What do you guys use in your vehicles to keep that fresh smell. I usually drive with my windows open so I don't use the air much. Sometimes when I do turn on the air thier is a bit of funk oder. Not sure form what. I hardly ever use the air so I know the in-cabin filter is clean. I don't want somthing that hangs from my mirror or a cluny thing that clips to my vents especially since I don't run the air much.
 
Are you looking for a fresh, clean smell or something to cover up the A/C smell. You can spray some Natural Look into the vents and then you'll smll NL everytime you turn your air on.
 
lonewolf0420, I bought the Clean Air combo kit, but haven't tried it yet.

One thing you might try with your A/C, before you turn off the vehicle after running the A/C, turn the A/C compressor off and just run the fan. That helps to move any moisture remaining in the lines out and should help to prevent the associated molds/mildew.

In the wintertime I use NL in the heater vents as well.

In summer I use Fabreze on the carpets, and that works pretty good.
 
I use dryer sheets,You know the ones your wife sticks in the dryer to make your cloths smell nice. I stick'em in the floor vents in my car.
 
I use half a head of red cabbage- it absorbs all the odors , then when it wilts, and shrivels up, replace with remaining half.

I have never heard of that before......
I try to keep all the food out of my car, instead of bringing it in.
Where do you put it? Under the seat? What do you tell your passengers when a half head of cabbage rolls out from under there seat? LMAO....Just messing with you....:howdy

That sounds a little unorthodox. :) I would like to hear the explination you give to passengers. And does the cabbage not have a smell of it's own??
 
dude, i'm tellin' you, an old farmer told me this trick, he used in his farm truck-
NOT regular cabbage, that crap smells like a sewage plant( it has to be red cabbage) it absorbs like twice as much as arm&hammer,

you can use it in your house, or at your job, you can use it in a car, or on your boat, put it in your closet, right under your coat,.....just try it , you will see, just try it, and be like me.

I think i'm gonna try it out in a pair of sox..
 
That funky ac smell is there because you don't use it that much...an A/C repairman told me this. The moisture just sits in the system and ferments or mildews or whatever you want to call it LOL

you should run the a/c and heater regularly to avoid those smells IMO.


Instead of cabbage, I like to use old french fries. They not only absorb all the odor in the car but give off a nice odor on their own once they are finished.
 
Are there any recipes for used cabbage? I'm wondering if that would taste good in soup.

"hey Marge! I can taste that Burger King we had last year! mmmm mmmm!!"

I couldnt help it ;)
