Sometimes even the hardest chemicals like Febreeze or so doesn't help to get rid off the smell.
Old-fashioned recepies can help, too. For example to put a dish with vinegar or lemon-slices into the car.
If it's really worse, a professional ozone-treatment helps. This is often used to get rid off the smell in houses after it has burned in there.
Once I've irritated the neighbours, when I've flooded my Omega with the garden-hose. It was urgent necessary, because half a liter of strawberry-buttermilk was leaking out of the shopping-bag.
The Omega's trunk-mat is made from quite thick felt-cloth (at least pressed, torn old clothes), which is worst in such cases. The only way is cleaning it with a plenty of water. I've hung the wet mat on an iron-bar in my parent's garden, it took three days until it was dry again - and it was summer with 30 degrees...
Unfortunately some of the strawberry-milk (for my wife, I don't like that) leaked further, underneath the back seat. So I've put out the back seats and all plastic and cloth-interior from the trunk and around the back seat. Then I took the garden-hose and let it running.
I was intelligent enough to look before, how to get the water out of the car again. There are some rubber-knobs on the bottom, where paint and conservation-oil was dripping out in the factory.
Annother tip for all around to avoid worst-case-sitiuations: if you are driving with some drunken friends in your car, let the most drunken one, or that guy, who is known for un-controlled puking-ups never ever sit on the front passenger's seat!!! Always in the back. If anyone throws up into the dashboard-vents and the climate-system, you can bring the car to the junkyard!!
