Advisable to go for those steam cleaning? Would try to change aircon filter & see how.

 

U mean use those charcoal for BBQ?

 

Yup , those normal charcoal will do . I normally cut holes in those plastic bags to hold the charcoal to prevent staining the car interior .

Activated carbon/charcoal is different from normal charcoal.

It is also more costly.

Short term solution: Charcoal. Charcoal filter. turn off aircon + turn on max fan+ turn to fresh air mode 10 mins before reaching your destination. this will reduce the condensation in the condenser and reduce the mouldy smell.

Long term solution: find out the cause of the foul smell. eg dead animal? something stuck at your aircon blower, condenser or air inlet?

I am driving new Toyota Wish and I had the same thing a few month after driving...even after nano detox and it came back after awhile....at the end, listened to the service engineer, removed the perfume in the car and the smell go away :)

Do not use any car perfume/freshener; though they will mask the odour initially, these will inevitably lead to a sourish smell developing.

 

The smell will be very obvious when you turn on the air con during a rainy day after you have parked your car in the open for a few hours.

please do not say buy another new car......

[flashbang]

Got a bit tired of the air freshener smell as it seems to have entered the aircon vents. Will I be able to remove it by removing the air freshener and using those charcoal deodorizer?

use the left over lemon or oranges after you squeeze the juice. i just place them at the side of the floor mat openly.

it helps to eliminate smell and insects too.

Actually anyone with a bad smell in their car

 

can hire my MIL. After she has been inside

 

the bad smell will be gone forever.

 

There will be an even worse small after that.

Use baking soda. Definitely works cos my toilet now no baby diaper poop smell after placing baking soda in the toilet. Cheap cheap buy one big box from NTUC.
