The quick answer
Remove the source, treat the fabric, then add a scent that keeps it fresh. Dog, gym kit and takeaway smells all live in the seats and mats, so a fabric spray does the heavy lifting and a diffuser keeps it smelling good after. Both together are £21.98 and ship free.
Some smells arrive with a passenger and never leave. The dog after a wet walk, the gym bag you forgot in the boot, Friday night's takeaway. Each one needs a slightly different fix, but the method is the same: get rid of the cause, refresh the fabric, then keep it fresh.
Dog smell
Dog smell sits in hair and in damp fabric. Vacuum the seats and boot slowly with a rubber glove or brush to lift the hair first, then let everything dry fully. A blanket or boot liner that you can wash at home makes the next trip easy.
Then: a light mist of fabric spray on the seats and boot carpet once dry.
Gym kit smell
Sweaty kit in a warm car is the fastest way to a stale cabin. Take the bag out the same day, every time. If the smell has already settled, wipe the seat where the bag sat and leave the windows slightly open on the next dry day.
Then: fabric spray on the seat and footwell, and a fresh scent on the mirror.
Takeaway smell
Food smells cling to door pockets, cup holders and mats. Bin the packaging the moment you get home, wipe any spills and shake out the mats. Grease on a hard surface will keep releasing smell until it is cleaned.
Then: a clean, bright scent to reset the car.
For a deeper reset, our guide to getting rid of a stale or musty smell covers damp and air flow too.

Your questions
Will a scent cover a dog smell on its own?
Not for long. Remove the hair and dry the fabric first, then the scent has a clean car to work with.
Where should I spray the fabric spray?
A light mist on seats, mats and the boot carpet, from a short distance, once everything is dry.
Will a glass diffuser leak?
Our glass diffusers are designed not to leak, when used as directed.
