Product Information

If you like your DIY car air freshener to have a creative and more decorative touch, you can make your own scented tree branch medallions and scent them with some generous drops of essential oils. This works in the same way that the clothespin method does. The best hanging car air freshener is this lavender-scented option from Mrs. Meyer’s Clean Day. Made with wood beads that diffuse essential oils, your car will smell pleasant from the moment you open this air freshener until it starts to fade around the 30-day mark. The air freshener can hang or sit upright on a flat surface to circulate its fragrance throughout your car—whether that be near an air vent or in a cup holder.

These days many of us spend the majority of our time commuting to work. This can leave your car smelling less than fresh. You don’t have to resort to purchasing commercial air fresheners that can pollute the air you breathe to keep your car smelling fresh. This easy hanging plant looks similar to macrame but is even easier! I love the mini hanging plants for cars, so I thought . . . why not make it serve a double purpose and act as a car scent as well?! To best circulate an air freshener’s scent around a car, Belair recommends clipping one to an air vent. The Starter Kit for the Car Vent Clipscomes with the clip itself and then you can choose between four scents: Sea Salt + Aloe, Lemon Leaf + Thyme, Spring Water + Lotus, or Minerals + Moss. Then you can buy refills and just swap them out when you need a refresh. Each refill lasts about a month (sometimes longer) and you can sign up for an auto-subscription to save 15% if you want. They’re also liquid-free, which means you don’t have to worry about it damaging the fabric inside your car or anything like that.

6. Scented Candle Wax

Although you may be tempted to hang a disposable air freshener on your rearview mirror, Reynoso doesn't recommend it. “It obstructs your vision while you're driving and can be dangerous,” he explains. This is a simple way to get your car smelling fresh again. You can find miniature clothespins at your local craft store, or the full size one in the laundry aisle of your grocery store. This super easy essential oil air freshener clips onto your air vent and works whether you have the air on or off. Grow has become known for their non-toxic fragrance sprays (which make a really great alternative to Febreze) and their refillable plant-based candles.

Don’t want to throw out the remains of those spent scented candles? Give them a second lease on life as car air fresheners. You will need to take a small empty jar, punch some holes in the tin lid and place your waxy remains inside. This is a great option particularly in the summer months, as the car heats up the wax will melt, releasing its scent in the process. You can even make up a few different jars using your old scented candles and rotate them to vary the scents inside your vehicle over time. It is also important that the scents you select are conducive to driving. Reynoso says one should opt for “a scent that is pleasant and not distracting—something you enjoy smelling and not something that feels like it is overpowering your nostrils while you drive.” If you’re sensitive to smells, look for an unscented option like the Purggo Car Air Freshener. Unfortunately, the world of “fragrance” is a bit of a mess. Because of what’s commonly known as the “ fragrance loophole,” air freshener brands are legally allowed to include roughly 4,000 different chemicals into their products without actually listing them Try making scented candles from leftover wax instead of throwing it out. We’ll look at how to make a DIY…A proven ‘odor eater’, baking soda, when combined with your favorite essential oil (peppermint, sandalwood, or lavender being excellent choices), makes for an excellent DIY car air freshener. All you need to do is take some thin cloth (like an old bed sheet or worn-out shirt for example) and cut off a small square of the fabric – aim for 3 to 4 inches in length and width. Car air fresheners can be placed in a variety of places, depending on the type and their particular instructions. Some options are meant to clip seamlessly into your car’s air vents, while others plug into the cigarette lighter or simply hang. Pour a few drops of food coloring into each of the jars. Then put one teaspoon essential oil of your choice into each container. Pour one cup of the water into a pan and bring to a boil. Add the four envelopes of gelatin to the water and whisk until it completely dissolves. Most of the time, bad smells in your car will likely be coming from fabrics. Regular vacuuming at home should be enough to maintain a fresh smell inside your car, but for those really stubborn smells, consider a professional detailing service. Once that is done, you can stay on top of odors developing again by regularly vacuuming when you get a bit of spare time. Place between five and ten drops of your favorite essential oil onto the clothespin and then clip it to the air vent in your car. Air Freshener in a Jar
