Brisk" Used in conjunction with a deep cleaner (I have a Karcher Puzi 100) this wiil do the job as well as its going to get !
Bio Brisk is designed to remove animal smells and smells of stuff like spilt milk and Errrrrr Sick....

I would clean twice and do the job slowly making sure its done very well. HTH

+1 for the odour bomb but it will still need redoing after a few weeks.

Ive tried Autoglym Carpet shampoo as well and can recommend that. FF 4.4 V8 Soooo looking forward to this bad boy

Thanks for the suggestions.

I'll look up these products and give them a try.  2009 3.6 TDV8 HSE Santorini Black

The problem with these odour bomb type products is that they mask over and not remove the smell or the element that is causing the smell... Result is product dispels and the smell returns...

sprinkle baking soda all over the carpets pat in and leave over night , also spread some on a baking tray or newspaper and leave that in over night then hoover out in the morn may need to do this for a week but it actually asorbs odor and nutrailises it
this can take out a lot of smells and is also cheap to boot
also try nutradol airfresheners there very strong but also kill off a lot of odour and after a fw of these can go back to what ever only the dead truely know peace,
Bootneck its not a job its a way of life!
