Can you ever get rid of dog smell?

[CoolHands]

A car I want to buy smells reasonably faintly of dog (owner had dogs at least in the car sometimes obvs I don’t know how often).

Do you think you can ever truly get rid of it? I know many people fail. My brother had a Honda that smelled faintly of dog initially and he though he could live with it and bought it. But it got stronger and stronger (I assume the seller had managed to mask it at point of sail), so it stank! And never went in the 3 or 4 years he owned it!

Hence I don’t really want to risk it (I hate dogs), but I’m wondering if I’m being over sensitive

I would be willing to take the seats out and jet wash or steam clean the carpet even, but I just don’t know if that would work / is sufficient. They may have been on the seats which are alantara with leather edges so much more difficult to not spoil (ie couldn’t jet wash them)

I bought a BISSELL SpotClean Pro (that's a brand of wet vac) and used with Valet Pro Enzyme Odour Eater (you water down by certain amount ie use at 10% or whatever) which I used on the carpet, and seats. I also took the seats out in order to do so. As well as cleaned entire interior with Bilt Hamber Surfex HD.

It is A1and doesn't smell at all.



Have to get brave:
