Which Air Freshener Is Best For Cars? – The Smarter Shopper

preview

Skip to contentThe best air freshener for your car depends on the answer to two questions: What do you want your car to smell like, and what kind of air freshener device do you want to use?There are all sorts of different ways to make your car smell like a bunch of different scents – or smell like nothing at all, if you just want it to smell clean. Below, I’ll show you the best ways to get your car smelling great with a ton of different air freshener options.Let’s take a look at all the options for adding scents to, and removing bad odors from, your stinky car:One of the most popular air fresheners used in cars for many years has been the hanging air fresheners that are shaped like pine trees.These air fresheners are small, cheap, and are available in a large variety of different scents. There are also other brands who offer similar hanging air fresheners. You can take a look at the options here:Vent clips are the next most popular type of air freshener for a car. They will often produce a stronger scent than the hanging air fresheners listed above, which makes them more useful for adding a fragrance to your entire car instead of just the front seat.Febreze is the most popular brand that has vent clip-ons available, but there are also some other brands as well that have different fragrances. Most vent clip-on air fresheners are going to work about the same regardless of brands, so just choose whichever fragrance sounds like it’s your thing.Since Febreze’s product page doesn’t list every scent option together, I had to go and find them all for you. So, here’s the Febreze scents listed individually, and then the other brand pages which contain all their scents:Even if you use a hanging or clip-on air freshener in your car like the ones I listed above, it’s still a good idea to keep a bottle of air freshener spray nearby as well.You never know when you might be picking up a friend or family member and you want your car to smell extra fresh right away. A spray bottle is the best way to make your car smell better as fast as possible in an emergency.Below, I’ll show you one good option for odor elimination called an ozone spray. Ozone is a natural gas that destroys odor particles, without leaving a new scent in its place after it dissipates. There will only be the mild smell of “fresh rain” when the ozone gas is still lingering for a short while after you spray it.The other spray bottle options are for adding new fragrances to your car. These won’t remove odors but will do a good job of covering them up instead. Obviously, odor removal is preferred for a long-term solution, but covering up odors is just as useful when you’re in a rush.On the opposite end of the spectrum from instant spray bottles is long-term odor removal options. These options aren’t focused on adding new scents, but on removing bad odors that show up in your car over time.If your car regularly has bad odors introduced to it, such as from smoking or transporting stinky food or animals, then you should definitely invest in one of these devices.The two main types of odor absorber for a car are bags of activated carbon, and canisters of odor-absorbing gel. And frankly, both of them function very similarly. The bags of carbon and the canister of gel will both absorb odor particles that drift around your car, keeping them out of the air and thus out of your nose.The bags of carbon will not produce any scent at all, whereas some of the gel canisters will produce a mild “fresh” cleaning product type of scent. Take a look at them both below:The gel can that I linked to in Option #4 is made primarily to absorb odors, but will also produce a light scent. However, the gel cans in this section are not made to absorb odor particles.Instead, they will just produce a strong new scent for your car. The benefit of these cans is that they are available in more scents and are focused solely on producing the scent of your choice instead of trying to absorb odor particles at the same time.There are a few different brands to choose from, all with a variety of great car smells:An air freshener bomb is a container of pressurized gas that can destroy the bad odors that linger in every crack and crevice of your car.When opened, the “bomb” will spew out a massive amount of odor-destroying gas, completely filling up your car. If you leave the air conditioning running while the air freshener bomb is working, the gas will even get into your air vents and destroy odor particles there.These air freshener bombs are one of the best solutions for removing deeply-embedded car odors, such as the smell of smoke that is caused by regularly using cigarettes in the car.You can get an air freshener “bomb” in two varieties. The first is one that will destroy odors and replace them with a strong new smell, and the second is one that will destroy odors but without adding a new scent to your car.As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.
