Place charcoal paper under the car mat might help, absorb moisture and bad smell!

perhaps you are the bad smell and you brought your bad smell into the car. try not driving your car for 2 to 3 weeks and the situation will definitely improve. no need to do anything

You need to find out where the bad smell is coming from first. Most of the time it's due to moisture which can cause bacteria or mold to grow.

Change aircon filter. Check where source of smell. Replace car mat if smelly. Use air freshener

If it's comomg from the air con then you can try two things.

 

1. Run air con at higest temp for 15 minutes or so.

 

2. Run air con at lowest temperature for 15 minutes or so.

Not promoting this product. But I found it to be useful. Spray on my mat like once in every two weeks. Bought at Autobacs abt $20. Can used for a few months.

If it's a sourish smell, replacing the aircon filter will solve the problem.

Place charcoal all over car , if possible park under hot sun in the afternoon for one day . 

 

Afterwhich , always leave couple of pieces of charcoal inside car , change once every 2 months . 

 

I do smoke in all my cars , charcoal absorbs the smell , creating a very neutral smell that even non smokers cannot detect any smoke smell . 

 

Worst thing to do is to use those air fresheners . It always create bad smell after a few months .

Park and don't drive.

Park, don't open door and don't drive. In months smell will still be there.

sodium bicarbonate. 100% works.

The best smell is NO SMELL.

 

But if you want a good smell, try this Eagle brand eucalyptus spray.

It will kill germs and remove the bad smell.

 

However, you still need to find the source of the bad smell and get rid of it.

Yup if you spill something. On the mats or car carpet. Else why would there be a smell in the car?
