An unpleasant smell in the car not only creates a feeling of discomfort, but also directly affects traffic safety. After all, the driver's brain will fight this smell, and not concentrate on the road. Therefore, it is better to take care of the smell inside the cabin in advance.
Instructions
Step 1
Be sure to hang a fragrance in the salon. It doesn't matter which one you buy: suspended or one that can be fixed in the deflector. Remember that this method only masks the unpleasant odor, but does not eliminate it. The effectiveness of such products is different and is often determined by the strength of the unpleasant odor: the stronger the bad scent, the more difficult it is to deal with it. Take a close look at the type of product when buying it, because many are aimed at neutralizing some particular unpleasant odor.
Step 2
Vacuum the entire interior thoroughly and wash it with special car shampoos or regular detergents. Pull out all carpets, covers and other interior fabrics that can be removed. Dry them thoroughly. Open all doors and trunk in the car, let fresh air get inside. Also, when driving on the highway, try to lower the windows at least for a short period of time to allow the interior to be ventilated.
Step 3
For the best elimination of the smell of tobacco smoke, thoroughly wash all plastic parts of the passenger compartment, clean the fabric and upholstery. If this is not enough, then purchase such fragrances that most effectively eliminate the smell of tobacco smoke and are sprayed on the upholstery. Try to smoke less inside the car and do not let your passengers do it.
Step 4
Treat the interior with a special deodorant to eliminate pet odors. First remove fluff from seats and other interior surfaces. Replace regular mats with rubber mats, which are easier to wash and clean and dry faster.
Step 5
If there is an air conditioner in your car, an unpleasant odor may come from it. The reason lies in the fact that after shutdown, a liquid accumulates in it, in which bacteria develop, emitting a cadaverous smell. Buy a foamy liquid with which to clean the channels through which air enters the passenger compartment.
