cleaning up after mouse infestation

If you haven't dealt with this before, be sure to wear at least a painter's mask and gloves when cleaning up the bulk of this mess - it's nasty stuff and can hurt you.

I would physically remove what can be seen, and it's a good idea to look around for more. I've found 2-3 nests in the same car before. For hard surfaces once the crud is gone, I wash with hot soapy water then spray with Lysol. When that dries I spray with some stuff called Angry Orange Odor Eliminator and let that dry. It may take a dose or two to kill the smell.

For the carpet, taking it out is a good idea to clean and treat underneath. To get the smell out of the carpet, I went to a commercial janitorial supply store and got some stuff called Urine Digester. You can mix it up and soak the carpet in it, then rinse it out. It may take more than one shot to get all the stink out.
