1 Answers
Methods to remove odors from a car include: 1. Open the car doors to ventilate before driving; 2. Place activated charcoal bags to absorb odors; 3. Put fresh lemons, grapefruit peels, or pineapples in the car to release fragrances that mask odors; 4. Place a small bowl with a mixture of vinegar and water in an inconspicuous spot inside the car—vinegar can stabilize formaldehyde, while water can absorb it; 5. Regularly clean the dashboard. The causes of odors in a car are: 1. A burning plastic smell caused by overheated or short-circuited electrical components; 2. A dirty air filter leading to unpleasant smells when the AC is on; 3. A gasoline smell due to a damaged fuel tank; 4. A burnt smell caused by worn-out brake pads.
