We all know there’s nothing better than that fresh, new car smell! You open the door and you’re welcomed with a wave of freshness, with hints of leather, new plastics and fresh upholstery. At FRSH Scents, we know how much we all love to keep that experience alive. In this article, we’re going to help you make your car smell brand new with some helpful tips and, of course, our premium car air freshener range.
What Gives the New Car Smell?
That unforgettable new car scent comes from the materials used in manufacturing, like the plastic, leather, and seat fabrics, which release a distinct, “New car” scent. Over time, the odours dissipate, and with them, that coveted "new car smell."
But don’t worry, at FRSH Scents, we’ve got just what you need to keep that fresh, clean feeling going!
How to Make the New Car Smell Last
If you’re lucky enough to have a brand-new car, keeping it smelling like it just rolled off the lot can make that new car excitement last longer. Here’s how you can maintain that fresh scent.
1. Regularly Vacuum Your Car
Vacuuming your car’s seats, floor mats, and interior is essential to keep dirt, crumbs, and pet hair from piling up. If left unchecked, these can create a stale, unpleasant odour.
2. Clean Your Floor Mats
Soiled car mats are the killer of fresh scents. Over time, dirt and moisture get trapped in your floor mats, leading to a musty smell. Be sure to wash your mats with detergent and warm water, then let them dry thoroughly before putting them back in your car. It helps if you’ve got a designated upholstery cleaning vacuum that can withdraw as much moisture out the material to aid in drying times.
3. Let Your Car Breathe
It’s easy to forget that your car needs fresh air just like your home. After sitting for long periods, the interior can develop a lingering smell. Leave your doors open for about 15 minutes before you drive to circulate fresh air and reduce odours. A key detection for moisture inside the cars is for moisture on the inside of your windscreen on cold days.
4. Clean the Air Vents
Dust and dirt accumulate in your car’s air vents over time, which can lead to unpleasant smells. Use a toothbrush or a special cleaning brush to scrub them clean. If you notice a mildew odour, consider replacing your cabin air filter.
FRSH Scents: Your Key to That New Car Smell
Now for the best part – FRSH Scents offers a line of car air fresheners designed to bring back that new car scent and keep it fresh for weeks! Here are some of our top picks:
FRSH Scents New Car Scent Spray
Our New Car Scent Spray is formulated to recreate the crisp, clean aroma of a brand-new vehicle. Just a few spritzes can instantly refresh your car’s interior, and it’s long-lasting, so you can enjoy that scent for days. For longer lasting fragrance, we recommend a few sprays under your seats and your car mats.
FRSH Scents Vent Clips
The FRSH Scents Vent Clip is a must-have for anyone who loves a consistent, subtle release of fragrance. Attach the vent clip air freshener to your air vents, and it will continuously deliver that new car smell as air flows through. You will get an intense burst of fragrance when warm/hot air is being blown through the vent.
FRSH Scents/Gumball Ultrasonic Diffuser
The Ultrasonic diffuser is a great addition for keeping your car smelling new. Not just because it releases fragranced vapor throughout the vehicle, but because the fragranced vapour clings to materials and is absorbed into the fabric. Over time, this helps deliver a constant fragrance throughout the vehicle.
FRSH Scents Hanging Air Freshener
Our Mirror Hanging Air Fresheners are perfect for “general maintenance”. Available in the signature “New Car” fragrance, these fresheners last for up to 45 days and come in various colours to match your car's style.
