When you open the door of your car and sit comfortably behind the wheel, do you feel a pleasant smell wafting through the interior of the vehicle, or is there an unpleasant smell that haunts your nose? There may be many reasons, some of which depend on you, such as smoking in the car, traveling with a four-legged pet, transporting purchases in the trunk, or simply lack of regular cleaning. There are also those that result from the use of the vehicle, such as unwashed ventilation, worn-out cabin filter and water collecting on the seats in the winter.
What causes a bad smell in a car?
There is no one universal cause. The smell in your car depends on how it is used and how you take care of it. Some drivers smoke cigarettes in the car. Thus, the upholstery absorbs the smell of tobacco, which is very difficult to get rid of with typical cleaning techniques. Water and mild detergent are not enough. Food residues also don't smell good, which is not uncommon when we transport large amounts of purchases in the trunk and are not properly secured. We cannot rule out the possibility of getting red sauce on the seat while eating in the car.
Mold is also the cause of the unpleasant smell. Increased humidity in the car contributes to the growth of fungi. It most often appears in the autumn and winter, is brought inside under shoes or is caused by leaky seals. When wondering what smells so bad, also answer the question: when was the last time you replaced the cabin filter? Also look for the source of the unpleasant odor in dirty air vents and the air conditioning system. Do you already know where this smell comes from?
Removing the causes of unpleasant odor
If you already know the source of the unpleasant odor, you can take action and remove it. In most cases, it comes from the ventilation and cabin filter, drivers often neglect the need to take care of these elements of their vehicle. Viruses, fungi and microorganisms collect on the evaporator in the air conditioning system, just like in the air vents. So you need to clean the air supply and ventilation. You can do this without tools by applying CleanAir preparation refreshing and cleansing the air vents and ventilation system.
Also ensure the appropriate level of humidity in the car, especially in autumn and winter. It is worth cleaning the upholstery regularly to remove condensed water vapor, as well as the doormats, where water accumulates under our shoes. It is important to check all rubber seals before the winter season to see if they need to be replaced. They are responsible for protecting the interior of the vehicle against moisture. If possible, e.g. if you have a heated garage, leave the car open for several dozen minutes or even several hours.
Unpleasant odors resulting from smoking, food remains on the seat, but also from air conditioning and too humid air can be removed with an unpleasant odor absorber. It is designed for this NanoSilver odor absorber from Moje Auto, ensuring freshness and eliminating the sources of unpleasant odors. It uses nanoparticles smaller than 100 nm, which is why it is more effective than traditional odor absorbers. You can use it whenever you feel that your car does not smell good.
How to prevent bad odors from forming in your car?
Prevention is always better than cure. Remember a few important things and your car will always have a pleasant smell. Replace the cabin filter once a year. Check the condition of your ventilation and air supply, do not smoke in the car, and protect food products against possible contamination of the upholstery. Regularly use an odor absorber that does not mask the unpleasant odor but absorbs it, which guarantees greater effectiveness. It is also worth using car fragrances, e.g. an air freshener in the form of perfume-soaked granules, enclosed in a colorful bag, gradually releasing the scent.
