Unpleasant odor in the car can spoil not only the mood of the driver and create discomfort for passengers, but also negatively affect your health.

Interior cleaning

The first and main step in solving the problem is to thoroughly clean the interior of the car. It is better to apply for this service to professionals. If you will carry out the procedure yourself, then first carefully inspect the interior and throw away all the trash, wipe the dust from the surfaces and wash the mats. Then carefully clean the upholstery of the seats, for this it is best to use a vacuum cleaner with a special nozzle. For greater efficiency, use mild chemicals. Deeper treatment of the interior includes the use of steam cleaning or chemical treatment. Cleaning once a month will significantly reduce the probability of odors and contaminants.

Changing filters
