Hi all,
A while back I bought some gear oil for my truck.It was in its packaging not opened, but i guess there was some on the outside of the package (or it leaked) because a small ammount got into my carpeted floor mat, and i suspect a smaller amount into the carpet. I tried everything i know to remove the smell. But it persists. I took the floor mat out, sprayed it with extra strength 3d carpet cleaner solution (cut the dilution ratio), hit it with the drill brush, used my extra and it made 0 difference. Tried 2 more times. No dice. I filled my garden sprayer i use for larger jobs, and absolutely saturated the mat with carpet solution, ran the drill brush (which i cleaned between each use). Sprayed it with the water hose until no more suds and STILL smells the same. I tried some ZEP de greaser i had laying around which also failed. Any tips, product recommendations etc? Im willing to replace the mat, but id like to know how to deal with this when its in the carpet as well.
