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.
