From: jkm1 on 7 Jun 2010 06:47 Need to remove a polish smell thats inside the neighbours recently purchased one year old Citroen. There is a sickly smell that one of the children especially finds very unpleasant. It's very subtle and difficult to locate exactly and we suspect it might be an interior cleaner or polish thats been used. Is there some solution that we can make up to wipe over all the surfaces to see if it removes the smell. It obviously wouldn't want to be something that might adversely affect the plastic and the seats. Thanks.

Thanks. febreze can often improve things, but you need to get rid of the febreze smell!!!! but leaving the car open should soon dispel it.

Its probably one of those deoderising cleaners / sprays soap and water will be your best option followed by febreeze or one of the odour neutrisers sold at halfrauds

When I last bought a brand new car it stank of dead rats when you operated the washers. Renewing the wash fluid cured that. Rob Graham

A sulfurous smell can be a battery very low on water.Ive had plastic bags melt on the exhaust. If it was recently cleaned Alcohol can be used to go over smooth surfaces, if its in the seats and carpet park it in the sun with windows open. It will just take time, maybe weeks or more. |
