No matter how careful the driver is, over time an unpleasant smell begins to appear in the car’s interior, for example, due to an accidentally spilled drink or the smell of cigarettes.
To get rid of it, many drivers prefer to hang car air fresheners. But they only temporarily mask unpleasant odors. So how to get rid of them?
We present to your attention 5 simple but effective methods.
Vinegar
Pour a small amount of vinegar into a bowl and leave it overnight in the car. In the morning, there will be no trace of the smell. As for the smell of vinegar, it is enough to open the car doors for a while to air out the interior.
Activated carbon
It is an excellent absorbent and effectively copes with almost all odors. Take several containers and put 7-10 tablets of activated carbon in them and leave them overnight in the car.
This method is considered one of the most effective and can even deal with cigarette smell.
Coarsely ground coffee beans
They can be placed in small containers and placed in the cabin in several places. Or you can pour them into a small canvas bag and hang it as an air freshener.
As a result, there will be no trace of unpleasant odors. But at the same time, the car interior will be filled with a pleasant aroma of coffee.
Baking soda
It is suitable only if the smell has been absorbed into the seat upholstery. To do this, sprinkle the seats with soda and leave overnight, and vacuum them in the morning.
This method will not only help you get rid of odors, but also refresh your upholstery.
Apple Cider Vinegar with Cinnamon

Then we pour it into small containers. We cover them, make small holes in the lid and leave them in the car overnight.
By morning there will be no trace of the smells left.
