Best ways to get rid of car smells

1
CIGARETT E SMOKE SMELL The first step to removing
this smell is to stop smoking in the car. Next,
open all of the doors and windows on a nice,
warm, windy day. Then go over every surface with
a 50/50 water and vinegar solution.That should be
able to cut through the resin. If you have
trouble, add a couple of drops of dish soap to
the mix.
MILDEW AND WET CARPET SMELL The best way to deal
with this situation is to remove floor mats, soak
up excess water, extract it from carpets and
interior fabrics with a wet/dry vacuum, and set
up a fan to keep air moving with all of the doors
open. If the mildew has already done its damage,
then you are going to have to do some shampooing.
FOOD SMELL Food smells aren't difficult to
remove. More often it is related to an abundance
of fast food wrappers, some of which might
contain half-eaten sandwiches, a passed-over
trench fry, long-languishing lettuce, the gnawed
on bones of a not-so-recently-fried chicken. Look
under your seats. You need to throw that stuff
away! Good grief.
BODILY LIQUIDS AND OTHER ODOURS Bodily liquids
like urine, vomit, mucus, blood, and feces are
potent pollutants that will sour the interior of
any auto mobile. Absorbent powder is helpful in
this kind of situation, but you could use paper
towels, kitty litter, and/ or baking soda if they
are handy. If the liquid has dried, then you will
need to scrape up the dried matter,
rehydrate with water and vinegar, and extract
with a wet/dry vacuum .
NEW CAR SMELLS Carpet glue, chemicals from making
vinyl, drying paints, and hardening plastics all
do something called off-gassing. You really don't
want to breathe that stuff it's one of the
things that causes sick building syndrome, and it
is potentially carcinogenic. If you think you are
having a problem, only time will solve it
