Im such an idiot. Yesterday i picked up my morning coffee and pulled the mini in the garage. I forgot my coffee and being lazy i tried reaching for it standing from outside leaning in (WT was i thinking) well the lid fell off and it slipped out of my hand.
A majority of it pooled in my drivers seat and the rest dripped onto the carpets. I immediately pulled out my steam cleaner and got to work. I removed the mats and hit them really good, then hit the carpets that are permanently attached to the car.
i cleaned all the coffee, dumped the tank and did it again just to make sure i wasn't still picking it up. What i sucked up was clean and didnt have any signs of coffee. I then hit the seat with cleaner/conditioner. left the mats out to dry and left the car out of the garage to heat up and dry the carpets out. when i went to pull it back in the garage last night my car smelled like leather conditioner mixed with stale coffee:help: it not a pleasant smell. My mats are left out just to rule out them smelling. I assume its in the seat, as the pleather soaked it in?
Ive scrubbed and scrubbed my seat and if i scrub any more i think they will disintegrate.
I know its not in any carpet or surface so its got to be coming from the seat. The spill was cantained to the driver side seat, front & rear foot wells. How do i get rid of this smell? :help:
TIA, im such an idiot. all these years never spilling a drop of coffee in any one of my cars and i go and pull some lazy stuff and this is what happens, err.
