For pet throw up on our rugs I soak the spot with vinegar and then completely cover it in a thick coating of baking soda. Leave it overnight or until totally dry and then vacuum it up. Not sure if it will work on the straps but maybe worth a try. Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-get-the-smell-out-of-the-car-seat-straps#post-1271128 Tue, 10 Dec 2013 08:41:07 +0000 Mamaof2 1271128@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: no I didn't - with just water? dish soap? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-get-the-smell-out-of-the-car-seat-straps#post-1271115 Tue, 10 Dec 2013 08:35:05 +0000 looch 1271115@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Did you try scrubbing them with a soft toothbrush? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-get-the-smell-out-of-the-car-seat-straps#post-1271110 Tue, 10 Dec 2013 08:33:43 +0000 Mamaof2 1271110@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD threw up in the car and I washed the cover - so that smells fine but the straps still smell horrible!!
