Jim asked: How do I remove rodent urine smell? My car was stored outside, and some type of rodent decided to make a home in there. Now on warm days or when the heat is on, the car smells like a dirty hamster cage. The car has leather interior. I have tried many deodorizers and cleaners, but still can’t get rid of the smell. Please tell me what I can use. Thank you.
Rodents are small and can crawl into the tiniest nooks and crannies of your car. The first challenge is finding the source of the problem. While the smell may appear to be coming from the seats, you may want to treat other areas as well. If the smell is coming from the vents, you have a separate issue to worry about. Once you have determined where the smell is coming from, there are enzyme-based cleaners that will neutralize the odor causing proteins in the urine. They are readily available at pet stores. These are commonly used to remove cat urine (known for its strong, lingering smell) and instructions can be found in our guide How to Remove Cat Urine from Leather Furniture.
If the odor may be coming form other areas of your car, it would be worth your time to check our guide How to Remove Dead Rodents (and the smell) from Your Car. It offers valuable advice for locating the smell and treating the odors if you are unable to find the source.
