Coffee Milk Odour Removal | Mercedes A200 Video

This car came to us with coffee spilled in the front foot well. We treated this as an accident clean and aimed to clean up the spill before the smell could set in.

Because coffee contains milk, this will start to rot, and you could end up with a terrible odour. The key to removing car odours is to remove the source of the smell, so we got to work with our extractor and shampooed the carpets several times.

Thankfully, the carpet has a waterproof membrane which stopped the coffee soaking through to the underlay and foam, so this was a fairly simple matter.

We have special products which can break down the fats in the milk and employ antibacterials and antimicrobials which prevent bacteria being able to feast on any traces that remain. When you can smell rotten milk, it is actually the bacteria which you can smell. So if you remove the food source and lay down antibacterials, you should prevent the problem, because no amount of air freshener can fix it.
