How to Get Rid of Meat Smell from the Car

Hello and a good day to everyone. We hope that you enjoyed your Eid holidays as much as we did. One of the best things about Eid al-Adha is sharing the meat with our loved ones and the needy people in our society. Usually, we use our cars to deliver the meat to relatives, friends, and the needy. The problem with this is that it can leave a pungent odour in your car. The smell can be from the meat or the blood that might leak onto the flooring. There are also cases where a piece of meat drops onto the floor, and we fail to pick it up. Over the days, the meat will rot, resulting in a foul odour in the car. If you are experiencing this problem, do not worry because PitStopArabia will tell you the solution.

How to Get Rid of Meat Smell from the Car

There are various options that you can use. Let us start from the most obvious ones before moving onto the expert solutions.

Open the Doors & Windows

The first thing that you should do is park the car in a safe spot. Then open the doors and windows. Keep them open for at least an hour. In most cases, it will help you get rid of the smell.

Wash the Mats

If you put the meat on the mats, the chances are that the blood spilt onto the mats. In this case, you will need to take out the mats and give them a thorough wash. Let them dry before putting them back in. In most cases, you will notice that the odour has gone. If you put the meat in the trunk, you will need to take out the car and wash it, just like the mats.

Use an Air Freshener

At times, you can clear out the smell with an air freshener. All you need to do is buy a quality air freshener and spray it into the car. Wait a few hours. If the smell exists, then you need to move onto the more advanced options.

Baking Soda

The first thing you need to do is determine where the smell is coming from, e.g. seat, carpet, or trunk. Once you do that, pour baking soda onto the area, and rub it. Let it sit there for a few hours. Afterwards, use a car vacuum cleaner to remove the baking soda. We can guarantee that the smell does not exist anymore.

Charcoal

You might not know it, but charcoal is a natural smell absorber. It is used in various air and water filters. All you need to do is place chunks of charcoal in the car. Leave it there for a few days. We recommend that you avoid using the vehicle during this time. After a few days, you will notice that the smell is gone.

Car Detailing

If nothing works, you will need to opt for car detailing. Many of you already know that PSA offers auto detailing services throughout the UAE.
