THIS WORKS!!!! I rent my car on TURO and a guest returned it smelling of weed BAD! I used ozium, fabreez, all the common name brand solutions and NOTHING worked. I did this exact thing (with a larger bowl, so it didn't spill). I left it over night, in the morning the bleach smell was strong, so I ran the AC for 20 minutes to circulate in the filter, turned it off and opened the doors for 15 minutes and it smells PERFECT. I can't thank you enough! Now my next guest doesn't have to feel uncomfortable and it won't hurt my business.

When I worked for a big Ford dealership/Chevrolet store we just used a O-Zone machine in the cars. Worked perfectly ran it in the car with the window cracked for roughly an hour or two. “Car must be running with air circulation on”. Afterwards I’ve had cars that sat on the lot for months and no cigarette/animal smells never come back.

IT WORKED! I can't believe it! I bought a used car that smelled fine at the time, but the next day reeked of cigarette smoke. I tried cleaning the car, changing the filter, and using a "scent bomb". None of it worked. But this did! And it was so much more affordable than other options I researched.

Just tried this in gmc yukon denali we just bought. Only problem was dog/stale smell,,,, WOW this worked! Thanks

I'd been using Ozone Generators for a while, they work until the plates wear out. I've never used chlorine before, it seems like a great idea, I can't wait to try it out. I'm in Texas, and here marijuana is prohibited regardless of recreational or medicinal use, but I often find myself repossessing cars that smell like left over roaches.

Actual info at 2:34 mark

Also dont forget to change the cabin air filter

Ozone machine. Rental car agency secret to charging a $300 cleaning fee for running a $80 machine for half an hour.

Just want to say I love how real and concise you are! Can’t wait to get my hands dirty flipping cars and supplement my income! Thanks for all your info and help!

After detailing I'd put a lil Downy or Gain laundry soap under front seats, everybody likes fresh laundry.

u ever use a ozone machine? if its a smoker car. steam clean everything plastics fabrics, headliner. and then use a ozone machine. its good investment.

it worked very well ... thanks for the tip.

I tried it! And works quite well! Seems to stabilize smell! Gone use it in our dealership!

How long will the effect last and how often do you have to repeat this procedure?

Tried this and left sitting overnight almost 12 hours and used two disposable plastic cups with pool tablets/water one in front and one in back. I also sprinkled baking soda everywhere as well. The water in both cups had turned yellow when i checked this morning. The odor is not as bad i guess but you can still smell it with the chlorine "clean" smell. I left it in today while at work. This evening i'll vacuum it all out and see what happens. I bought the truck (Ext. cab F150) on Saturday with what i can best describe as a pet smell. It had been vacuumed out so no hair was really present with the exception of the glove box and crack/crevices.

Hey buddy, can you put a link for the chlorine tablet? That would be really useful.

Here's another trick I use on my cars. Fresh lemons are a natural dioderizer. Roll them until they soften, poke a few holes in them and throw them under the seats for a few days. Oranges work as well but not as potent as lemons.

Just keep in mind chlorine corrodes metal don’t overdue

MORE Good, Useful information! I have a lot of ways but ALWAYS open to something new to try so THANK YOU, Craig. You've been giving lots of helpful info on the channel like the vette lights with the extra piece GM stuck on the light. All sorts of good stuff from CRAIG - Thanks dude! And I see a couple thumbs down. WHY? You give information for FREE (HELLO?) for Free and people want to complain? You know, be it my TV, radio or KZfaq, if I don't click with something I simply change it! WHY on earth find fault with it? Just nuts but myself and thousands of others appreciate ALL your efforts.

We have to get the different smells in aircraft out. Smoke or lack of a better term somebody barfed. Chlorine dioxide containers left in overnight really do the job. Aircraft cabin smells like lavender fresh laundry or whatever smell you desire. Thanks for the tip. Take care and good luck.

Very cool! Thanks...subscribed. Another product to use is a product that deer hunters use called 'scent away'. Try it. Another one that is decent is called 'revivex'.

