Some help please. (Not Pretty)

Hi guys. So I need some help.

A friend threw up in my car! I mean all over the front seat, himself the floor everywhere. I need to go somewhere to clean it up ASAP because it smells and looks inbearable. Will a car wash place be able to get the smell out and all that sh*t? Any1 have a clue on what I need. Ive never had this happen before so I need to know what could be done. I live in LI so if any1 knows a good place please let me know. thanks.

Sounds like someone had a fun party on St pattys day.

Id say, grab some degreaser and start scrubbing. Use a carpet cleaning machine for the floors and seats (if they are cloth). Only thing you can do is clean it very well. Let it air out once you are finished.

+1 for the carpet machine. You'll want to use an extractor to get all the residue out, otherwise it will continue to stink.

Happy St. Patty's day!!!

Absolutely hit it up with a carpet shampoo machine. Either do it yourself or if you can't deal with the funk pay someone to do it.

Either way the spewer is responsible for the costs and should be walking not hitching a ride with ya.

Dude you rent a machine. From a grocery store or some other place that rents them by the day/week.

I don't think I could deal with the mess either. I'd pay a detail shop. They can clean and deodorize. Just my .02.
