Does anyone know what will get rid of the smell of chaincase oil? I had a whole litre of it bust open in the back of my wifes new suv,new car smell no more.Any good advice would be awsome.
Where did the oil spill on the seat or the carpet. Carpet - It may have went threw into the pad beneath the carpet this may be a synthetic or a Jute product. This will hold the odor big time. You can get this from a uphoslery shop. At the least you will have to steam clean the area of damage. If is in the seat you may want to try first to steam clean. When I suggest steam cleaning, this is with a truck mount unit that you would use for cleaning your house carpets, not a home unit. Mabie Rooster can give his two sense on this.
I don't know what your carpet will look like after this but this seams like it might work:
Odors – Many people have allergic reactions to the odor and suffer breathing problems and skin rashes and so the prompt removal of odors is very important. Consider hiring a professional spill response company to remove persistent oil odors. Perform the tasks below several times to make an area odor free. If impossible to remove odor and product, all building materials that have been in contact with the oil will have to be removed.
Remove as much of the oil-saturated material, including absorbents and any other items that have come in contact with the oil as soon as possible. If the spill occurred on soil, remove as much of the impacted soil as possible.
To aerate the area, open as many doors and windows as possible. Use fans to pull odors out of the house, basement or crawl space. If the spill is under a house trailer, the skirting should be removed for aeration. Be prepared to aerate for a long period of time – days or even weeks.
Wash down the effected areas. This will require several washing and rinsing operations. Odors should decrease after each application.
Use products individually and mixed with hot-as-possible water. Washing products such as Dawn™ Dishwashing Liquid, Simple Green™, and white vinegar have proven effective.
Add a four-ounce bottle of Pure Vanilla Extract to assist in odor control.
Rinse with water after using the cleaning solution.
If possible, collect the rinse water in towels, a shop-vac, or somehow divert the water from the house.
Commercially available powders and sprays that break down and mask oil odor, such as Odor Gone, can be purchased.
Spread powder on the stained area and leave for several days. Remove and reapply if necessary.
Make your own powder by mixing 10 parts powdered Tide™ with 1 part baking soda.
Sprays such as boat bilge cleaners have proven effective on staining and odors. Use these products as directed by the manufacturer.
Fresh air ventilation during any cleanup procedure is critical for worker safety and odor elimination.
Thanks for the input guys i appreciate it. The spill occured in the storage area behind the third row of seats,carpets are ok except under the jack storage compartment I will try a couple of your ideas,if that doesent work I'll cut it out.Thanks again Jon
