Eliminate Funk for Good — Stopping Car Odors Before They Start

That musty “old sock” smell when you start your car isn’t your imagination — it’s bacteria in your A/C system.

The Source of the Smell

Moisture collects in the evaporator core every time you run the A/C. When you park and shut off the engine, that moisture sits, letting mold and bacteria breed.

The Fix

Before parking, turn your A/C off but leave the fan on high for five minutes. It dries the system and starves bacteria of moisture.

Replace your cabin air filter every 6–12 months and add a natural deodorizer like activated charcoal packets. They continuously pull odors and moisture out of the air. 👉 Grab them here.

Pro Tip: Spray a light odor eliminator into the vents every couple of months. Your car will always smell “freshly detailed” — not freshly forgotten.
