I found out why drinking and driving is bad. . .
I spilled beer all over my car. Pretty much a full beer made it into my carpet, how the hell do I get that pungent beer smell out?
edit: I wasnt actually driving anywhere, I was showing my friend my new seats in my driveway, and I kicked my beer over and didnt notice.

if all that does not work. you might try vanilla extract. I dont know if it will work on carpet but it workes really well at killing odors. Just a thought if you do try it, do it under the seat or some where you can't see it first. Just a thought.

I don't know if you have any around where you live but there are a couple of car wash places here that have hot shampoo machines. You shampoo your carpet with the hot foam and scrub brush and then vacuum it all up. I had a baby bottle spill all over the back seat and carpet of a car I used to have and didn't find out about it until the smell was unbearable. I took it to the car wash, hot foamed it, vacuumed, sprinkled baking soda, and vacuumed again. Smell was gone and carpet looked bad *** afterwards. Don't let the baking soda sit for a long time (couple of days) or it will become real hard and be hard to get out of the carpet. Good Luck

1st off.. you need to pull the carpet up and clean underneath (namely the padding under the carpet, because thats the stuff that holds in smells) clean that with OxyMagic from Armor All... then clean the the carpet with club soda (to remove the stain) then give it a last cleaning with any type of apolstry cleaner (the stuff from Sears works well, its for couches)
This is how i got grape soda out of my grey carpet.

little green machine.. worked when a broken to-go box spilled fajita juice all over my rear seats/ carpet. If i can get that smell out you can get the beer out. (it took a week with the rear seats out and a ton of shampoo-ing but oti worked) BTW nothing except bottled water is never allowed in my car now "boxed" or not

How about the fact your sig shows you as 20 years old?
Anyone else notice this?