Bought a used car with dog smell in it. I can recommend the bleach to get rid of dog smell. After trying white vinegar mixed with water in a spray bottle (which left a residual vinegar smell PLUS the dog odor); a mixture of vodka and water in a spray bottle (another home remedy found online); Fabreze; leaving baking soda in a bowl overnight - two times.... I finally tried the bleach solution in this video. The first time it did nothing (perhaps because it was in the 30's since it's winter time and the bleach pool pellet didn't dissolve well). So I thought I'd give it one more shot with the bleach before looking for another solution. The second time using the bleach, I heated up water on the stove before adding the bleach to help the bleach dissolve better and then put the mixture in the car inside a red Solo cup. This morning the residual vinegar smell and remaining dog smell - which has gotten less after all these attempts, but not completely gone - was completely gone. But now I have a bleach smell in my car. It's not the "pleasant clean smell" that's mentioned in the video. It smells like bleach - which if you associate with "clean", then you'll be happy. To me, it smells like bleach i.e. a chemical smell. Better than the f*cking dog smell, but an unwanted odor nonetheless. I've left the car windows open sitting in the driveway and even drove around a bit with the car windows open. Maybe back to the Fabreze or some other pleasant-smelling scented product to get rid of the bleach smell...

A bowl of white vinegar works great too. When you park for the night. Place a bowl of vinegar to absorb the smells. Repeat for a few nights & it works. Always a box of baking soda helps a lot. I was a smoker & quit. Couldn't stand the smell of my vehicle, smokers can't smell it. Now I can!

Any ideas of how to get the smell of smoke out of the leather furniture?

For work I live in my truck. So do the other guys I work with. The trucks always smell like ass. I'm going to try this to see if it works. Thanks!!

Did exactly what he did in three different cars twice and all that happened was they smelled like chlorine for a couple of days and when that went away the dog smell came back! This absolutely does not work!

So what about the vents? Wouldn't running the AC clear them out? Did this help with that without running the AC?

Thank you for the video. How long does this last? I’ve tried everything on a car I bought including the airvidox smell remover with no joys.

Is there alternative machine for the ozone? A cheaper one?

so how do you get rid of the chlorine smell?

the cloro tab trick is nothing more than a stronger smell. There isn't enough to do anything beneficial. Too rid the car of smells, use ammonia. Yes, everyone says dont use ammonia based products. If you leave the ammonia lying around it will cause damage - so dont leave it lying around. Use a diluted solution of ammonia/water and with a rag wipe the surfaces, and within a few minutes wipe again with a clean water rag, thus not leaving any ammonia behind. Ammonia is your friend is you use it the right way. Same applies to the ozone genny, its needs to be powerful enough (min 3g/ph) but dont leave on for too long, 30 mins max. The ozone can cause hydrogen peroxide to form in undesirable places, so probably best to dehumidfy the car first.

Friendly tip, always wear gloves when handling the chlorine tabs. They can burn your skin but are also carcinogenic and can cause Cancer from handling them over time.

Trying this now in my sisters car now. She has 2 big dogs and they STANK!!!! Hope it works.

But does it get rid off cigarette smell

thanks definately gonna try that chlorine tablet trick

Good video I had to deal with it the hard way. But a quick tip of mine is to spray scent repellent on the floors like the kind we use for deer season on our clothing it worked on a SUV I had

Have you ever tried Electrolyzed Water? So simple - just salt and water, but needs to be electrolyzed to change the structure to HOCl. It becomes a really good cleaner, with a neutral charge that cleans better than most household cleaners, kills all the germs and bacteria that cause odour, and reverts back to natural producs so is environmentally friendly! We have tried this with cigarette smoke and it's been effective as well!

A good ozone machine works. It will also kill every living thing in the car. Cig smell, rodents, insects gone! Good ones will run about $100 on Amazon.

Actually your trick on removing smells from home or car; the following works real well: Get a plate or food storage container (without a lid). Place a slice of white bread on the plate or in the bottom of the food storage container. Add about 1/3 cup of liquid bleach on the bread (should see a small puddle of liquid bleach around the bread). Place the plate or container in the area with the doors and windows closed. Leave in the closed area for 24 hours. Remove the plate or container and air out the car or house.

