How to remove very strong solvent odor from carpet and interior (leather) of SUV. Intend to purchase vehicle.
How do you remove very strong solvent odor from carpet/leather interior? An unknown substance apparently was spilled on cargo area carpet of a used GMC Yukon XL. Relatively faint smell initially. After vehicle sat for a day in the sun with the windows up, the odor had magnified significantly. After riding in the vehicle less than 10 minutes we experienced head ache and raw nose and throat. Dealer is attempting to fix problem - has had vehicle 8 days at this point - shampooed carpet at least 3 or 4 times - odor still there. I have already paid for the vehicle in full. Now I'm really doubting the purchase and wonder if I can get out of it. We really like the vehicle, but in no way want to be riding around inhaling possibly toxic fumes. Would appreciate any suggestions. Thanks!
