Stinky food odor in my car.. Help?

I picked up food from a caterer for a party and it spilled everywhere. I cleaned it the best I could and even bought Armin Hammer carpet cleaner(the kind you leave on and vacuum up) but it still smells. Every time I go into the car I have to spray fa breeze.

Anybody have any tips or suggestions.

    I would first clean the carpet and upholstery where the food spilled to eliminate the source of the odor. There is a foam on one by Woolite that you can vacuum up if you don't have a steamer or you can use the spray on type like Resolve with Oxycleaner that you have to scrub into the fibers. The I highly recommend the Lysol antibacterial fabric sanitizer because it won't harm the carpet or upholstery, kills the germs that cause the odors and leaves a pleasant scent.
