How to Solve the Strong Odor in a New Car?

[MelanieLynn]

Solutions for strong odor in a new car: 1. Ventilate the car, especially by airing it under the sun. If conditions permit, open all four doors to disperse the smell; 2. Use fruit peels like peeled pomelo or orange peels; 3. Place some vinegar in a narrow-necked bottle; 4. Purchase activated carbon bags or air purifiers. However, activated carbon bags need to be sun-dried every few months to release absorbed odors, and the air purifier filter should be replaced promptly. Carpets, interior rugs, and ceiling felts used in the car have a high emission of harmful substances. Most of these materials are bonded with phenolic resin glue, which uses formaldehyde as a raw material. During use, it continuously releases unreacted free formaldehyde into the air, resulting in a long release cycle and significant potential hazards.
