Rubber mats, car seat covers, and any blankets you keep for your dog can be removed and washed. Use a cool temperature to be safe when washing parts of your car. You may also want to use a gentle cycle. Make sure to read the label before washing parts of your car. There may be special instructions to keep in mind.

Use the spray on a small portion of your car first. Watch to see if the spray dries without causing any damage. If the spray seems to be safe for your car, go ahead and spray down and clean the hard surfaces in the interior.

Once you know the cleaner is safe, spray down the floor and seats with a layer of carpet cleaner. If you’re unsure of how much to use, refer to the instructions on your bottle. Once the carpeting is covered in cleaner, suck up the cleaner with the wet/dry vac. Your car should smell significantly better.

Immediately place a few layers of absorbent paper towel over the urine. Allow the paper towel to soak up some of the stain. Cover the towels with a few large layers of newspaper. After soaking up most of the urine, rinse the area with cold water. Then, use towels or a wet/dry vacuum to soak up the water.

Apply a pet odor neutralizer right away. You can find one at a local pet store, online, or at a grocery/department store. Allow the spot to dry. If there is still a stain after the spot dries, wash it out with carpet cleaner.

For a very strong smell, you may have to repeat this a few nights in a row.

Make sure to test the spray on a small portion of your car first. You want to make sure a vinegar spray does not cause your car to develop stains.

Mix half a cup of 3% hydrogen peroxide with a teaspoon of dish soap. Pour this liquid over the baking soda and paper towel. Scrub the mixture into the floor with a towel or scrub brush. Let it sit for about 15 minutes and then vacuum the area.

You can simply place the bottle in your car. It should absorb dog odors and leave your car smelling like oranges.

If you’re taking your dog somewhere like the beach, this can be very helpful. The smell of wet dog can be particularly strong. Make sure to wash the blanket regularly.

Do not bathe your dog too often, however. Most dogs do fine without regular baths. Only bathe your dog before a longer trip in the car.
