    I made the scoolboy error of leaving my soaked golf bag, rain gear and shoes etc in the boot of the car for a few days resulting in the whole car smelling like there was a dead body stored in it.

    Could anybody recommend an air freshner that will definitely work, ive tried a few things n nothing seems to work. Feel like throwing up whenever i get in the car.

    Thanks

    Get one of those donut things they put in urinals and leave it in the boot for a few days. It'll clear the smell.

    Dry the boot out as best as you can if you havent already. You can get moisture absorbing crystals from the likes of halfords.
    Then steam clean the boot.
    Use crystals to re dry the boot.
    This should kill the bacteria which cause the smell and then a blast of anti bacterial spray will sort you. If the smell has been in your car for a while it might be worth replacing your pollen filter as this can sometimes absorb smells.
