Clean it, air freshener, febreeze auto.

Scarborough, no idea though.

It's not the car, it's you.



;-) j/k

Try buying some carpet/upholstery cleaner at crappy tire see if that helps.

don't smoke/fart or eat in your car than it will smell nice lol and no pets haahahah I guess I fail in all categories that's why my car stinks too!

Make sure you don't have wet areas under the carpet (from melting snow, seal leaks, etc.) so you don't have mold.

Also, you can try changing out the cabin air filter if your car has one (2005+ come with one installed). Note that changing the cabing air filter is a slight PITA as you have pull out the PJB to get at it.

Check to see the funk isn't coming from your vents. If it is, Canadian tire has a spray for it. It usually comes from mould in the ducts which grow if you let condensation form inside (happens when you run the AC in the summer and then turn the car off)

I've got 1z Einszett Klima-Air in stock - $20 if its the Vents (Air Conditioner)

I've also got Chemical Guys Odor Neutralizer (enzyme based that eats bacteria) however you'll need to identify where its coming from or spray everywhere. ($10)

Your carpet is most Likely wet... Crank your heat up and make sure it's on the bottom vents and this should dry the carpet

does it stink like sweat? Then its most likely the carpets. Check our our sponser Concours and see if he is willing to tackle your interior. Also, you might want to check your cabin filter if the smell stinks after you turn on the vent.

If your cloth mat's are soaked it can cause a horrible smell ( sweaty shirt's left in the car for week's kind of smell LOL), you have to dispose of the mat's or wash them in a washing machine. I just threw my carpet mat's out and rock all weather mat's from mazda, they do the job fine.

you need Sopure odour eater. It's a photocatalyst, permanent odour solution
