Your Car Needs This Fragrant Lifehack!

Of course, for the tea bag method to work its magic, you’ll need to give your car a good cleaning first. The tea may be magical, but it’s not a freaking Genie. Search every nook and cranny for stray chips, MacDonald’s wrappers, and forgotten popsicle sticks, and have your car thoroughly detailed and vacuumed. This prevents bad odors from making a comeback due to hidden sources. Scatter tea bags throughout the front and back of your car, focusing on placing them under the seats, in the trunk, and even in cupholders and seat pockets. Fresh tea bags are likely more effective, and choosing a tea with a strong aroma, like Earl Grey, Chai, or assorted herbs, will help spread the pleasant scent throughout your vehicle.

If you’re more of a coffee guy or gal, you can sprinkle freshly ground beans all over the car. The effect will be pretty much the same. Have you ever tried these simple DIY solutions? Let us know how that went!
