View Full Version : Advice on removing smell and hair...

It`s been a while since I`ve posted here, but I have a question:



A friend just bought a used Saab whose previous owner had a dog. Apparently she spent all day cleaning it, but the hair was very imbedded and the smell is still apparent.



Here is the rub: She lives in a different state and it is unrealistic for me to bring my supplies with me to try stuff (I had a shiver up my spine when she told me she "armor all`d" her car!).



Any advice on how to remove the smell? How about the pet hair?



I figured bringing it to a do it yourself car wash (or even a vaccuum at a drive in place) would help with the hair -- much better suction.



What about the smell? A good upolstery cleaner? What about a steam cleaner... but where can she do it?



Thanks,

Jeff

If she can get the interior steam cleaned it would help with the smell. Perhaps she can find a local detailer with an extractor.

I`ve heare, or read someplace, that to aid in the removal of pet hair - put a damp rubber dishwashing glove on your hand and drag it across the hair. This should pick it right up.
