You got in your car and there's a smell that bothers you. And you cannot find the source of this fragrance. First, check whether you have left a pack or package in the car. If there is a food residue left, it may have been the source of bad odors due to the effect of hot weather. If this is not the source of the problem, the only remedy should be to do a deep cleaning in the car. Our advice is to sweep your car first with a vacuum cleaner. In this way, you can get rid of the bacteria settled in the seats or in the interior of the automobile. However, do not forget to wipe the windows of your car from the inside and outside. If more than one person is using the car frequently, you should do this more frequently.

Stop smoking in the car

If you have a smoking car, bad odors never leave you. The smell of cigarettes may have even been on your car's ventilation unit. If the odor is increasing at a time when you start the ventilation system, you may need to change your ventilation system and the filter of this system. After you do all these, you shouldn’t be smoking in your car.

You have had your car cleaned, you have prohibited smoking in the car, but there is still a bad smell. At this point you have to take advantage of the miracle of carbonate. Carbonate releases many odors trapped inside the environment. Therefore, if there is an odor in your car, try leaving water mixed with carbonate in your vehicle. You can leave your water bottle in your car with its lid open. If this does not solve your problem, try to pour the carbonates directly into the mats. After staying in your mats for one day, you can clean the carbonates with a vacuum cleaner.

Charcoal could also work

If you still smell the bad odor, extend this period as long as you want. With charcoal, if you have humidity problems caused by wet seats or mats, you can solve this problem with cat litter. Place some cat litter that can trap moisture in it in a jar, put it in your car with its lid open and wait for the cat litter to do its job.
