  One day got time, find a space with lotsa direct sunlight during the really hot afternoon. Park ur car under the sun and leave all the doors open. Do this for 1/2 to 1 hr. Can't gurantee you the smell will be gone.

  I tried using lemon juice to clean stains before. The smell is quite pleasant after that.

  Place a few slices of white bread in the car for one day. They will absorb the smell. Learned this from a radio programme, and it seem to work.

  shampooed first,
  
  then sun your car with windows open,
  
  then put some pandan leaves......
  
  If u dont wash, later the smell will come back if the floor mat is wet again, for other reasons...... stinko!

  Agree with bro johncooper - He is referring to the Neotec air ionizers that Jerry -62444055 is selling. Can get rid of even durian smell...
  
  Guaranteed product ...

  There is a cheap way of getting rid of smell in the car and I only knew this when I started working for my company. Put a few teabags (normal teabags like those lipton ones or rickshaw chinese tea ones) into ur car. After a while u will realise the smell pretty much gone. It also works if you put into ur shoes or in ur room. This works beacuse tea leaves pretty much absorbs everything ard it, moisture and smell. So without much guessing, yes I work for a tea company hehehe...it works! My car is a testimony hehehe.

  I bought a cheap ionizer from Autobac a few months ago. Small one that plugs into that cig.lighter thingy. On sale for only $12.00 Works fine, except for a slightly metallic smell it emits.

  Does the smaller one get rid of smells like durian from the car ? I got one before the black one right ? But the negative output not enuff to clean my car .
