What’s That Awful Smell? Part II

Not really part two, actually. Just a convenient excuse to use the line again. This time about the horrid odor in the Jeep Grand Livingroom. My boss was helping me load peecees in the hatch for delivery to the Children’s Services department (it really IS about the children, who knew?) and he was overcome by the malodorous effusion.

“Wow! Those are some stinky dogs!”

But I don’t think the smell is attributable to Mr. and Mrs. Puppy. I have a much more terrible speculation. I stepped in a puddle.

Not just any puddle though—and I’ll try to be delicate here—a puddle whose contents were augmented by an individual who, apparently, simply did not have the luxury of finding a sanitary facility to seek relief. I fear that I tracked this crime to the Jeep, infusing its carpet with someone’s offense against civil society.

Granted, my job takes me to some pretty stinky places, but that’s the nature of the place and I’ve signed on to it. I just don’t want to take it home with me.

Maybe baking soda will help.

Or steam cleaning,

P.S. I also thought that enclosing a scoop of coffee in a paper bag and throwing that under the seat might help with the odor. Coffee is a pleasant smell, right?

UPDATE: Arm & Hammer Carpet Deoderizer has helped a lot (it’s positively like a bouquet in there now!) but the source still baffles. I put the coffee where the garage door opener might go in the headliner console and it seems to have worked a bit of its magic as well. Artificial forest + real ground beans = an aromatic festival!

P.P.S. Read the comments for a helpful tip on alleviating more stinkiness, but honestly, I shouldn’t have implicated the pups in the first place.
