Does your car reek of pet odors?
We love our furry friends, but they can do a number on our vehicles. For us lucky few, it’s just dander and general animal funk. For the unlucky, foul “pet” odors come from mud, vomit, poop, urine, and everything in between.
For those in the latter category, I’m sure you’ve considered just torching your car and buying a new one.
But there is hope that your vehicle won’t be a smelly mess forever.
3 Tips to Remove Pet Odors
1. Get to the Heart of the Problem
Attack stains and embedded grossness first. This will help remove any residue of mud, organic matter, vomit, poop, and the like that might be contributing to the bad smell.
Use a heavy-duty, odor-free cleaner. You don’t want your cleaning supplies to mix with the nasty amalgam of other odors in your car.
2. Clean, Clean, Clean
Once you have taken care of cleaning the obvious stains and other suspicious dirtiness, it’s time to get to deep cleaning.
Pet odors can linger on surfaces throughout your vehicle. Make sure you vacuum, clean the upholstery, and wipe down all surfaces.
Again, avoid cleaning products with heavy perfumes. They do nothing but attempt to cover foul smells. Instead of helping, they often add another layer to the funk.
While you’re deep cleaning, go ahead and change out your cabin air filter if your car has one. These filters can absorb and be the cause of odors when they aren’t changed regularly.
