How to remove sweat smells from your vehicle

Forgotten Gym Socks in the Car? Here’s How to Remove The Smell

Gym socks: they work hard, but when forgotten in your car, they work even harder—at stinking it up. Whether it’s the result of a rushed practice, an after-workout brain lapse, or a kiddo who tossed them under the seat, the lingering smell can turn your car into an unwanted sauna of funk.

The good news? You can bounce back and reclaim your ride. Here’s how to tackle the stink like a pro.

Step 1: Locate the Culprit

Start by finding those rogue socks. Check under seats, in gym bags, and even in hidden compartments. Once you’ve located them, remove them (and consider tossing them straight into the wash—your nose will thank you).

Step 2: Address the Damage

Now that the source is gone, it’s time to deal with the aftermath. Ventilate your car by rolling down the windows and letting in fresh air. Then, vacuum any areas where the socks sat to remove lingering particles.

Step 3: Eliminate the Odor

For stubborn smells that stick around even after the socks are gone, turn to The Stink Solution Car Odor Eliminating Spray. Unlike air fresheners that just mask the odor, our spray neutralizes it at the molecular level.

Why it works:

  • Safe for your whole crew: Non-toxic, all-natural, and enzyme-free—perfect for cars that transport kids, pets, and everything in between.
  • Effective on all surfaces: Whether the socks were on the seats, floor mats, or tucked in a corner, our spray has you covered.
  • Quick results: Spray, let it dry, and enjoy a stink-free ride.

Step 4: Refresh the Air

(Optional) If the odor has made its way into your car’s air system, a light spritz of The Stink Solution near the AC intake vents can help freshen the airflow. This optional step is especially handy for strong or persistent smells.

Don’t let forgotten socks win. With The Stink Solution Car Odor Eliminating Spray, you can bounce back and keep your car smelling fresh, no matter what life (or the gym) throws your way. Order your bottle today and turn stink into a distant memory.
