how to get rid of bad smells?

I hate to hear that ... I have been there too ...trying to get a smell out that just seems to have grown roots !! Anyway I found some information that might be helpful to you ....

If an odor is the result of some type of soil, such as a pet accident, remove it and clean the area thoroughly with warm, soapy water. If possible and weather permits, air out the room. Try circulating dead air with a fan to invite in new air from outside or another area of the house.

Of course, not all odors will disappear with a soap and water wash. Saturate soiled carpets and fabrics with a product or household item that will neutralize the chemicals creating the smell. Blot excess liquid from the area by covering the neutralizer with a plush towel, or several paper towels. Press the absorbent towel into the spot with your hand or foot. Never rub; rubbing only works soil and odors further into fabric and carpet piles. Soak up as much as you can, then leave the spot to dry.

Many commercial cleansers are good for neutralizing odors, but several common household products can be used as well. Vinegar is an extremely versatile grocery item that neutralizes many odors, including those left behind by pet accidents and skunk sprays.

Baking soda, whether applied dry to an area or mixed and sprayed with warm water, is another effective way to absorb and neutralize household odors. Baking soda carries the added benefit of absorbing moisture, so it often makes a good secondary application for a moist stubborn stain causing an odor. Citrus fruits like lemon and oranges deodorize and leave a pleasant smell behind. Using citrus juice on fabrics is not usually recommended, but they are good for things like running through garbage disposals.

There are always smells that cannot be neutralized at the source because the source cannot be accessed. For these types of odors, you need a product that can absorb the smell before it emanates throughout your home. A musty basement, stale smelling closet, or a hidden animal nest in an inaccessible wall may disperse smells that cannot be directly dealt with.

Like neutralizing odors, absorbing odors can be done with commercial products or common household items. Again, baking soda is an excellent odor absorber. Open a box and leave it an area, or sprinkle baking soda on a smelly carpet, wait and hour or more, and vacuum the powder and the odor away.

Other products known to effectively absorb and trap odors are charcoal and cat litter. Leave cat litter in any space in an open box or tub. With charcoal, you will want to control potential mess. Place charcoal in a container with several holes poked in it. Throw the entire assembly away when the scent is gone. Also like baking soda, these two products have a great ability to absorb moisture from the air. Charcoal and cat litter will especially help remove the source of the odor if it is moisture related.

A visit to your home will not be a comfortable experience if your home has offensive odors, nor will you enjoy living in your own foul smelling space. Follow these suggestions for eliminating odors through neutralization and absorption, and save the candle and potpourri for an added aromatic treat.

Good Luck and I hope this is helpful ~~

Clean it top to bottom -- if it has carpet, rent a carpet steamer. There are deep-cleaning foams you can buy to clean the upholstery, so use those. Scrub every surface you can find with a bleach solution to help eliminate both odors and bacteria. When it's clean, open the windows and let it air out. It may also help to put a few wide, shallow bowls full of white vinegar in the camper; vinegar is very good at absorbing odors, and the vinegar smell itself fades after a day or so.

Once you have given the camper a complete, top-to-bottom cleaning...and I mean carpets and upholstery shampooed, hard surfaces disinfected, etc...leave an open container of coffee grounds out for a few days to help eliminate the odor.

Good luck and happy camping!

Well, make sure you have eliminated the source (the mice), air everything out. Baking soda works to clean and also absorbs and eliminate smells, but it does have it's limits. Additionally, a carpet shampooer/steamer will work wonders. Once all of that is done, febreze (or a product similar). You pretty much have to do everything, and air it out as much as possible. I've also read that white vinegar helps eliminate some smells, but it seems like that would add other smells....but it's worth a try.

Good luck!

IMPORTANT: If carpet is involved: GET RID OF IT. Mice "droppings" contain airborne hazards that could kill you. Get a face mask, cleaning gloves, and eye protection (I'm not joking). White vinegar, floor brush, and start scrubbing. After it dries go back over it with something like Mr. Clean. Please make sure you call an exterminator for further help...they are the experts.

Use Dettol , diluted with hot water in a spray bottle . US? its a antiseptic /disinfectant. Don't know if u can buy it over there?
