I actually spilled an entire cup of coffee on my seat last month. Dat smell. After cleaning it and 3 febreeze bottles later it no longer smells like burnt coffee beans. I'll give the vodka spray a try though. Just any type of Shasta-type Vodka or name brand?

I hear the cheaper the vodka the better. So whatever is cheap at the booze section in your local liquor store or supermarket. :)

I'll have to remember that vodka spray bottle trick if I ever get pulled over. "Really officer I haven't been drinking, it's just a vodka deodorizer to get rid of that puke smell in my car."

Spray stinky shoes with Listerine (saturate if needed) and let them dry over night. Reapply as needed. It works wonders in my son's shoes. They smell minty fresh!
