Be sure to thoroughly clean it, preferably by taking it to a car wash shop for a good cleaning. If the car is not in use, open the trunk when idle and let it air out in a sunny place to allow the foul smell to dissipate into the air. Bamboo charcoal has the effect of absorbing and removing odors. You can place some bamboo charcoal in the car trunk to eliminate the smell.

Oh, I've encountered the issue of a foul meat smell in the trunk before, usually caused by accidentally leaving meat products inside without timely cleaning. First, remove all residues and packaging, then scrub the entire area with a wet cloth and dish soap, paying special attention to crevices and corners. Next, sprinkle baking soda and let it sit overnight to absorb odors, vacuuming it clean the next day. If the smell persists, drive with the trunk open for ventilation or park in the sun to speed up dissipation. For prevention, I always use insulated bags for meat after shopping and make it a habit to clean the trunk weekly to avoid long-term dirt accumulation. These simple methods have saved me a lot of trouble and made the driving environment much more comfortable.

What should I do if the exhaust pipe sprays water excessively?

Excessive water spraying from the exhaust pipe is a normal phenomenon. The reason for water spraying from the exhaust pipe is: gasoline is fully burned in the engine, producing carbon dioxide and water vapor. The water vapor condenses to form liquid water, and when a certain amount accumulates in the car's exhaust pipe, it is discharged through the exhaust pipe. Car exhaust pipe maintenance tips: 1. Waterproof: When driving in the rain or going to the car wash, be careful to prevent water from entering the muffler and causing rust, which will affect the use of the exhaust pipe; 2. Rust prevention: Remove the muffler, block the drainage hole, add rust-proof oil evenly into the cylinder, and then reinstall the muffler; 3. Cleaning: The exhaust pipe is often exposed to the outside, similar to the interior of the car. Internal dirt can affect normal use, so pay attention to the cleanliness of the exhaust pipe.
