3. Vinegar Spray Solution

Mix white vinegar with an equal amount of water in a spray bottle. Spray on fabrics and allow them to dry. However, you should use it cautiously, as it may trim paint due to its acidic nature. The vinegar eliminates smells without leaving any scent. This hack is best suited for humid conditions.

4. Coffee Grounds 

Use an old sock and fill it with used coffee grounds, and then attach it to the rear-view mirror by string or whatever is needed. Coffee traps are excellent odour catchers. You can also add vanilla for that coffee-like scent.

5. Herbal Solution 

Soak cloth balls in peppermint or lavender extract; attach them to AC vents. The cold air will spread the scent throughout the trip. You can take dry mint leaves from your home garden.
