Hey guys, one of my friends spilled milk all over my shift gate and heater controls on the 2nd Gen TL. I did my best to soak it up with the napkins i had in the car, but we were on the freeway so I couldn't do anything else about it. After I got to the parking lot, I got some more tissue and soaked it up, and it LOOKED ok... but I know some of it leaked under the shift gate...

So now my cars starting to smell like spoiled milk, and I was wondering if you guys had any suggestions on what to do? Is there a specific cleaner I can use, or should I just get some water and a towel and try my best to clean the area?

Any suggestions would be great thanks!

 

you will get a lot more responses to this in the tl forum- you should take your console/shifter area apart and clean everything out in there, the milk most definitely dripped down underneath the console. The console only takes about 20 minutes to take apart.

 

take everything apart, clean it up and fabreeze the car. You'll be ok though, dont cry over spilled milk. du dum pshhh.

 

My response was gonna be along those lines, thanks for taking care of it for me

 

And who drinks milk anywhere but home? :ghey:

 

Get some friends your own age...stop rolling with 7 year olds that drink milk!!!

 

Nobody brings any food or drink in my car.

 

Get a professional to clean it after you get your friend to agree to foot the bill.

 

If I left it alone would the smell go away eventually?

 

Yeah, but you'd be legally able to drink beer by then

Sour milk is not a kinda smell I'd want to live with...

 

you will want to remove every thing in that area and really clean id deodorize with fabreeze
