I had a zucchini roll under my car seat once. Out of sight, out of mind. Until a few days later that is. Wow what a smell! After scooping it out with paper plate, I cleaned the carpet as well as possible and then Febreezed the whole car, especially the carpet. It worked!

Also could be something like urine from a cat
or other animal that was UNDER car where you may have parked for a while in the heat or animal could have peed under hood or on tire maybe?
I spray OUST in my vents at times and then run car
with vents open to air out. goodluck!

Helen,
Sometimes when we get a lot of rain and use our air conditioner or vents it smells like "feet', but I think it is just stagnant water. We let the car and vent run for a while or you could check with a car dealer.

Helen, You might want to try putting baking soda on the carpet and upholstery. Also BBQ charcoal sounded pretty good too.

Hi Helen - Western Washington State, here on the Pacific Ocean, is a lot like Ireland for climate (we have the forty shades of green for sure). I would suggest keeping the pot-type dehumidifiers in your car. It's just a kit you buy, a plastic container with a packet of crystals to put in the top half. so that it pulls the humidity out of the air. Foot odor, if that's what it is, is caused by a fungus, and complete dryness is needed to kill it.

Did somebody smoke in your car? It kind of smells like feet when it gets into the upholstery.

Try leaving some charcoal in your car for a few days, should absorb the smell. But you really need to get to the bottom of it.
