Interior and Trunk Odor from Rotten Orange

I forgot and left a rotten orange contained in a plastic bag in my trunk. I'm unable to rid the interior and trunk of the smell. Its not as bad as it was initially, but certainly not a pleasant smell in my opinion. I've sprayed ozium and febreze with no such luck. As suggstions to rid my car of the odor? Thanks.

If none of that works, rent/buy and ozone machine. We rented one when we moved into our new apartment after the previous owners stunk it up with cigarette smoke. It really worked in the house and I've heard of automobile applications.

Take it to a car wash that does detailing. Have them shampoo and clean the trunk. It'll look like the day you bought it.

I used an ozone machine for my vehicle for a horrible smoke smell from the previous owner and it made a world of a difference. It was only a couple of dollars to rent it for one day and it was totally worth it.
