A car is a small space, so smells build up fast. The good news is that a few easy habits make a big difference.
Habit 1: Take your rubbish out every time
Wrappers, cups and old receipts are the number one cause of a stale car. Keep a small bag in the door and empty it when you fill up.
Habit 2: Vacuum the mats
Dirt and crumbs trap smells in the carpet. A quick vacuum every couple of weeks keeps things fresh.
Habit 3: Open the windows now and then
A few minutes of fresh air on a dry day clears stale air better than anything you can hang up.
Habit 4: Keep it dry
Wet coats, gym kit and damp towels left in the car lead to that musty smell. Take them out the same day.
Habit 5: Wipe down the surfaces
A quick wipe of the dashboard and door cards removes the film that holds on to old smells.
Habit 6: Add a scent you actually like
Once the car is clean, a hanging diffuser gives it a pleasant background scent, with no plugs or batteries. Pick a scent family you enjoy and go one step lighter than you would wear, because scent builds up in a small space.
