Musty car smell: fix the cause, not just the smell
As soon as you turn on the air conditioning or heating, a musty smell fills the car. Passengers notice it, and you do too.
π€ Why does this happen?
Often the cabin filter, also called the pollen filter, is old and full of dirt and moisture. It should usually be changed about every 15,000 km or once a year.
An air freshener only covers the smell; the real fix is usually a new cabin filter and a clean interior.
β Solved in 3 steps
- Replace the cabin filter, making sure you choose the exact one for your car model.
- Clean the interior thoroughly, including mats and seats.
- Only then use an air freshener or aroma diffuser, as an addition to cleaning, not instead of it.
