Deodorising your car

As life goes on, it can sometimes be difficult to keep on top of maintaining the interior of your car. Cars will accumulate different odours over time if not well taken care of. This can be from spillages of food and beverages to pet accidents. Unfortunately, this can develop into musty or stale lingering odours in your car, which conventional air fresheners can only mask for so long.

What causes bad car odour?

Cars can sometimes become a dumping ground, especially within family cars. Unfinished cartons of juice can be left hidden in car doors, damp dog blankets can be left behind in boots, and moisture can build up over time if cars aren’t correctly ventilated.

Several factors from daily life can lead to unpleasant odours in your car. This includes the following:

Top tip: Run your AC system every few weeks for a short period to keep regular maintenance and allow for better air circulation.

Health risks associated with car odours

As bad smells build up, especially from spillages and damp patches, bacteria and mould can form. Not only is this unpleasant for passengers, but can lead to the risk of fatigue when driving. With mould and bacteria, comes the risk of respiratory problems or allergies. Simply opening a window won’t solve the issue. This calls for a more penetrating, deep clean.

If you’re experiencing a persistent bad odour in your car, it’s important to identify the source to address it effectively. At A1 Car Valeting, our expert team use the specialised AROMATEK method for deodorising vehicles. This permanent solution uses dry vapour from essential natural oils, leaving a fresh scent that lasts longer than typical air fresheners.

The AROMATEK method penetrates deep into the vehicle’s surfaces, from leather seats to fabric mats. If you are concerned about future spillages and triggering allergy issues, we provide fabric protectors to keep your upholstery clean.
