How to get rid of unpleasant odor in your car?
Below, we will show you the best ways to get rid of unpleasant odors in your car, which are as follows:
Use perfumes and air fresheners
One of the simplest steps you can take to remove unpleasant odors in your car is to use air fresheners and essential oils that keep your car smelling fresh all the time, as there is a possibility that these odors will disappear due to the air fresheners that will overwhelm them to the point that you will not be able to notice them again.
Change the air conditioning filter
If you notice an unpleasant odor in your car when you turn on the air conditioning system, it means that the air filter for the air conditioning system is old, clogged, and needs to be changed. This filter purifies the air before it enters the cabin, and when it becomes clogged and filled with dirt, it will emit a moldy smell. All you need to do is replace it with a new one, and the smell will disappear immediately.
