    I'm not a smoker, but I left my car to be wrapped, and they had my car for two weeks. When I got it back, I almost threw up in it!! They had so much smoke fumes in it that I had to leave my windows down for four days in the garage!! That helped, but I still smelled that little stinch. So I cleaned and conditioned my seats, and that did it. I sprayed some febreeze in the headliner before I did the seats. Then put an air freshener in to top it off..

    1. Don't smoke in your car
    2. clean up after yourself each time you leave your car
    3. clean your car weekly, a vacuum, brush down and even a spritz of carpet cleaner will go a long way.
    4. wipe down the interior with APC, as long as you don't use harsh APC or a diluted APC and wipe down the residue afterwards then your interior won't mind it too much.
    5.Get rid of stains as soon as possible, get a scrubbing brush and carpet cleaner then go to town after you vacuumed out your car.
    6. Don't use air fresheners, if you have to then my advice is to grind up the air freshener, put it in a coffee filter and run water over it into a spray bottle, spritz that under the floor of the drivers and passenger seats... heat rises and so do smells
    Do not do the lick test, not only does it not work but I don't think you should be licking the exhaust pipe of your car, there are some parts of the car that get hot, such as under the carpet of the front passenger compartment is the catalytic converters, trust me on this they run hot by design and transfer the heat.

    Im not a professional, but I drive a lot and my car gets smelly from time to time and here’s what I do:
    1. Cleanup the inside of my car.
    2. Turn my heat on high recycle.
    3. Spray about 1/4 bottle of Ozium inside of my car.
    4. Leave the car running for about 30 minutes.
    5. Open the windows and let the car air out for about 15 minutes.
    It works great and it’s pretty easy.
    (Of course change the cabin filter about once a year)

    if anyone could help me, my special needs sister peed in my front seat, I managed to remove the pee and odor of the pee from the carpet underneath but now the carpet (not the removable ones) spells heavily like chemicals despite using water + wet vac, also I took the seat out and sprayed the bottom side of the chair with a sanitizing spray but now the seat smells a lot like this gross spray and still a little bit of pee, there are a lot electronics attached to the seat so I can just water it down, I've used baking soda on the carpet and wherever I could on the underside of the seat, I aired out my car and sprayed fabreeze, any ideas how to get this horrible smell out? would a bunch of car fresheners work?

      Similar to how Larry showed in the video. Remove the cabin filter, close the cabin filter door. Start engine, run hvac on outside air full cold full fan speed and spray some lysol or equivalent into the fresh air intake. Shut car off, let sit a few to allow lysol or cleaning agent to soak in killing the fungus or bacteria.
      Start car, run hvac on fresh air, full cold full fan speed with windows open to clear cleaner out of car. Install new cabin filter.

      I use Ozium which is at Walmart, auto stores, Walgreens. It has an actual air disinfectant in it, so it really helps with the musty moldy smell that air conditioners can get. I recognized the smell in hospitals too when rooms are getting disinfected between patients. You don't want to breathe the stuff too much yourself, even though it has a nice sweet smell. I spray it in the air conditioner intake, then run the a/c on recirculate for a few minutes with the doors closed and the windows up, while I wait outside the car.
