Help Beer in Trunk

SoonToBimmer · 04-27-2007, 07:01 PM

I picked up some beer and put it in the trunk. When I got home I found out the it tipped over and one of the bottles popped open.

Now I have a wet carpet. What is the best way to clean up and get rid of the smell.

immediately. go to the grocery store and rent a "rugdoctor".

You need to make sure that the beer didn't get under the carpet and mess up control modules.

Matt's idea is a good one, I would do that unless you have a proper wet/dry vac already.

I was so frecked out I forgot I have one. so I am tryting to do this while the carpet was in the car then I found out the the carpet comes out. All is good

. I have cleaned and now it is out drying. Well that is one way to get rid of the new car smell. Thanx for the quick response.

Picus, what about your baking soda idea here..

picus · 04-28-2007, 12:33 AM

Well with any liquid the most important thing is to get it all out asap. If he wet/dry's, as he indicated was done, then he probably won't need a deodorizer. If the mat still smells like beer when it's dry, then baking soda would be a good first choice for deodorizing.
