smelly boot!?
 
No not my feet :lol1:

My boot had a leak (believed to have been sorted) but the boot smells of damp. I have tried to use a carpet cleaner and other methods to get rid of the smell but nothing has worked so far.

Any ideas its really beginning to irritate me now :mad:

Try sprinkling bicarbonate of soda all over the boot, leave for a couple of days and vacume out ;)
Failing that spray a load of Fabreeze in there

Mine used to smell like a cannabis factory when it got damp. I sorted the leak then used a small tub of de-humidifying crystals.

Use some sticky velcro on the underside to stop them moving about. It should sort it out.

Try to find the leak, fix that.

Make sure its dry, if you can, borrow a george to suck it dry as much as you can.

Bio-Brisk will help, you can get it from you local AutoSmart.

If you need to soak up a bit of damp in the air, cat litter tray with a non-smelling cat litter, that will soak up moisture and smells.

You do need to leave it for a weekend at least (no driving the car around, just let it do its stuff).
