A bottle of Windshield Wiper Fluid was left in my car's back seat and burst from the heat. How do I clean it u

I bought a bottle of windshield wiper fluid when I got my car to get the battery changed. However, I was stupid enough to forget about the fluid in my back seat and the whole bottle burst the next day because the car was out in the sun the entire day. all the fluid got on my floor mats and the rug on the back seat. Everything dried and the entire car smells like alcohol every time I get in. Also, the back rug/mat turned blue. I'm wondering if anyone knows how to get the blue off from the mat and the floor? This is very embarrassing and I feel very stupid for forgetting the bottle in the back seat.

I have heard that the Bissell Little Green Clean Machine is a wonder-worker for cars. I don't own one, but a couple of my friends absolutely love it.



It will re-wet the washer fluid and suck it right out.A bottle of Windshield Wiper Fluid was left in my car%26039;s back seat and burst from the heat. How do I clean it u
if you are mechanically inclined you can try to remove the back seat and soak it with the hose, This will not damage the upholstery, but it will get rid of that horrid smell. The mat you could do the same with. It may have been permanently turned blue though.

Well I have not much information to go on so I will just assume that your seats are either leather or vinyl, those you can just wash off with plain old warm water and a soft cloth, the mats however must be scrubbed with either dishwashing liquid and about half cup of White Vinegar then scrub with a brush if these mats have carpeting on them then it should be with a stiff brush but don't brush too hard you will tear up the pile just a gentle scrubbing action will do then rinse with hot water and allow to dry away from sunlight or heat these mats must be hung to dry Good Luck !A bottle of Windshield Wiper Fluid was left in my car%26039;s back seat and burst from the heat.

use detergent or soapy water to wash the floor mats and rug maybe will help get the smell out but the rug and floor mats probably are permanently blue you should change floor mats and rug



tips:

next time you go out bring a little notebook and record what you brought that day make sure to look at the list that you brought everything out of the car (and put a star next to things that cannot be forgotten like the Windshield Wiper Fluid)
