Help! Stain spill in car

13 years ago

Our granddaughter picked up a gallon of stain for us and set it on the front seat of her car. When she braked, the can hit the floor and broke open. My husband cleaned up as much as he could with paint thinner, but it's still pretty bad, especially the smell. If anyone has any suggestions, I would be so grateful. Thanks

You may want to take it to a car wash that does detailing. They have a chemical that will break it up and then they vacuum it out. Have no idea of the cost, but I would do it ASAP.
