How to get rid of the plastic smell of a new ride

[gregsp]

To all tsikoteers who can help,
How can I get rid of the plastic smell of my new ride, nahihilo ang wife ko sa amoy. Tulong naman guys!

[badkuk]

have you tried using charcoal/uling? we usually use it to get rid of foul odor in the ref, ewan ko lang kung effective for the plastic smell

#1 ) Try putting unused/fresh charcoal or baking soda in a can or container and place them in strategic areas around the vehicle. If you plan to have them around when driving, make sure you put them in a container that wont allow them to spill and make a mess inside.

#2) When your vehicle is parked in your home garage (secured preferrably), open all doors, windows, and hatch (if applicable) and aim a fan (stand or desk type, the bigger the better) towards the car interior for an hour or so.

#3) With the same conditions elaborated in #2, you can try leaving the vehicle under the sun.

I dont have any evidence to back it up with but siguro kung medyo luma na ang uling hindi na epektibo ito sa pagabsorb ng odor. Napansin ko, habang tumatagal ang uling sa loob ng tsikot, hindi na natatangal ang amoy.

thanks sir001,malamang nga kasi ganon din ang ginawa ko ,kaya cguro hindi gaano naalis ang amoy .kasi Used Charcoal din ang ginamit ko pero inalis ko muna ang mga abo or mga dumi

FXT: baking soda narinig ko na din iyan pero never ko pa na try
.subukan ko next time

baking soda is a good idea...you can also try fresh coffee ground in a non-spill container under the seat. it absorbs the plasticy smell and emits its own. only a good idea if you like coffee smell.

me too. but this 'new car smell' is toxic. it's the benzene a chemical found in adhesive used in upholsetery. apart from the dizziness, it can cause eye irritation.

yes, you could get rid of that, leave your car parked in the sun with open doors, whenever possible (say, a car lot / park).

...leave your car parked in the sun with open doors, whenever possible (say, a car lot / park).

That's what I did, left the unit parked under the sun with all hatches open. I also read that thread in Tsikot a while back about the dangers of "new car smell." I also did this to hasten the drying of the tint so I could roll down my confounded windows

Me too, I love the smell of a new car. One of my friends even wished that there's a "new car smell air freshener" para daw amoy bago palagi kotse niya he he!!

Actually may New Car smell Freshener, but I think it's not even close.

Maybe it's not the plastic you can smell, it's the smell of super glue that bonds the plastics in your new car. In time that smell will go away. Yep ako din gusto ko ang amoy ng new car.

[oldblue]

me too I love the new car smell. before, meron ambi pur na pabango na ka-match na ka-match ng new car smell nakalimutan ko na kung ano. anybody?

[GlennSter]

if you enjoy the new car smell, tip lang. those are palstic and glue that you are sniffing...cancerous, theoretically.

Ako rin, I love that new car smell! Kaso yun nga, there was an article in the net somewhere about studies showing that scent to be hazardous to one's health. Tsk-tsk, I know of this rich guy who changes cars every 1-2 years, ang dami na niyang exposure sa new car scent.
