It broke on the passenger side seat, and for the most part, all of the wine was absorbed by the seat. How do I get the smell out of my car? It seems like nothing is working.

Wow. I don't know... just don't get pulled over for a while, though.

Replace the car seat. I don't see how else you are going to kill the smell because the seat will be so throroughly impregnated with the wine. Possibly you should remove the seat and utterly drench it with appropriate cleaning materials to flush the wine out.

But more to the point, don't you know that alcohol is sinful?









... kidding...!

You could pour milk on the floor in the backseat... that will definitely cover up the wine smell!

Yeah, that's a different way of having an "open container!"

Last year a dining companion got a little too excited. He pounded the table, causing his glass of red wine to spill all over my white dress shirt and my planner. It came out of my shirt, but of course not the planner.

You're taking it well. I'd just go buy a new car but you'll never replace that bottle of wine. Nope, I'd be inconsolable.

Have you tried tomato juice? It is suppose to work for skunk spray.

What i had done when my car flooded was this:

The smell was horrid from the dirty water. So i poured clean water on the affected areas and then shopvac'd it back up. I did that until the water in the shop vac was clean. Then used basic car interior cleaners over the course of the next couple of days.

Baking soda absorbs smells. Actually paint stores have this product where you pop the lid and it absorbs the smells. I think its made by Back to Nature.

Also leave the windows open to ventilate it if at all possible.

Thats all i can come up with.

What sort of wine are we talking about? There are worse things a car can smell of than a good quality red or champagne...

Chardonnay. I'm fairly new to wine, so someone gave me a bottle before I moved, as I had never tried it before.

The bottle had one of those cheap, plastic and rubber-like corks. When it got really hot Monday afternoon, the weight of the wine pushed the cork, now a little more soft and maliable, out. The foil on top of the cork was very, very thin aluminum. From what I can gather, when the wine got warm, it was able to slip slowly passed the cork and put some force on the wrapper on top. After a while, the cork must have just fallen out (the bottle was on it's side, facing downward when I found it).

After finding this, I concluded that the wine was probably just as cheap as it's packaging!

Wow, my theory sounded more sensible before I said it. If anyone's interested, I have an even bigger theory as to why my final term paper never got to my English professor!

I'll try those suggestions. Is there a way to determine what would neutralize particular odors? like the way certain bases neutralize acids, etc?

Actually those plastic/rubber corks are used by many including very expensive wines... not that I like them at all - it's just not a 'cheap only' package option

Stick a cut apple under the seat (it's supposed to work on cars that had corpses in them for a time...what we were told by someone who used to professionally clean cars).

If it's a bucket seat, just remove it and leave it in the back yard for a month or so, in the hot sun. Then it will smell like raisins, which should be an improvement.

You could try some chlorine bleach, too, if you don't mind the color disappearing. Chlorine oxidizes almost everything.

After so many years in the legal field, I think here's what some people would do:

Tell their insurance company that they'd offered to be a designated driver for a drunk friend, and the guy was carrying an
