Scents and Foggers
For regular driving, essential oil based scents make for an enjoyable ride and long lasting automotive aroma therapy.
​
For emergency situations, a odor-removal fogger and enzyme spray are a more heavy duty fit to combat smells like smoke or dinginess from an old car.
Choose your scenting option based on your need.

Essential-oil based scents
Take a little of your favorite essential oil based scent and dab it on a cloth. Gently apply the oil onto an inconspicuous area of the car, such as at the bottom of the driver's seat or underneath the steering wheel.
Our recommend scents: vanilla, cedarwood, lemongrass, winter pine, and orange

Odor-removal foggers and enzyme spray
If you are trying to get a lingering smell out of your car such as cigarette smoke or the dreaded "old car smell," use a fogger and follow the instructions on the can. Typically, it's recommended to run the air intake system while you release the fogger contents and to let the car sit for at least 15 minutes before going back in. For smells that linger even past the first can, repeat once a week, until the odor completely fades.
​
If there is a particular source of the odor such as a milk spill, we recommended using an enzyme-based odor removal spray in addition to a fogger.
Fresh Start Pro Tips ✔Some professional detail shops carry ozone machines that can be placed in your car overnight. ✔Steam cleaning is also an effective way to remove odors from your car. If you have a specific odor source such as milk, you'll need to completely remove the source before your car will begin to smell good again.
