Default Interior smell

Alright so I bought a truck that’s been sitting in a garage for nearly 10 years and mice got everywhere but I got the nests out and everything but how do I get the nasty stench out? Any suggestions

To get rid of the smell, here are a few things you can try:

1. Clean with Vinegar and Baking Soda: Wipe down the surfaces with a mix of vinegar and water. You can also sprinkle baking soda on the seats and floor, let it sit for a while, then vacuum it up. Both help absorb smells.

2. Charcoal or Coffee Grounds: Put small bowls of charcoal or coffee grounds in the truck. Leave them in for a few days—they’re good at soaking up odors.

3. Air Fresheners and Odor Neutralizers: You can try odor-neutralizing sprays or air fresheners meant for cars. These can help cover and break down the smell.

4. Let It Air Out: Leave the windows or doors open in a safe spot, like your garage, for a few days to let fresh air in.

5. Check Air Vents: Mice sometimes leave droppings or nests in vents, which could be adding to the smell. Make sure to clean the air vents too.

This should help cut down the smell.
