Let’s admit it, sometimes we forget to take care of our cars especially if we only use them for a few hours a day. But if we add up the time driving to and from work and time spent in traffic, we actually spend more time in the car than we think! The thing is, trash and dirt can build up pretty quickly in that span of time. Before we know it, our cars give off an unpleasant smell.

There's nothing like the fresh smell of a new car! Keep that scent for longer with these simple hacks that will teach you how to keep your car smelling fresh.


Ways to Keep Car Smelling Fresh All the Time


1. Throw your trash out

The best way to avoid unwanted scents from entering your car is to regularly make sure you don’t leave any food scraps behind. Make sure to take out all the scraps before you leave the car for the night so it doesn’t leave a lingering odor.


2. Clean the air vents

When your air vents get dirty, the air that enters your car will ultimately smell bad too, which is unhealthy! Make sure to tackle the vents inside your car then the upper and lower vents. You can also check the cabin air filter and drain the A/C overflow.


3. Shake out your floor mats

Small scraps and leftovers may fall to the floor and the accumulation of scrap on the mat may cause a bad odor. At least once a week, ensure that you shake out your floor mats so that trash and dirt won’t accumulate in your car.


4. Vacuum your car interiors regularly

Keeping your car clean starts with the habit of regularly vacuuming its interiors. Vacuuming is the surest way that all nooks and crannies are free from crumbs and unseen dirt that may be causing the odor.
