dang alota you guys really thought this through, ima try that drier sheet out once. i always play basketball then come back all sweaty n sit in my car, doesnt seem like it should be bad since most of the sweat has dried onto my skin. it may soak through, but i think my sweat smells good. i always keep air freshners, but i never smell it anymore dont know if im just usto it or not..

The sweat liquid contains a high concentration of salts that the body ejects as a cleaning mechanism. When the sweat adheres to the seat, the water evaporates and the salt remains leaving the odor and staining the seat.

Once every 2 weeks lightly spray some FreBreeze on the floor-mats, seat-covers, trunk-carpet. Muy bien.

"Best way to keep smell in car??"

Let someone die in your car during the Summer and leave the body in there till the Fall [Keep the doors and windows closed].

I use a vanilla scented yankee candle freshener. I put it in the door storage area. I've had it now for six months and it's still working.

Febreeze car apholstry spray, and a case of those little cans from Discount Auto in the "Mountain Fresh" scent. Keep your windows rolled up with 1-2 cans open when you're not driving. I frequently get comments that my car smells "awesome".

After you vacuum, how do you clean the mats and floor without having to scrub the material (makes it look worn).

um you do know when heated air is applied to drier sheets it releases toxic chemicals that no person should ever breathe right? this is the reason many window tinters stopped using dryer sheets when shrinking...
