diy car air freshener Page 23

Ah, the humble DIY car air freshener—because who doesn’t want their ride to smell like a citrus orchard or a pine forest rather than the faint aroma of mystery fast food? Making one is as simple as soaking a cotton ball in essential oils like lavender, eucalyptus, or lemon, then tucking it somewhere discreet like under your seat or inside a small mesh bag. Alternatively, use baking soda mixed with a few drops of your favourite scent to absorb odours and keep things fresh. Just don’t go overboard; your passengers might think you’ve installed a botanical lab.

For more inspiration and ready-to-buy options, have a squiz at Tradingpost or CarShowroom listings. Now, go forth and freshen, but remember: subtlety is key unless you want your car smelling like a walking herbal remedy.
