*******, dropped a bottle of water on my passenger seat..

[DannyVTS]

Without taking the piss, how can i soak this up?

I was picking up my sports bottle from the gym and the top wasn't secured, within half a second the bottle was emptied of its contents.. luckily just tap water!!!

The seats are black corbeau, rather nice seats..and my car is getting looked at tomorrow..

How can i get the water dried up? Hairdryer?

Thanks in advance

(yes i am being serious!)

Basically you're buggered for getting it dry by tomorrow.

Put a dry newspaper on the seat, to "suck" up as much as it can.

Then go out and buy a big bag of Cat litter thats made of the crystals (anti bacterial, etc etc). Put some of that in to some plastic tubs, baking trays and leave them in the car (remove before driving if they are likely to spill). They'll suck moisture out of the air.

Local car wash will have a wet n'dry vax

I bought a wet & dry vac some years ago. It isn't used regularly but there's no better device for spilled liquids, broken glass, sand, tree seeds wedged between patio slabs ....

Assuming car isn't off for an MOT tomorrow and that you can live without the passenger seat for a few days, take seat out and into house.
Yes use, preferably kitchen towel, to mop, newsprint, the ink might stain the cloth.
Leave near a radiator, not too close, couple of days it'll probably be ok to put back.

Are you sure you've not been getting ideas from the dirty truckers thread?

Seats are welded in unfortunately, not by me !

White wine! Poor white wine on it!!

Oh hang on, that only works for red wine doesn't it.......



ETA: Any chance you can get hold a dehumidifier & leave that in there for a few hours?

Forgive me if this is a stupid question, but if the car isn't insured why did you have your gym bottle in it?

[white90]

Towels
kitchen roll
repeat till dry then hairdryer/lawn vac if you have one
Do not use a hot air paint stripper

Just tell the prospective buyer that you have difficulty holding your water.

Sounds like a good idea to me. Experience with leaving bottles of water in gym bottles is that the smell gets worse over time.

Can anyone confirm if dry rice will soak up moisture?
