Default And now...for my next trick!

If you ever have a funky odor that lingers in your car (or truck)...place a few Bounce dryer sheets under each seat and leave the windows closed on a warm sunny day. The dryer sheets will help "absorb" the odor. It might smell a little like fabric softener for a day but will help clear up that funky smell.

We left our windows open on the camper and it smelled like smoke inside from our campfire. A few days of the dryer sheets laying around and the smoke smell is gone!

Nice...I'll try that out. That is if the warm dry weather returns. Sick of this rain!

Haven't tried that . I sometimes use "Lemon Pledge" on the interior. After wiping everything down, I leave the cloth in the car for several hours to allow the lemon scent to settle(?) in.

Sounds like a similar method with the same end result!

I'll have to remember that next time I go camping - I HATE the campfire smell in the morning!

I read some place that the dryer sheets keep mice away also.

To keep away mice or oders?
