Oh no, that’s so frustrating! Luckily, these steps can help with your car’s carpet:
  • Mix a solution of one part hydrogen peroxide, one part water in a bucket.
  • Pour the mixture on the carpet or upholstered area.
  • Use a brush to go over the especially stained section.
  • Let it air dry, preferably moving your car into a sunny spot.
Should this not work or you notice the car smells, consider taking your car to a
