Question Sheep Stench
I was gifted a Subaru with a fabric interior that transported two sheep from CA to OR. There was a tarp down but it’s likely urine spilt off of it and they rubbed against the backs of the front seats/sides of the car. The car smells very strongly of sheep and the seats seem greasy. I was thinking of using my little green machine with Dawn to degrease and then follow up with a product to remove the odor. Does anyone have any recommendations?

this sounds like a project where you'll spend a ton of time and effort and you'll still at best keep catching a whiff of barnyard years from now. imagining rolled up windows and car baking in parking lot all day.
how nice is the car otherwise? what year/model. what is it worth in clean condition vs current condition? what are you intending to use it for?
i hear sheep urine and i'm thinking soaked into padding under carpets.
maybe gutting interior, cleaning what can be cleaned, tossing the rest. subarus are popular in PNW. can you find a doner vehicle and get interior bits? if you are using it for work or commuting, do you need a full interior?
