That's about as bad as it gets...I would suggest you find a detailer or dealership with an "Ozone Generator" machine, it permeates every porous surface on a molecular level (with activated oxygen) and is often the last ditch effort when other efforts fail.

It will be necessary though, to have you / them disinfect the leather and plastic areas by hand as well though, both before and after. If you're motivated ,It wouldn't hurt to clean it via mechanical means first, i.e. a quality odor eliminator and or foam cleaner and brush, remove seats etc. (don't forget headliner-just don't saturate it, use a foam upholstery cleaner) Allow everything to dry and then the ozone generator. Not overkill in this case.

Good luck, I'll be rooting for you, this will not be easy.

I have used the "Skunk Off" product and it works great! I've heard the other product works as good.
