5 months ago... I bought a Honda Civic hatchback for a thousand bucks. It had a dog smell to it. The friend I bought it from said that he bought from a guy that let dogs stay in it. No matter what I did, I couldn't get that smell out. Finally removed the whole interior (seats mainly), and used my small carpet cleaner and my Simple Green, and went at that interior. It took three days of cleaning that carpet and plastic interior and seats. Had to leave the windows open after each day of cleaning to dry it out. Bought several of those air cleaners from home depot and put them on the dash. Took a long time, but the smell is finally gone. But I still use those air fresheners. I am not sure how my friend and the guy he bought it from could drive around like that.
