How to Get Rid of Weed Smell in Your Car – Fast!
The unmistakable, pungent odor of weed can linger for weeks, especially if it’s in a small and enclosed space like your car. This can mean big trouble if you happen to be pulled over by police, who may think you were breaking the law by consuming weed in your vehicle. The following ideas can help you remove the smell of weed completely.
Chlorine Dioxide – A Powerful Odor Neutralizer
Chlorine dioxide (ClO2) is a powerful gas that is effective odor removal in even the most remote places. Although it sounds like a volatile chemical, the only byproduct of this gas is saline solution.
Previously, it wasn’t possible to release ClO2 as needed in small spaces. Now, there’s Auto Shocker ClO2 Odor Eliminator from Biocide Systems! Auto Shocker offers a safe, easy and incredibly effective way to absorb odors from weed in every vehicle.
Just move your car into a shady area, activate, and leave Auto Shocker to sit in your closed vehicle for several hours. Then simply open the windows for 20 minutes, and you can enjoy a fresh-smelling car!
Why Does Weed Smell So Strong?
The flowers of the marijuana plant, which are dried and then consumed, contain chemicals known as terpenes. Terpenes are used by the plant to defend itself from various predators.
These chemicals remain in the flowers after they’ve been dried and are released whether they are burned or not. However, smoking in your vehicle with the windows closed can cause those terpenes to invade every surface.
Other Ways to Get Rid of Weed Smell
Because terpenes are such persistent chemicals, it can be a good idea to try more than one of the following solutions together.
Open Your Vehicle Windows While on the Road
Airing your vehicle out as you complete your daily errands can help get rid of the smell of weed, whether it’s sitting in your vehicle or continues to linger long after weed was removed. You can also leave your windows open for fresh air for a while after returning home.
Remove Items That Hold Odors
Weed smoke can rest on or even penetrate the surfaces inside your vehicle, including any clutter or trash that may be hiding under car seats and in door pockets. Remove these items to help lessen the strength of weed smell.
Give Your Vehicle’s Interior a Deep Cleaning
Because terpenes are so persistent, you are going to need to do a deep cleaning of the inside of your car. This can be the most effective way to eliminate the smell of anyone that was smoking weed in your car.
After you’ve removed the floor mats and any trash, vacuum all the soft surfaces. Shampoo seats and carpeting, and don’t forget to vacuum and shampoo your vehicle’s headliner or ceiling with a product that’s been made for vehicle upholstery.
For hard surfaces, you can mix a 1:1 ratio of white vinegar and water and use it to wipe down and neutralize weed odors on your dashboard, steering wheel, and other areas. While cleaning, don’t forget to remove and clean or replace your cabin air filter, as this can also collect and redistribute weed smell.
Keep It Smelling Fresh
Baking soda, coffee grounds, activated charcoal, and vehicle essential oil diffusers can all be effective and healthy ways to keep your car smelling fresh after you’ve cleaned it, and potentially prevent weed smell from lingering the next time it’s in your car.
Baking soda and activated charcoal are both powerful odor absorbers. Place a cup of either into an empty margarine container, place the lid on top, and poke holes into it to help absorb weed and other smells for several days.
Between deep cleanings, sprinkle baking soda onto carpets and allow it to sit for several hours before vacuuming.
Coffee grounds help reset the sense of smell and release that delicious roasted coffee scent into your vehicle. Finally, essential oils like lavender and orange make an ideal odor-busting air freshener for vehicle essential oil diffusers, which are healthier than traditional air fresheners.
Prevent Future Weed Odors
If you regularly bring weed with you, purchasing a stash box can be a good idea. This product seals terpenes inside to prevent weed smell from reaching vehicle surfaces. Fill up the weed container before transporting buds in your car.
Auto Shocker from Biocide Systems
