Fabric softener sheets work too, speaking of leaving it in the heat. Stick them under the seats, stuff them down in the seats, etc.

Members of Congress should be compelled to wear uniforms like NASCAR drivers so we can identify their corporate sponsors.

Febreeze is supposed to be good at removing odors. I like the baking
soda idea, too.
Generally, I just try to cover it up...I'd buy some essential oils, like
rose oil or lemon oil and sprinkle it around inside the cab. I'd put it
on the dashboard, the seats, the headliner, etc. Park the truck in the
sun and let the heat work the oil.

Baking soda is great for both stain removal AND smell removal. You can
sprinkle it all over the upholstry and brush it in. Leave it a few days and
then use the shop vac to remove it.

I recently made a very good deal on a used pickup. It is a '93 Nissan with
55,000 miles, one owner and well maintained. It needed nothing, tires
were
new, oil changed recently, new battery. It runs great, getting almost 26
miles per gallon with my running around. Its only problem is the PO was
an
extremely heavy smoker. In fact he died as a result of heart failure and
had lung cancer. I have scraped layers of smoke off the steering wheel,
head rest, gear shift, door panel. Some places it was thick enough to
peel
away. With all the scrubbing there are still stains and there is the
smell
of tobacco.



I am wondering what I can use to clean the stains and get rid of the
smell.
