Baking soda should absorb the odors.
Put it in a shallow pan and set it on the rear seat or carpet.
But it may take several tries.

I have used a baking soda/water mix to wash carpet/seats with bad odors. If you can, I'd pull the carpet out and do a good soapy wash followed by a baking soda/water scrub and then rinse and reinstall. :wave:

Someone once said open a can of ground coffee and leave it in the floorboard too as it will absorb the odor.

My boss has a bowl of Listerene mouthwash in the office to help with the smoke smell.

I had a car carpet professionally cleaned by a company that usually does house carpets once when there was vomit that didn't scoop/wipe out. Have them use a formula they use for pets.

Also, try something called Odo-Ban sold at Home Depot. I've used it for pet stains and stuff; works great. It also almost totally killed the cigarette smell in a truck I had.

well its a cross between cat urine and skunk

You have to pinpoint the smell, and go from there. If you can't pinpoint the smell, pulling the seats and carpet may help. Make sure there's nothing dead in the blower fan or HVAC ducts.

Did this car sit for a long time?

and the last one is recommened, here is what it is supposed to do

Used by Pest Control Professionals to remove dead rodent odors, urine and feces odors, skunk odors, as well as odors from chemicals, cigarette smoke, and Earth Care Bags do not have to come into contact with dead rodent or odor causing agent. Simply place the bag near the odor and in 24 hours the odor will be gone. Earth Care acts like a magnet by attracting and neutralizing smells. It is made from an all natural mineral, is non toxic and biodegradable and safe for Planet Earth. It is also safe around children and pets, even if eaten. Earth Care absorbs odors rather than masking them with a fragrance. Covers up to 200 square. Lasts 3-4 months in use or indefinitely in plastic wrap.
Ideal For:


Pet Odor Remover
Cigarette Odor
Bathroom Odors
Diaper Pail
New Carpet Smell
Dead Rodents/Animals
Car or RV
Locker Room
Garbage Cans
Smoking Areas
Basements
Nursing Homes
