getting rid of sulphur

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

Been offline for 2 weeks now, but we did finally buy our first home

and everything is packed in here Maybe soon all of those boxes

will just magickly unpack themselves? Here is the problem I have. I

bought my MIL's 1989 Cadillac after she passed away, so there is alot

of sentimental value in this car. A week ago today, I opened the car

up to go somewhere and thought I had some sort of electrical fire

during the night! There was a white film over everything! Hubby

went out & looked at it and said there was no fire, someone had put

off a smoke bomb inside my car! Since there are few kids in this

area, I told the Fire Marshal and the Police Officer that the only

kiddo we even had any contact with was when we asked him to move his

basketball goal from out in front of our house. The FM and the PO

showed up at his door and as soon as the door opened, the kid

says... " I know, your here about that car aren't you? " He didn't do

it, but he knew who did So.....in the interest of giving the

brats a second chance, the FM and the PO asked us if it would be OK

if the boys (aged 15, 13 & 8!) cleaned my car from top to bottom and

got it looking like it used to. They did a great job on the outside

of the car, and even used a toothbrush on the inside of the

car! Problem is, that nasty sulphur smell just won't go away! I

have left the windows all rolled down for 5 days now, I can't hardly

use the AC because the smoke got into the vents as well, so it smells

worse when I use the AC.....course, it is only 101 right now! I have

used Febreeze 3 times now, plus the 1 time the kids used it. The

floor mats were taken out and shampooed, along with the carpet on the

floorboard. I am guessing that the scent is still hanging out in the

head liner, along with the bit of carpet that is in the back

window. Does anyone know of anything.....natural or not, that will

take that stench away? I talked with a car detailing place and the

best they can do is yank the carpet and seats and shampoo the carpet,

but there is no guarantee that the stench will stay gone I tried

charcoal to soak up the smell, but it didn't seem to help much. I

don't want to mask the smell, I want to get rid of it!! Any help

would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Chris,

You need someone with an ozone machine a couple of hrs. with it

running and the windows up, then with the air on for 15mins. should do it.

I would try zeosote. I'm sure you can find it in a computer search. It is a

natural mineral that absorbs odors. I'll see if I can find a source for you.

Hi Chris,

I'm not sure if this will work on your car but Jeffers has a product called

Odormute and it really works on natural odors. You spray it on, let it sit and

then rinse it off with water. It removes urine and blood and all sorts of smelly

stuff. Since sulphur is a natural thing then maybe the Odormute will work. It's

worth a try. I am also so sorry to hear how those kids welcomed you into the

neighbor hood.

Try boxes of baking soda. The kind you take the sides off of and put in the

fridge or freezer. Three or four boxes. Leave car windows up at night.

 

If that doesn't work, try boiling some water in a large pan, and put vanilla

extract in it (a goodly amount - can also put in cinnamon or other spices of

choice); while still steaming, put on the floor of the car, shut doors and

windows (preferably at night), and should smell a lot better by morning. Be su

re to take out pan before going somewhere.

 

Could also put cotton balls with vanilla extract on them in vents and air

conditioner outlets for a few days.

 

A few years ago, my daughters were at home late at night (girls were in high

school) and I was visiting a neighbor in our apartment complex....girls called

me home all a-twitter....they kept hearing " something " hit the front of the

apartment. Not " hard " things like rocks, but definitely " something. " I came home

and heard the same thing. Couldn't figure it out. I went outside to the side of

the apartment, and pretty soon, here came " something " again. I waited some

more, and sure enough, here it came again....our apartment is directly across a

6 foot fence from the apartment complex east of us. The 10 year old kid across

the fence and an accomplice were opening the door of their apartment and lobbing

eggs at my apartment - at midnight!!! I called the police, and an officer came

and looked at the front of my apartment, and said, " Sure enough, that's eggs!

What do you want to do about it? " I suggested that the culprits get their

heinies over here, NOW, and wash off my apartment before the sun hit the icky

in the morning and baked it on. Officer thought that was a splendid idea. So he

went to the apartment, woke up the mom, and the boys were scrubbing down my

apartment at 12:30 a.m.. By golly, they didn't do it again!

 

Keep us posted!
