Had a trailer with a full load of garlic, been working two days cleaning. Have tried all the normal things to get rid of the smell, nothing is working. Anyone have any idea's?

Coffee. Years ago the company I worked for would get their new Wabash trailers out of the Lafayette, IN plant, and the 1st load we usually got with the new trailer was out of an aluminum can plant not far from there. The problem was, they wanted an odor free trailer and the new trailers still had that freshly painted chemical smell. So the shipper suggested that we buy a 5lb can of coffee and spread it around inside and close the doors for an hour or so, then sweep the trailer out before they would load us. It worked so well that the any time you were dispatched on a load out of there the load comments would include doing the coffee trick if you were pulling a new trailer, and they would reimburse you for the purchase of the coffee.
