ALF1 Posted May 14, 2003 Share Posted May 14, 2003 Okay, experts; need your advice. Anchovy oil got spilled on one of the sheepskins (don't ask how); smells to high heaven. I've heard in the past of miracle stuff that removes even the worst smells. Any suggestions before I have to remove the skin to have it drycleaned or, worse, replaced?Thanx,<span style="font-weight: bold">-- ALF </span> and his friend Jerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harry yarnell Posted May 14, 2003 Share Posted May 14, 2003 I have used an ozonator. Works great. It's a device you plug into 110, and it generates ozone. Got rid of spilled milk in one car, and some horrid cologne in another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie B. Posted May 15, 2003 Share Posted May 15, 2003 He was using the anchovies as cat bait so hecould feed ALF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelby Posted May 15, 2003 Share Posted May 15, 2003 Try and get as Much of the stuff out, with some oderless mineral spirits. You can get it from a carpet cleaner. Or I will send you a little bottle. Then use the magic stuff, then the ozone Machine. Hope you are feeling better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALF1 Posted May 17, 2003 Author Share Posted May 17, 2003 Used the ExStink as directed ($10 for the stuff; $25 for overnight shipping). Took away maybe 90 percent of the smell -- but the remaining 10 percent is still overwhelming. The search continues....<span style="font-weight: bold">-- ALF</span> and his clumsy friend JerryP.S. Most interesting part of the ExStink claim is that it's endorsed by the Los Angeles Coroner's Office for use on decomposing...oh, never mind.

Shelby Posted May 18, 2003 Share Posted May 18, 2003 See if you can get your hands on an Ozone Generator. It will get most of it out.Use less smelly bait for those cats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sahein Posted May 18, 2003 Share Posted May 18, 2003 "Smoke Eliminator" sold at Home Depot in the janitorial supplies section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALF1 Posted May 18, 2003 Author Share Posted May 18, 2003 Enough, enough! Just threw away $350 worth of sheepskins. Pulled 'em, took 'em to the dry cleaners with my problem -- and the guy yelled, "Get those stinkin' things outta here!" Tried the ozone machine as well as several other remedies suggested by Home Depot and our carpet cleaners. The oil had gotten into the leather sheepskin backing; no redemption. Fortunately, nothing penetrated that leather to get into the seat leather, so virtually all of the odor went with the 'skins. New 'skins ordered; thanks for all suggestions.Note to that handsome Idle Swede: Don't blame the ALFster, Sven; it was the clumsy Irisher who dumped the can on the seat.<span style="font-weight: bold">-- ALF</span> and his recently deodorized friend Jerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest imported_walt in ciniti Posted May 18, 2003 Share Posted May 18, 2003 Now that the sheep skins are gone, why not put in cat skins. Think of the color combinations avaible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Reatta1 Posted May 19, 2003 Share Posted May 19, 2003 Snow leapord would look fantastic in that car Alph!!! Would be more of a challenge to catch though than say, a Himalayan. <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
