Before i bought my pickup and began fixing it up it sat for about 8 months and mice got in there. It now smells like mouse piss. I cleaned it spotless and washed everything inside then sprayed the seat down with fabreeze. This lasted a while without odor but now it back again. Whats the best way to get rid of the odor for good? Is there something i can like set in my pickup and it will absorb the odor out of the air like a sponge or is there a better odor spray then fabreeze?

normally the air intake gets mice crap and other debris...clean out the air ducting remove the blower motor..the air intake exterior grill , and flush out ..then when it looks good use a solution of 5-10 % bleach and some laundry soap to water and using two buckets wash/rinse clean with a sponge the surfaces..

with cloth seats using a good rug shampoo spray seats lightly and then using a strong wet vac suck up the solution and dirt ..repeat this a few times with a very soft brush ..not to wet ...then do not use the seats until totally dry...I had a vehice 17yrs and the seats where cleaned like this every year ...still looked great after all those years dirt eats at the fabric...

remove seats and do the total rug surface if its bad..

dry the seats in the sun if you remove from the vehicle ..
