My convertible was stored for the winter in an unheated garage, and a mouse decided to visit the car's trunk. It apparently became trapped in one of the trunk storage compartments, and eventually died, leaving a disgusting combination of excretions and a rotting corpse.
When the car came out of storage yesterday, I immediately smelled and then located the mess, and proceeded to clean everything out with a shop vac, paper towels, and then Lysol in the felt lined compartment where the mess was located. I have washed and air dried everything, and now there is no visual evidence of any remaining mess of any kind whatsoever. However, the trunk absolutely stinks.
Is there any good and dependable way to remove these type of odors permanently? I do not want to try using fragrances to cover up the remaining stink and want to get the smell out of there entirely.
Thanks for any advice / recommendations.
