When I first encountered this issue, it was quite troublesome to handle. Soy milk was spilled in the car, and the residue turned sour, creating an unbearable smell. First, I had to locate the exact spots, usually in the seat crevices or on the floor. I used a vacuum to remove the solid debris, then wiped the surfaces with a damp cloth soaked in warm water. Ventilation was crucial—I left all the windows open for several hours to let the air disperse the odor. Placing some baking soda in a bowl overnight worked wonders; I replaced it with fresh powder the next day. Another effective method was using coffee grounds—spreading them on a plate and leaving them in the car for a few days naturally eliminated the odor without any cost. Afterward, I sprayed alcohol for disinfection to prevent bacterial growth. Remember, acting quickly prevents the smell from becoming stubborn, and sealing soy milk cups tightly in the future is a must. For regular maintenance, using a vacuum to clean the car interior periodically also helps prevent dirt buildup.
