Why Your Car Smells Worse in Summer (And How to Fix It Properly)

πŸ”₯ Why Heat Makes Smells Worse

Heat amplifies odours trapped in:

  • Air vents

What you barely notice in winter becomes unbearable in summer.

🀒 Common Causes of Bad Smells

  • Spilled drinks
  • Food residue
  • Moisture build-up
  • Mould spores
  • Pet odours

🚫 Why Air Fresheners Don’t Work

They only:

  • Mask smells temporarily
  • Mix with odours (making it worse)

They do NOT remove the source.

βœ… The Proper Solution

To fully remove odours:

  1. Deep extraction of fabrics
  2. Anti-bacterial treatment
  3. Odour neutralisation
