Hi Brendan,

Activated carbon is usually the best solution to most smell issues, but if the smell has gotten deep into the fabric, then you may need to take the seats out altogether, remove the fabric (usually they’re zip-on or clip-on), wash thoroughly and then laboriously re-assemble. To be honest, your best bet could be to contact a really good local valeter...
