I have a funny smell in my used corolla with fabric seats -- my son says it is like "cat farts" (whatever they smell like? and how would he know?). Suggestions for ridding car of this semi=foul smell (car recently detailed and shampoo of seats left seats moist for a day or so),.

Most likely a mold problem.

Remove seats and get a mold killer from most autoparts stores.

Vacuum entire seat surface and the seat fabric MUST be completely dry before installing.
