You know.. they make fun but it really can be a problem. Do you run your A/C with the recirculate on (where it doesn't take outside air through the cab?)...

Your feet are the problem and the product to remove the odor is Soap and Water

j/k.....or am i.....

is your interior clean? or do u leave it a mess? clean it up try getting some car scent spray and set it to take air from the outside of the car, and see if that helps.

how about the filter? Also you need to have the engine on so it works good.

You really want your car to smell good again, strip all the seats out and get all the carpet out. Steam clean it twice and dry it properly. If you have cloth seats, do them too at the same time. Car will smell a thousand dollars better. To be really successful, everything must be dry before you reinstall. Bone dry.

It's also a good time to clean all that crap out from under the carpet and maybe lay down some quality sound dampening material.

Found a 9mm round, loose change, a gold earring and toys when I took my seats out.

Maybe its my feet.

Joke aside, i always turn the aircond so that air comes from outside. When i put my nose close to the carpet (after being cleaned of course, theres no smell.) What is the best product to use?

Would having the engine cleaned improve?
