Germs, grime, and impurities build up inside your car and can cause your vehicle to smell, which is why auto detailing is so important. Car detailing removes these contaminants so your car smells fresh!
Here are three of the top reasons the inside of your vehicle might smell:
1.) Eating in the Car
As eating on the go becomes the norm, more cars are starting to smell like the food inside them. One of our team members who used to deliver pizza joked that their car permanently smelled like a pizzeria. Leftover food containers leave an odor that lingers even after they’ve been thrown away. Liquid or takeout food can spill on seats and carpets, leaving upholstery with unsightly stains and unpleasant smells. Worst of all is the food you forget about: the apple core left by a child in the back seat, the fast-food bag that got stuck and forgotten under the seat, or the coffee that has been sitting in the backseat cupholder for a month.
2.) Pets
Our furry four-legged friends are lovable, but they bring a lot of dirt and allergens into the vehicle with them. If you frequently ride with your dog or cat (or bird, reptile, bunny, or guinea pig), they could be bringing contaminants into your vehicle. Those particles settle on your upholstery and carpets, and pretty soon you have a smelly car. Not to mention the hair or fur on your seats, and the allergens and dander that accumulate, making a car ride uncomfortable for those with allergies.
3.) Everyday Use
Americans spend a lot of time in their vehicles. We climb in and out of our cars several times a day, tracking dirt and pollutants in with us. When it rains or snows, we bring in even more of a mess on the bottom of our feet. The everyday use of our vehicles means we put a lot of wear and tear on them, and it shows.
These are all issues that may make you wonder, “Why does the inside of my car smell?” Fortunately, Central Automotive can help! Our detailing service can help rid your car of unappetizing odors.
