old man smell, how to remove? Options

[Hanyo]

Hi all,

Just trying to remove this funky old man smell out of my family members car.


I've tried all my tricks and none of them work.

I think the smell is coming from the driver seat.

Any suggestions besides sowing together bounce sheets as a seat cover?

When my girlfriend and I moved down the street she decided to put our garbage can in the back of my WRX. Well there was a freezer bag of raw chicken juices that spilled out into my trunk - and this was during the summer! I gutted the back of the car and steamed every fabric piece and lysoled the spare tire well. After a couple of months of driving with all of the windows down it finally went away.



So old people smell is nothing. Stop complaining.



Take the seat out, remove the seat cover and wash it and hang it up to dry (do not put it in the dryer!). Then reinstall. No more old people smell.
