How to remove odor in the car, 10 tips to know in advance

A new car you buy will have some peculiar smells, or there will be smells of smoke, decay, mold, etc. These odors are difficult to remove by washing the car, so you need to choose some tips and methods to remove these odors.

1. Lemon : Although there are various kinds of car perfumes on the market, Miss Li doesn't like them. She has her own tricks to deal with the odor in the car.

Buy two lemons and keep them in your car, it's that simple. If you want the effect faster, cut the lemon into slices, put a few slices on the air-conditioning outlet, and then turn on the air conditioner. Soon the air in the car will become clean and fragrant.

2. Pineapple : One day when I was riding in a friend’s car, I saw a pineapple on the back seat of his car. It looked a little wilted. If you brake suddenly, it will roll to the ground. My friend said pineapples are used to improve the air inside the car. "I saw that putting pineapples in saunas can remove odors, so I tried it in my car. I didn't expect it to work so well. This pineapple only cost me two dollars, and after two or three days, it 'absorbed' all the odors in the car."

In fact, the effect of adding pineapple peels and pineapples is almost the same. You can ask the uncles and uncles selling pineapples on the roadside for some pineapple peels. Haha, it doesn’t cost any money. If they refuse to give it to you, spend some money to buy a pineapple and they will give it to you. This is a great move!

3. Tropical fruits: In fact, in addition to pineapples, there are many other tropical fruits that have this special effect. Tropical fruits grow in tropical and subtropical environments with plenty of sunshine and rain, and have a particularly strong fragrance. The fruit contains a lot of water, and the strong fragrance can be emitted for a long time, making it a natural "air cleanser." The effect is good and the method is simple. It is most suitable for tropical fruit producing areas. However, the cost of using this method in the north is slightly higher.

4. Orange: The car owner Mr. Yao’s secret remedy is orange. He said he had tried several kinds of fruits to remove odors from the car, and felt that oranges were the most effective. You can try it to see if this is true, but oranges are cheaper than pineapples and lemons. I think if oranges can do it, then apples can do it too.

5. Burnt honeycomb coal: honeycomb coal with complete shape, refer to the adsorption principle. However, almost no one uses honeycomb coal in cities now, but it can still be seen in small towns or rural areas. A special reminder: this method can also remove odors from car refrigerators.

6. Vinegar: I bought a new car recently. I was so happy to finally have my own car. However, the pungent smell in the new car made Mr. Xu very upset. It really fits the lyrics of the song "makes me happy, makes me sad". Opening the windows more often can speed up the dissipation of odors, but you can't leave the windows open when you leave the car. Well, the clever Mr. Xu has his own simple and convenient trick, which is vinegar. The odor of a new car is often a sign that the air inside the car is polluted and may be releasing harmful substances such as formaldehyde and benzene. When you are not using your car, fill a small bucket with water, add some vinegar and place it in the car. Try it a few times and the odor will gradually disappear. The reason is: water can absorb formaldehyde, and vinegar can stabilize formaldehyde.

7. Onion : Onion, which is pungent, can it also remove odors? Of course it does. I remember seeing an introduction on a TV program: cut a few slices of onion, put them in a basin of water, stir it, and then place it in the newly renovated room to remove odors. This method can be used in cars with a slight modification. Cutting a whole onion into four cloves and placing them in the car is very effective, according to Ms. Ma.

8. Use less acidic perfume seats : It should be noted that most car owners like lemon-scented perfume seats, but most of these perfumes are acidic. After being emitted, they accumulate on the air-conditioning evaporator and are prone to mold and deterioration, producing odors. This is why using these perfume holders after the odor has already occurred will have the opposite effect and deepen the odor. If you like perfume very much, it is best to choose a neutral one with a lighter scent.

9. Car air purifier: Buy a car air purifier, such as the car oxygen bar series of the Odeo Group, which costs about one hundred to one thousand yuan. It can remove odors in the car, allowing the driver to breathe fresh air, ensuring a clear mind and quick reaction. At the same time, it eliminates respiratory infectious bacteria carried by passengers to ensure their health. However, the price is much more expensive than the other 9 methods.

10. Reduce the source of odor: The best and most practical way to completely remove odor is to reduce the source of odor as much as possible. For example, moldy floor mats, seats, clothes, ashes in ashtrays, cigarette butts, etc. The smell of these debris is mixed in the car and evaporator. Especially in summer, the smell will become stranger and more unbearable. Therefore, you should insist on cleaning the car compartment and trunk, and try not to leave shoes, clothes, dirty rags, etc. in the car for a long time. The glove box, ashtray, etc. should be cleaned regularly, and the air conditioner should be turned off and the windows should be opened when smoking in the car. If you park your car under the sun in midsummer, the temperature inside the car will reach around 60 degrees Celsius, so food and fruit must be taken away in time.
