alright i finally got my truck....i had it detailed, and now the sinside smells mustly from them shampooing tha seats. ive rode around with the windows down and it on max ac for5 about 3 or 4 days now, but i still smell it. what should i do.

 

[Robb]

Fabreze.........and stop running the AC on max, that is just re-circulating the air.

 

[Redrig]

heres an idea,

 

[Nate1]

Shouldn't you roll those windows down for some outlet air? or even better, open the doors?
Just a thought

when its been sitting at my house ive had the doors open and the back open....it STILL stinks

 

[Texplorer]

HAHAHA, good one redrig.

 

[Redrig]

id take it back if it smells that bad. tell them u payed to have it cleaned not stink. maybe they have a good solution. if not try anything air fresheners etc. you have nothing to lose.

the musty smell is trapped moisture. it is molding. if any bacteria has formed (over 5 days time or more) you will have to go through extensive cleaning to get it out.

if you have just had the seats done and only the seats, they will need to either be blown out with a HEATED pressure washer and redried completely inside and out, or broken down and cleaned piece by piece to get rid of the mold bacteria, which sets in within 3 to 5 days.

Breaking the seats down is as long and painful as a 25 tooth root canal. how do i know? please see the "how clean can you get your X" thread in detailing.

i know

i don't see how they could have cleaned them like you say without getting the floor wet, it might be that also. there are thick insulation pads that soak up water like a sponge under the carpet and DO NOT dry naturally....ever. they just keep molding. the plastic backing on the carpet lets water in, but not out. it cannot evaporate.
