There are many reasons why cars have unpleasant odors such as: pets in the car, food spilled in the car, air conditioning, carpets, and unclean car interiors. Especially in hot and humid weather, the car smell becomes even more oppressive and unpleasant if no solution is found.
Find the source of the odor and how to fix it
If you notice an odor in your car, check the floor, interior, and every seat, crevice, and hidden spot in the car to find anything that is causing the odor.
Then remove the odor-causing agent, and this is also an opportunity for you to clean your car. It is best to keep the car space neat and airy, limiting the storage of unnecessary items in the car such as books, newspapers or personal belongings.

Deodorize with tissue paper
After cleaning, place a box of tissues in the car, this is a simple and very effective way because the tissues absorb the bad smell in the car, while also giving off a light scent that is not too strong.
Pet Deodorizer
Use a specialized pet deodorizer with enzyme ingredients that can remove pet odors in the car. However, do not overuse it because it can easily cause stains on the car.
Use baking soda
You can sprinkle baking soda directly on the seats and floor mats, close the car doors for a few hours or overnight so that the baking soda can absorb all the odors and disinfect the car.
Deodorize with coffee
Another simple way is to use coffee beans, just a small bag of coffee will make the space in the car smell much more pleasant.
Fishy smell from air conditioner
If there is a fishy smell coming from the air conditioner in the car, it means that the car's cooling system is having a problem. If not repaired promptly, it can easily cause damage.
Smell of gas
If your car smells of gas, you should call a mechanic immediately because it is possible that the car is leaking. Do not try to fix it yourself or use methods to cover up the smell, which can be dangerous.
The smell of tobacco
It is best not to smoke in the car because the smell of cigarettes is very difficult to completely remove 100%.
