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.

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.

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!

@Adrian-ii1ro3 жыл бұрын
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.

We have tried this with cigarette smoke and it's been effective as well!

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.
