How to Deal with Musty Smell in the Car?

Bamboo charcoal has strong adsorption capacity, which can absorb moisture, chlorides, sulfides, formaldehyde, and other harmful substances, as well as deodorize and purify air and water quality. Bamboo charcoal has a bidirectional humidity regulation function, which can maintain the humidity balance inside the car, inhibit the growth of microorganisms, and provide a dry, healthy, and comfortable car environment. Using an air purifier can remove odors in the car. Air purifiers can release high concentrations of negative ions and ozone. They can also absorb dust and particulate impurities in the air and decompose harmful substances and allergens in the air, effectively purifying the air.
When there's a musty smell in the car, I first open the windows to ventilate and let fresh air circulate. Then I check for sources of moisture, such as inspecting the carpets and seats for mold, especially in areas prone to water accumulation during rainy days. I use a vacuum cleaner to remove dust, sprinkle some baking soda powder and leave it overnight, then vacuum it up the next day to eliminate odors and bacteria. I also lightly spray a mixture of white vinegar and water in the air and on surfaces, which is a natural and effective way to remove mold. For prevention, I always clean the air conditioning filter regularly to avoid blockages and moisture buildup that can lead to mold. Additionally, when parking, I leave a small gap in the windows to allow the car to dry. Neglecting this for too long can affect health; last time, I ended up spending a lot of money repairing the air conditioning system because I didn't address the issue. Remember, keeping the car free of clutter and ensuring it's well-ventilated and dry is key.
