Can anyone recommend a good carpet/upholstery cleaner and deodoriser?
I spilt some water some time ago and since then it has been honking something awful.
Cheers,

Auto Glym do an upholstry cleaner, "Smells great - Leathery!" As Mark DTM says Vax n' H2O... Auto Glym may neutralise the pong!!

Try Febrise from Tesco/Asda for a fiver. Sickly sweet smell at first but does deoderise very well.
I use Vax carpet shampooer myself - great for cleaning up sick in my wife's car so should be fine for some standing water :-[
-
I find Oust! good at getting rid of odours - it seems to get rid of them, rather than just mask. Smells poncy for a day or 2 though...

VAXes are good

As carpet cleaners go, VAX's are not that good by a long shot. But they are good at getting most of the water out of your car's carpet/seat after scrubbing properly :)

I got one of these http://www.vax.co.uk/shop/product_detail.php?productID=7 for £110 delivered with a free hard floor washer and solutions. It does the job well for the house and car. Considering a shampoo at local valeter is £30/50 it pays for itself quickly. Not that I need it in my car cos the kids are banned :y

Where do you get Oust from TB? Is it a supermarket job or car product? I've got a Sainsbury's on the way home, Tesco is a bit out of the way (Halfruds and another car place just up the road too)
It really is the pong that is the issue. Strange that spilling water has caused that and it hasn't gone away over at least a year. There is no sign of any damp anywhere now.

I've had good results using Traffic Film Remover from Machine Mart, I use it weaker than normal and spray it onto the carpets and leave for 10 minuites or so then fill the Vax with clean warm water to rinse it out.
It is very effective on the green growth around door and window seals which is probably why it is effective at cleaning up the results of a scuttle drain over-flow.

Methinks further investigation is needed as you say its odd that water should smell for so long One possible answer is that the spill has re-hydrated somthing nasty that has previously been spilt on and impregnated the carpet

The usual household cleaning aisle in tescos. Its one of those aerosols for nice smells after 'heavy bathroom visits'...

ah you mean the kind the morning after the mythical cambelt parties... ;D ;D

rather than create a fresh topic, thought i'd revive this as I would like to know if anyone knows where to get this Decosol Instant Valay foam from, or if anyone else has any other recommendations of a similar product
dont really wanna attempt shampooing my interior since it's just a few light denim marks on the driver's seat from the previous owner, and rain marks from opening the doors in the wet!

A luke-warm solution of biological washing powder will kill anything that it producing the smell. Don't do it more than 40 degrees though, or the enzymes in the soap will be killed.

Will,
This may be as much use as a chocolate teapot as I find the link now doesn't work..
When I searched for it at the time I found this place
http://www.4wheelplay.co.uk/decosol-instant-valay-500ml-p-24000090.html
Hopefully the web site is just down temporarily.
I haven't tried it though.
