If the inside of your vehicle smells unacceptable, we at Upstate Auto Service & Body Works can help. We've developed the following tips through our experience with autos brought to us for service in Saranac Lake, NY.
Odors can have simple remedies. You might clear them from your car by merely cleaning its surfaces. Start by emptying any trash present in your cabin. Next, wipe down all hard surfaces. Then, vacuum all soft surfaces. If you have stains on your upholstery or floors, use a car-grade carpet shampoo. With your vehicle's interior clean and dry, inhale to see if you can detect any unpleasant smells.
Should you encounter persistent odors, purchase a container of odor neutralizer. This product type differs from air fresheners. Those mask odors. An odor neutralizer will remove them. For smoke odors, you may need to spray the odor neutralizer into your air conditioner's intake vents. You'll find those between your windshield wipers and the edge of your hood.
