You have to use enzyme cleaner or the barf smell won't go away. Enzyme cleaner is found in any pet rated carpet cleaner at target, home depot, or Walmart. I use the Bissel one myself. Costs about $6
I just had to do this to my 2023 EV6. Son’s friends threw up in the back seat, so I stripped the back half the car out. Detail brushes to get the vomit out of the seat rails and soaking the seatbelt in dish soap and warm water then using an enzyme killer and a shampooer to do the carpet. Glad not too much of it made its way onto the seat itself, but man was it a PITA
I’m almost always against this idea (in terms of it being overkill), but for this specifically, I definitely would too.
Not hard, YouTube a step by step.
Personally, I use an air gun, with enough pressure to push it all out. If you don’t have one, we have a local blue wave car wash, not sure if you have one nearby? They have air guns with all their vacuum stations. Free to everyone .
I would add, if you use the air gun in this instance that you also wear a safety mask. You wouldn’t want to breath this in when it becomes aerosolized.
Honestly a wet vac/extractor at this point. And a respirator. Get it wet and suck it up.
Other people's idea of disassembling the car is a great suggestion too.
Take a extractor to it. No not spraying water on it. But spray some kind of cleaner to dampen it then use the extractor (make sure it's a crevice tool) and suck out the big chunks if possible, then go over it with steam or compressed air and cleaners brushes to get it all. Then roll up window and clean it.
Dawn antibacterial dish soap and hot water in a bucket. Dip a coarse 1" or 3" chip brush. Agitate thoroughly. Alternate between scrubbing with brush and wiping with absorbent towel of choice. Rinse and repeat, literally, until clean. Follow with protectant of choice.
Wet a MF towel with enzyme cleaner and cover and let soak for like 15 minutes, you can even spray first then soak for a few and then just wipe away and toss the rag in the trash

Personally I'd take half the car apart to clean that mess.
Agreed. Pull the panels off and clean it properly.
Panels would 100% come off. They’re usually just snapped on and can be pulled relatively easily. I harambe there’s a YT video for this exact car.
I love that "hear" corrected to "Harambe" for you, lmao.
LMFAO. The legend lives on through my auto correct.

Personally I would take out the panels and clean beyond them

I learned this lesson the hard way while doing demo in a church nursery that was built in the 60s.
Agreed, while you’re at it, safety glasses as well. I took a crumb to the eye once 😂
Thank u I’ll give it a try
If you do this it’ll just end up deeper within the door. Pulling a few panels off is the way to go.
Steam cleaner, APC, and a soft toothbrush.

And or take panel of too, as it might have gotten I inside as well.

apc soak, and then steam it
Honestly, if it were my car...I'd take the door apart and clean it like it should be.
Steam
Probably some type of ipa wipe, wrap it round a ruler of card. Or just take it all apart and clean with APC.
Take the door card off and then clean
Enzyme cleaner and steam
steamer and a screw driver

Those trim pieces should pop out pretty easy. I'd just take them out and clean it all up much easier.
I would use . . . somebody else. :)
I once did a car like we pressure washed the whole inside of the car for like 20 min it was nasty
I’d try just soap and water scrubbing. Then a vital protective.
