i believe a peeled onion chopped in half. The onion eats and soaks up the bad smells.

(has been tested seemingly on today FM Ray Darcy show)

A few drops of Vanilla essence will sort it out. About €1 for a tiny bottle in any supermarket. Just use about 2 -3 drops as the more you use it can be very over powering.

Wash the carpet, fairy liquid, or any carpet shampoo. You can use a vacuum cleaner to speed up the drying.

You can rent a carpet washer and do the whole lot a bit better if you like. Think they are pretty cheap to rent. Use it in your house and car over a weekend.
