Title: How to remove fish odour from the carpet
Post by: Johnny Czarnota on November 16, 2011, 10:51:19 am

Ive just had a customer who had spilled some fish onto her car boot carpet. I have cleaned with contract deodoriser and smell did. It seem to be gone. I told her to ventilate as much as she can. Anyone knows how to get rid of the fish smell?

Cleensan, might be best to remove carpet, soak it well & agitate, leave for approx 30 mins, then rinse thoughly, leave hangin up to dry.
Best of luck with getting rid of that smell........small jar of charcoal placed in boot.....charcoal absorbs the smell....might have to be in there permantly. ;D

Try Natures Miracle,

Its an enzymatic spray, you can get it from pets at home or similar places or off the internet, we have used it succesfully when we cleaned a pub where someone had rammed prawns & mussels down the back of fixed seating, it did the trick with plenty of ventilation afterwards.

Try the cleansan and then, if you're sure that it's clean, an ozone generator.

None of the above will solve it.
A shock Ozone machine will though ;)
