Thanks everyone from some great suggestions. I have decided to try most all of them. I have rented an ozone generator for 2 days for $50.00. Before I use it I will clean the entire interior thoroughly and install the 4 new cabin filters. After I finish, I plan on alternating coffee and baking soda in containers at night and putting sheets of fabric softener under the seats.
Opinions follow, beware!
Cleaning: Most excellent! Not sure whether ammonia or vinegar (or both!) is the best solvent for this grime, but I bet you'll find out. I like my homemade window cleaner (ammonia/alcohol mix in a spray bottle) for glass and hard surfaces. Get them all, for sure. Ozone: Sounds good, attack it at the source. I have a thrift-shop ozone generator I got for cheap years ago, but I've not yet had occasion to use it. Have been warned about potential damage to rubber, plastic, and fabrics if overused. Coffee/BS: they are absorbants, sucking up what migrates out of the vehicle into the air. How better than leaving windows open so migrations can just leave? Softener, Febreze, etc.: Pew! Adds to the problem IMHO. -- Jim _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
