Refresh your car! Car freshners review

They have many different scents like new car smell, fresh linin, and cucumber melon, They last a extremly long time and are dirt cheap. They have a cool one that glows that plugs into your cigarette lighter and freshens the air and then vent clips if you need more scent.

i bought some crazy deodorizer spray bottles from ProShield or UltraShield or something and they have one called Tropical Breeze and its just unreal. Lasts a long time and more importantly, it a deodorizer, not just a cover-up. it kills bacteria and all that.

The vast majority of all air "fresheners" are highly toxic to mammals and are environmentally damaging as well. Instead I use some organic vanilla essence in water that comes in a little manual spray bottle, which I spray on an old tree air freshener. It lasts about two weeks per charge and smells wonderful.

We had a car come into the shop yesterday that smelled like someone soaked the entire interior in vanilla. I've used some little vent clip-ons, and they're okay even though they don't last long, but I've always heard a lot of people say they like to buy a box of soap, poke holes in it, and put it under the seat.

Ive read on various sites about the "dry cleaner sheet under the car seat" method. Any good? Most say it lasts much longer than normal air freshners and isnt an "annoying" scent.

I use that same thing , but the squash ran out so I just throw the coconut scent tree's inside the case. Works great and looks good too .

if you're cheap, my friend put candles on his dashboard and let the sun heat/melt it when we was parked, then put it away when driving. it brings out the scent and lasts forever. lol

I had a bunch of drier sheets in the back for a few days...I'm not lying when I tell you that my car was bounce fresh for days even after I took them out!

Lol that's pretty creative. If you're cheap, just go to the dollar store/99 cents store and buy a car freshener there. You could get four in a pack of those tree shaped things, or the ones that look like a jar with holes on the top. The one that looks like a jar lasts much longer. Lol and you could get four of those for the price you would pay at even a discount store like walmart ($3.99).

The guy who changes my oil sprays my favorite cologne...(Yes, I'd rather smell Polo than MY perfume) onto my in-cabin air filter...it lasts for-evah. LOVE it.

Apparently Bounce sheets are a good mosquito repellent as well. Nothing better that watching a mosquito pleading to get out of your car...
