how to get food smells out of your car

Food Left in the Car Overnight? Here’s Your Odor Survival Guide

We’ve all been there. You stop for fast food, groceries, or leftovers from a night out, and then… you forget. By the time you realize, the food has turned your car into a mobile science experiment. Whether it’s soggy fries, spilled coffee, or that mysterious smell wafting from the back seat, food left in your car overnight is a surefire recipe for funk.

Before you declare your car a lost cause, take a deep breath (or maybe don’t) and follow this guide to reclaim your ride.

Step 1: Evacuate the Evidence

The first rule of odor survival? Get rid of the offending items ASAP. Check every nook and cranny—under seats, in cup holders, and yes, even the glove box. Food has a sneaky way of hiding in the least expected places. Bag it, toss it, and let’s move on.

Step 2: Tackle the Mess

Once the culprit is out, it’s time to clean up. Use a gentle cleaner to wipe down surfaces and absorb any spills. For fabric seats, a mixture of mild soap and water works wonders. Don’t forget your floor mats—they’re basically odor sponges.

Step 3: Bring in The Stink Solution

Now for the hero of this story: The Stink Solution Car Odor Eliminating Spray. Our formula doesn’t just mask odors; it eliminates them at the source. Spray it directly on the affected areas—seats, mats, vents, or wherever the smell has settled—and let it work its magic.

Why it works:

  • All-natural and non-toxic: Safe for use around kids and pets. No harsh chemicals here.
  • Works on any surface: From leather to fabric to plastic, it’s got your car covered.
  • No enzymes or heavy scents: Just clean, fresh air.

It comes in Midnight (sleek and clean) or Coconut Mango (subtly tropical), but let’s be real—it’s the odor-fighting power that steals the show.

Step 4: Refresh the Air

Even after cleaning, odors can linger in your car’s air system. Turn on the AC, set it to recirculate, and give a few sprays of The Stink Solution near the intake vents. It’ll freshen up your airflow and leave your car smelling like new.
