Maybe some baking soda would absorb the odor.

Try this: Soak the area thoroughly with a mixture of 1-2 cups plain white vinegar mixed in 1 gallon warm as you can stand water, then use lots of clean white towels and a brick, clamp or something else to add weight (your own arms will do, too) to wick out all of the petroleum and water solution. Follow with a rinse of warm water mixed with baking soda (1 1/2 cups per gallon), then again wick out until as dry as you can get it.

no, after quality checks (one leads to another), beer gets consumed so user ends up lacking will or cleaner to finish what he started... i've seen some cleaners use steamer. maybe this would work ok. my dealer has sign offering to clean a car inside out for under $100 and "restore new car smell" that apparently makes cute girls jump in arms of car owners.
