All I know is Febreze worked wonders when I had a mishap with some fish
years ago. I got home from the store, unloaded the groceries and put
everything away. Wait a minute, where's the fish I bought? I looked in
the trunk but I didn't see it. Damn, did they not bag the fish? (End
of the day, I was too tired to care; I had the receipt and knew the
store would make good if they'd left it out.)

It was apparent the next morning they *had* given me the fish. The
package had slipped out of the bag and I just couldn't see it when I
looked. Whoa! The stench! I thought I'd have to buy a new car.

I sprayed the trunk/liner well with Febreze and let it air out all day.
The Febreze knocked that nasty spoiled fish smell right out. I'm
still driving that car.
