Well, looks like you're doomed.

Would just smell like roasted garlic then. LOL
Just sprayed 6 cans of febreeze in the condenser while it was running, seems like it's better. Let it run for an hour or so and see how it is.

Probably nothing but time going to reduce the smell.
CampaChem... non-formaldehyde formula has a pretty potent floral smell. I use it for its disinfectant properties when hauling fresh chicken or other meat.
Mix a couple ounces with a gallon of water in a sprayer and mist the floor and walls, then fire up the unit and spray a little in the air return.tscottme, BennysPennys, Bean Jr. and 1 other person Thank this. -
Load it full of chicken guts…. It won’t smell like garlic anymore.

Got some stuff we use for chicken, didn't seem to do much of anything. The febreeze in the condenser seems to be doing something. I'll wait an hour or so and check it again.Dave_in_AZ, blairandgretchen, Feedman and 2 others Thank this.

I was loading sugar at Domino in Yonkers. The trailer next to me was a grocery delivery picking up a backhaul to his DC. The trailer reeked, and this old timer told the driver to use coffee. The grocery hauler let out a tirade of words that will get a post deleted on TTR. The old timer (probably was younger than I am now) and I started talking about how nice a "thank you" could be even if the suggestion is no help.Cattleman84, Feedman, hope not dumb twucker and 3 others Thank this.

First(if possible)
Steam clean sanitize washout...,Before they finally rinse the trailer..,,have a bottle of vanilla extract with you.,,,spread it liberally on floor and walls....& spray it on chute(again if possible)
Let it sit few minutes....Cold water rinse....very well
If that doesn’t do it....drop it and report it stolenDave_in_AZ, Cattleman84, Hammer166 and 2 others Thank this. -
Febreeze sprayed in the condenser did it. Down to a garlic field in the springtime now. I'll leave it open until next week and send it out. Problem with oils is some customers reject from that odor.Dave_in_AZ, God prefers Diesels, blairandgretchen and 5 others Thank this.
