ryancivic has a little shameless behaviour in the past
nasty smell

i bought a 01 civic about a month ago and noticed a little bad smell on the way home but didnt think too much of it, now when people are in they noticed it and i decided to clean it today. i noticed two spots in the back that looked liked they had been scrubbed (floor) then i took out the back seat and saw sticky nasty gunk along with hairbands and barbie toys i tried my best to clean it with lysol wipes and then steam vaccumed the back floors i noticed holes that led out to underneith the car (almost like a drain system) and then when i got down to look it smelled horribly of throw up or something. now i have no idea what to do, i cleaned it the best i could and now it just makes me mad that such a nice car smells so bad. any ideas on how to "fix" it?

Carpet Fresh, leave it in for a while (couple of days) before vaccuming. You should also use some baking soda the same way.

dude take out all the seats, and go rent a carpet washer with the hand accessory and clean every little bit of the car. Otherwise take it to a professional detailer and they will know how to get the smell out!
