Lots of good tips here, I particularly like the tip for spraying vent cleaner into the the vents and running the A/C. I bought an old SUV from someone who loved to eat (and spill food) in it and their dog was a regular passenger. It took a lot of work to get it clean, I found dried cola and food in just about every crevice.

[@01123581321341]

I used the baking soda tip on fabric seats and it took the odour out overnight completely 👌

[@juffurey]

resolve high traffic carpet spray foam works amazingly in cars. scrub in it on the carpets, just let it sit on the upholstery. vacuum it up and the odors will be completely removed.

[@UZI9MMAUTO]

I buy ground french vanilla coffee. Out it all over, under the inside of vehicle material. I've let it set for 2 days at times. I Then vacuum it which smells great! Vanilla goes through plastics. 😎 Coffee grounds both absorb & replace odors. Leaving a nice coffee/vanilla scent. 👍 Try it.

[@lolman77]

Plus, small tip: cleaning the seatbelt is also what will fix your belt when it's not rolling back up anymore. It is not because it became stiff, because of the dirt. Hot water and cleaning will fix that.

[@joseandresberr5775]

Im a fireman and my Subaru xv was driven in the middle of a forest in fire, and it toke years to discover that the only way to eliminate the smell from fabric and plastic parts ways with vinegar. The situation is a little extreme, but I hope my experience helps somebody to solve similars problems. It was no posible to desamble the entire car, but now thw car smell better.

[@thebestcommentary788]

Did you spray or how did you get the smell out? I used vinegar in car before and the vinegar. smell lingered a long time

How to clean a child-seat. Awesome- can't tell you how much I was looking forward to this one. Give it a year or two and we'll get "How to remove chocolate-smears" and two or three years down the line the "How to remove grass stains from football-practise" ;) And no, I am not sarcastic- I honestly am stoked for all three vids :) I've learned so much through Larrys advice and when he learns new things (no matter if they are residue control or child seat-cleaning), he shares them so we can learn. Didn't use Shag on my seats till now or Mousse on plastic- will have to give that shot.

[@DetailxpertsNet1]

Many smelly problems in vehicles come down to mold or mildew growth somewhere within the car. During summer, when we rely on air-condition to help us survive the scorching heat, our cars are susceptible to growing molds. We usually have our windows closed during summer to have the cold air from the air-conditioner to circulate. That alone will make the mold thrive and survive inside our cars.

[@redtaylor4936]

I knew that the gas out effect had a bit of effect on me but my son couldn't withstand it. So I agree that we must keep windows slightly open when driving a new car.

Please. The guy dedicated his life to doing this job better and has the balls to actually spend time learning chemistry and formulating his own stuff that he feels is better than the competition. It’s like complaining that Ben & Jerry’s doesn’t show Haagen Daz ice cream. It’s not easy getting product into national channels and not necessarily even the best way to distribute. The guy does an amazing job educating the public. If he promos his own product in a video he produced himself and does a detail he does himself what crime is he committing?

Great video. I was also starting with baking soda. Is there a product that you know of to clean seats with odorless foam? I have a car smelling strongly like laundry detergent from the previous owner and it's hard to get out. It's smells nice actually but it irritates me. If baking soda does not work what kind of product would you advice for that?

[@xpsnitro]

Actually most people like the new car scent as do I. But it’s not just the idea of a new car. Of course having a clean sanitary car is a must, it’s the new materials plastics, leathers, etc etc that gives off the new car smell. Cleaning the interior the best we can is the best way to achieve that result and a happy driver.

Last summer my friend spilled about 2 cups worth of milk on my backseat. We were heading to work and I had no choice but to let it sit for almost 10 hours. When I got home later that day I just unbolted the seat and saturated center seatbelt buckle. I did not have the proper tools or chemicals to tackle this problem and I needed the car for work the following day. Here it is 5 months later. The backseat has been aired out for all this time but I don’t have a clue as to what I should do to make the seat safe to put back in the car. It’s a bench style seat. A giant block of foam wrapped in black cloth. I know hiding underneath the cloth is some nasty looking foam. 😔

[@berniecruz8405]

bro, although these steps help remove stains and such, the steps you've shown only masks the bad odors. They don't kill the bacteria that's causing the bad smell. Especially on cars where the driver is a smoker. The better and easier way to remove bad smells is to kill the bacteria that's causing the bad smells and that's by using a ozone machine. just 1/2 hr of it on in the car will kill all the bad odors
