I spilled red beans in my truck all over the floor! I got it all cleaned up and poured water on the carpet to rinse the bean juice out, but it got more down in the carpet. It is also under the trim around the door. If has left this rotton sour smell, worse than a dead mouse lol! I have tried vinegar, lemon, and ammonia cleaner, nothing will take the smell out. I gag everytime I get in it. I need help! What can I use?

The last used car we bought had this sour smell inside. It belonged to a young lady who apparently spilled a lot of coffee with milk in the front and back seat. When we bought the car, we could see no stain and could smell only the air freshener hanging inside. I have a little green clean machine and my son and I spent at least 3 hours using it to clean with ammonia water over and over and over again. We were very surprised at how long it took until the water removed had no color. When we were finished, we pulled it in the garage and opened all the windows until it was completely dry. The smell was mostly gone. We put socks filled with coffee grounds under the seats (a tip from a friend) and the sour smell eventually went away. When people apply water or cleaner without using suction to remove it, it just pushes the stain source deeper in. Then the soap and particles get trapped under the carpet. This is true with household carpet as well. You can get a Bissel Little Green Clean Machine (which is what we have) for cheap on their website--call and ask if they have any refurbished ones--which are drastically discounted.
As the bean liquid has soaked inside areas you can't access to clean, probably the best plan is to take it to a dealership. The dealer will be able to take the carpet, trim, etc. areas out and clean the entire area for a full clean.
Sprinkle baking powder on the rug, let it sit for a day and then vacuum it up
i spilled red chile in my car cleaned it with dawn however it still looks red as well as smells like chile how do i get it out
Use baking soda. Sprinkle all over the carpet. Let it sit until baking soda is wet or n clumps. Vacuum up. May need to do several times and smell will be gone
