How to Prevent and Eliminate Odors in Your Car: Professional Orange County Detailing Tips

Have you ever gotten into your car and thought to yourself “my car smells funny”
I think it has happened to most of us at one point in our lives.
Get that smell out with a few helpful tips.

Vacuum
Sometimes the odor can just be trapped in the fabric. Often vacuuming alone can eliminate these odors. Just make sure you are getting it all because odors can hide in small places.

Smoke
Cigarette smoke can cause a very noxious odor in your car. Smoke can even get in your duct system so make sure you spray a deodorizer through the intake valve as well!

Baking Soda
Rub baking soda on any spills you have had on the carpet, leave it on for a few hours, then vacuum it up. And Wala! The smells are usually absorbed by the baking soda.

Charcoal
Leave a chunk of charcoal in your car for a few days. This will absorb most smells that are radiating in your car!

Natural Air Freshener
You can put vanilla on a cotton ball, a container of ground coffee or even some mint extract or citrus oils in your car to help with the smells. It is better than smelling spilled milk or dirty gym socks!

Hire a Professional
