Moth Balls

Re: Moth Balls

I bet she's an awesome car! I like the old Caddys.

If the odor eliminator from Meg's doesn't work, I was going to suggest what Coupe said. Hopefully the odor eliminator will work, though. Like you said, the odor from mothballs is one of the hardest to remove. Good luck with it and let us know how well it worked!

Try baking soda. Buy a few boxes of it and open them up and set them on the floor, front and rear. Leave the windows up for a few days. It might work.

Someone else suggested it. I know moth ball smell is one of the HARDEST to remove. UGH! The car is ABSOLUTLEY gorgeous (If you love Caddys from the 70's) but that smell even sticks to your clothes when you ride in her! I will see if it works. YES, the car is BIG!

Re: Moth Balls

I suggest you try Meguiar's Odor Eliminator. It's fairly inexpensive, so you might want two bottles, depending on how bad it is (isn't that a fairly big car?). You just spray it on all carpet and cloth anywhere.

Here's the link to it on Meguiar's website. You might be able to find it locally too. I've seen it at part stores and Home Depot.

In November I acquired a beautiful, original 1976 Cadillac Coupe DeVille that was MOTH-BALLED in a garage. The car is near perfect except for the smell that lingers inside. I have aired it out...I have placed containers of coffee grounds inside to absorb the HORRENDOUS smell, and am still getting that nauseating smell when I get inside. Now that the nice weather is upon us in NJ...what else can someone suggest I use to elliminate this nasty, old smell!!!