My name is corey solomon i need a video explaining the pros and cons of a floorplan for a very small dealership is it worth it or just buy your cars with cash your help will be much appreciated i love your channel keep up the good work

good trick .. but i dont think it will work with cat piss (any trick here Craig) ?

I’m trying it right now. Love the ammonia tip at the end. Thank you!

Wow this is mind blowing

Hey thanks for the tips but DONT touch this stuff w/o gloves

I’m gonna try this!

Craig could you clean and detail inside of my semi? How much would you charge

I could not get Ozone to work on pet odors. It did work on gas and smoke smell.

Thanks.

Great idea except chlorine and ammonia creates a Mustard Gas like toxic reaction…

So...............How long do the results last until you have to do it again?

would normal granular chlorine work the same?

Good info to have

Craig, ever let the car run with ac on and no air from outside coming in?

I had a few questions...The store by me was out of the clorine tablets but they had the small bags of granules. How much should I put in a bowl of water? I read that it can be flamable. Also, where do you dump this solution afterwards? It's not good for toilets or sinks. Please let me know.

Wowwww. Did anyone try this trick? Did it work? How long did it eliminate the dog odor for? Any feedback will be greatly appreciated

These chlorine tablets caused electrical issues in my car. Be careful people Radio volume, blue tooth and low tire light all malfunctioning. Heat is occasionally blowing full blast even though it’s turned off. Doest really work on fabrics like the seats .

I wonder if this will work in my house for dog Odors

Have you tried chlorine dioxide?

How do you get rid of the smell of Meguiar's Whole Car Air Re-fresher citrus grove scent? It was used in a used car I purchased, and I am sensitive to chemical smells. Ozone? What would work?

Good video🔥

Would this work if I set this underneath the hood of my car to get odors out from mice. I don't really smell it in my car at all. But I'm just paranoid the smells under the hood. Thank you. Obviously it's not something I would move the car with it underneath the hood

Hi what is product name and where can I order

Sounds like the Seinfeld BO episode 😂😂😂

Just did this for a trailblazer ss I purchased about 4 months ago! I’ve cleaned the interior spotless but that dog smell still lingered!

great idea! I'll have to go pick up one of those tablets.

Have you ever tried regular liquid bleach?

Vinegar or chlorine don't work comes back ozone is the only thing that works.

thanks i love you video and info

Pretty cool. Thank you :)

Will this work with laundry chorine bleach ?

Exactly what I looked for

Where do I get those chlorine tablets? Walmart? Drugstores?

Do you have to put a current inspection sticker with your dealership number on it when you retail a car?

GREAT GOB!

I don't think I would put a chlorine Tab in a vehicle. Anyone with tools knows you do not store those in your garage with your tools or they will start rusting

I want the gym and swimming pool back 😄

You’re a pro

Try not to breathe in the fumes when breaking up the chlorine tabs. That stuff is nasty & bad for the lungs.

Is that the same bleach tablet that you put in to your toilet reservoir

I've always heard ya gotta use an ozone machine, but this looks a lot cheaper!

Ozone???????

Do you leave the cup in the holder or is that for overnight only?

What is your solution to all that white stuff on that car roof?

You should let people clean their cars before you receive them, then you can do further cleaning when you got them,

How long does it last?🤔

How long has the clorox application worked? Does the smell come back at any point?

You don't clean the vents your likely spinning your wheels. Much like a apt.

Thank you just will try it out

Works, and it’s cheap 🚘

That is disgusting man! Why would people allow their vehicles get to that point. Excellent Video thank you for sharing.

can you just use luquid bleach?

let me try that, I will send you a feed back.

Can I use a bleach toilet tablet?

I’m not sure how to use vinegar in a car but I soak my bath towels in hot water and vinegar in my washer for 30 minutes and the run it and no more odors. Probably would work in a car too.

Do you really need the chlorine tablets, can't you just use chlorine dissolved in water?

Will this have any affect on window tint?

The word will be clarinated

Ozone Machine

It was hard to see how much chlorine you used, was it like a couple of tablespoons ?

The cheaper easier ways to use a cup of vinegar
