My car has deteriorated over the years, with the main problem being that i let my children drink milk in their car seats with resulting horrible pongy smell so so so much worse in the summer.
I recently spring cleaned it, took out all the seats and uuurgh lots of scrubbing later , car looks much better.
However the yukky stale milk smell persisted until i read on here, white vinegar left overnight in the bowl should get rid of the smell.
Somewhat sceptically i tried it, and it works, AMAZING thankyou thankyou
Might even have to join the fly thread now
Any other tips you though would never work , but did

So will you be letting your children drink milk in the car anymore? or not ?

And any tips on how to sort this out? pretty please?

never ever again
so should have listened to everyone who told me not to.
not sure about your desk top though, i'once coloured in scratches on a fake wood table with a felt tip
is that any good?
you see , you can tell i'm not a proper domestic person

My db made me get leather seats in the last car I bought. At the time (pre ds) I think I said something about not letting my child eat or drink in the car. How he laughed. I'm very grateful for his forsight now.
