How to Clean Odor from Car Seat Foam?

Bamboo charcoal bags have strong odor adsorption capabilities. This method is very effective in removing odors inside the car and has a long-lasting effect. Among fruits, there are also items with excellent deodorizing effects, such as pomelo and lemon. The effect of pomelo is similar to that of bamboo charcoal bags, possessing the function of adsorbing odors. Vinegar can adsorb formaldehyde and also stabilize it. Therefore, placing some vinegar in the car not only works well but also has a low cost.
I've encountered the issue of unpleasant odors from seat foam several times, which is really annoying. But try these methods: First is ventilation – on a sunny day, roll down all the windows and let air circulate for a few hours. If the smell persists, use baking soda – sprinkle it on the seats, leave it overnight to absorb odors, then vacuum it clean the next day. Once when I spilled food in the car and the foam got moldy, I mixed white vinegar and water (1:1 ratio), sprayed it on the seats, and wiped with a soft cloth – it worked well. Normally, be careful not to leave wet items in the car to prevent mold growth. If that still doesn't work, there might be deep-seated stains inside, so it's best to remove and clean them or have a car wash shop handle it. When cleaning, be gentle to avoid damaging the foam material.
