Question about cleaning a car seat

Im wanting to clean my sons car seat, since we have to get him a new one, and use this one for his sister on the way. Is there any way I can clean the foam thing that's behind the cover? It comes out of the carseat. I just don't want to ruin it. Plus it smells like cigarette smoke after I've told my bf 10000000 times DO NOT SMOKE IN THE DAMN CAR!

    Prob just water and let it air dry

    Make sure its the one that pops off and just hand wash with soap and water... It maybe better to check the manifacture and see how much a replacement might cost... usually its pretty cheap.

    @blessedtxmom thanks I'll try that. I always use white vinegar to get smells out, but I don't know if it would make the foam fall apart.

    Febreeze!! Totally takes smell out if water doesn't.

    I would try Febreeze for a few days in a row, and also letting it sit outside in the sun and fresh air.

    @natashalynn @summergirl22 I ended up throwing it in the washer with lots of white vinegar. I HATE the smell of Febreeze..it gives me a headache.

    Oh and it held up through the wash? Delicate cycle? I guess it's stronger than I thought lol...machine washed, even better ;)
