Leave the doors open for a couple days.

Throw some fresh ground coffee grounds around the van. It will eliminate the odor.

Never had success with coffee to control odors.

Leave my doors open every weekend and once a month scrub the floor with dawn soap weather permitting.

Coffee just covers up the odor. I hauled powered milk and had a bag rip open and they drug water in with the forklift and I had a bad sour milk smell I couldn't get rid of. I finally mopped the trailer with vinegar and water and let it air out and the odor went away.
