I spilt gearbox oil all over my passenger footwell in my old car. Stunk like hell for months!

Just kept shampooing it every week. Eventually died down. Kept coming back a bit when the weather was hot tho!

Thx,

Luckly not as smelly as gearbox oil, believe it or not 2 ltrs (or so) of oil came out.. and i think theres still about 1/2 ltr in the carpet

If the damn car didnt keep eating oil, i would have had it in the boot!

The Waxwizard removed some marks etc from my boot carpet by removing it, spraying with Multiclean then pressure washing it - worked a treat

No reason why it shouldn't work here if it is only on the carpet

It will probably work out cheaper getting another boot carpet

maybe take your carpet out and give it a real good going over with one of those industrial carpet cleaners you can hire (like a big vacuum cleaner)

Steam clean it. Valeters sometimes have the equipment for this sort of thing.

Simple buy a new carpet, i believe about 50 quid

Ditch the carpet and buy a Subaru rubber boot liner for around 30.00 or so for a 4 dr, not sure if they do them for 5drs.
