What to Do When Soy Milk Spills in the Car and Causes Odor?

Maintain good ventilation inside the car. For new cars, it is advisable to develop the habit of driving with windows open for ventilation within the first six months. When parking, you can leave the car doors open for ventilation. Prepare a basin of hot water, soak a towel in it, wring it out slightly, and then wipe all the seats inside the car.
Spilling soy milk in the car is really troublesome and needs to be dealt with immediately, as the smell can seep into the seats once it starts to stink. I suggest first using a towel to absorb as much of the surface liquid as possible to prevent it from penetrating too deeply. Then, mix a little white vinegar or baking soda with water, dampen a cloth, and wipe the stained area to neutralize the odor. If the smell persists, spray some car-specific deodorizer or place activated charcoal packets in the car for a few days. If the seats are fabric, it's best to remove and wash them or take them to a professional car wash for a thorough cleaning. Keeping a vacuum cleaner and cleaning kit in the car and avoiding eating or drinking while driving can help prevent such accidents. The stench from fermented soy milk is stubborn, and delaying treatment can make the whole car smell bad, affecting health and causing more trouble. Finally, regular ventilation and sunlight exposure can also help eliminate odors.
