Air fresheners are very effective in removing unpleasant odors from the cabin and providing a cooler environment.

Hanging air fresheners

In the category of hanging air fresheners you can opt for the classics , such as pine, which have endless designs and scents, as well as different sizes to adapt to any vehicle. The main advantage of classic air fresheners is that they are very cheap and work very quickly, although their fragrance is not very intense and you may not notice it at times.

On the other hand, hanging liquid air fresheners have become fashionable in recent years. These are small glass vials with a wooden ball as a lid that are normally hung from the rear-view mirror. The scented liquid from the interior permeates the wood to distribute the fragrance throughout the interior. It should be noted that the smell of this type of air freshener is much more intense and pleasant than that of the classic models.

Electric air fresheners

Electric air fresheners are made up of an electric turbine that is connected to the vehicle’s cigarette lighter. In this way, the odor is distributed throughout the interior of the vehicle evenly.

Grid air fresheners

Grid air fresheners have a clip that fits over the car’s air vent. So when placed on it, the air that enters the cabin passes through the air freshener, distributing the fragrance throughout the interior of the vehicle. This type of air freshener is very effective.

Spray air fresheners

The spray air fresheners are very comfortable and discreet , since they can be stored anywhere in the car to use them when necessary. They are usually small in size and to disperse them you just have to press the diffuser button. The only disadvantage they have is that its use is manual, so you have to be aware of using it from time to time so that the vehicle smells good.

Natural air fresheners

If you are not convinced by the smell of perfume in air fresheners, you can choose to use natural odor neutralizing elements. Many drivers place some sprigs of rosemary in the passenger compartment, since it is a plant that allows the absorption of unpleasant odors.

Air fresheners eliminate odors

It should be noted that in all the modalities discussed above, you can also find the so-called odor eliminators or odor eliminators. These air fresheners, as the name suggests, are able to eliminate unpleasant odors completely without covering them with another fragrance. For this reason, they are the best option for all those people who cannot stand strong perfumes or who are allergic.
