Anyone have any recommendations on good air fresheners or ways to keep the car smelling nice. I have one of those clip on air fresheners that attach to the fan but I can only really smell then when the fan is on and sometimes the car smells a bit musty. I Hoover it out regularly and get it valeted maybe once every few weeks

A small drawstring canvas pouch filled with Bicarbonate of Soda under the seat.

It soaks up all odours and just empty and replace every few months..cheap as chips.

And i use LIDLS Bonjour baby wipes to clean the internal trim etc, they've a pleasant smell...also the baby wipes are brilliant for removing fly splat off your bonnet, the flys wipe off effortlessly without scratching the paint, they seem to disolve with what ever is in Bonjour baby wipes...again..cheap as chips.

California Scents are recommended.

£3.99 at Halfords, or about £2 from eBay.

Stop picking up whiffy punters will help.

Start wearing expensive aftershave will also help.

But febreeze sprayed every day will be the cheapest way.

Our cars are cleaned inside every day by the mrs; they both have those "christmas tree" pine thingys dangling from the mirror to keep the fresh smell. An interior valet every couple of week and cleaned outside at least twice a week make ours the bet-presented cars in the area.

I use something called odour kill, it's £5 a gallon and will last you two years. I'm currently using Cherry, the customers comment on how nice it smells.

Spray it once a day on the floors and the seats then let it dissipate in to the fabric.
