Does anyone have a secret formula for getting the mouse smell out of a pickup? All the fabric, rubber. Etc, is removed. Just metal body to deal with.

I think a citrus based cleaner may be your best bet, it’s a nasty smell to get rid of.

Try clorine the kind they use for pools and much stronger than store brand Clorox.

Once all cleaned out with a cleaner of choice, there's a product called "Nilodor" that will get rid of the smell. Comes in a little bottle of concentrate, use a few drops in a spray bottle of water and spritz around.

Burn some ground coffee in there.

My wife had an old pissy dog and cat. The enzyme stuff was a marriage saver.

aussie merc · 11-23-2021, 07:20 PM

just my two cents try bicarb solution in a spray bottle and wipe down thourghly and then spray a diluted solution of vanilla up under on any fabric or trimming

Chanel #5. A highly complex fragrant blend of flower oils including rose, jasmine, lily & iris. Mixed with a warm base of sandalwood, vanilla, amber and patchouli oils. This stink coverup satisfies Chanel's request that it smell like a bunch of flowers instead of just one. Claimed to make any mouse smell more tolerable. 8^)

It'll dissipate over time. Keep it open and aired out. Lot of good suggestions and solutions.

Fragrance is like taking a big dump in a small bathroom and spraying some fragrance.

the mouse smell is a tough one to get rid of

MyFlattyFord · 11-29-2021, 11:19 PM

Put an open cookie sheet with used coffe grounds on it - that will take away the mouse-house smell.
THEN - put a bar of Irish Spring soap under the seat & under the hood - that'll keep the varmits from setting up house in the future...

I bought a used pickup that reeked to high heaven last year. After trying everything to mask the smell with cleaners that didn't work, I bought an Enerzen high capacity commercial ozone generator. Stuck that in the truck and let it run several cycles and it no longer stinks.

rent an ionizer and stick it in there for a few hours. will do a pretty good job. then use fragrance.

just bought a 35 chevy and never had such bad piss smell in my life. left the car doors open in it last night. was cleaning out the back seat when I got it home and saw that little varmint run away! I feel your pain.......lol

Odo-ban. Eucalyptus based cleaner. It is amazing.

Vinegar is my other thought. To be followed by bleach.

Best of luck.
