2015 Honda CR-V seat cloth odor

A cleanup helps. Setting up a fan to blow fresh air through the car windows, one side to the other, would probably help too.

No offense but ā€œI bought a great used carā€. It just stinks. Maybe take up the habit and be thankful it didnā€™t transport dogs. I shampoo the interior once a year though so donā€™t forget all of the carpets and headliner and cardboard door panels. Good luck.

I remember my friend whose dad owned the ford garage and detailed cars after school, had to clean up a docs car that was traded in. The doc smoked a pipe with all the windows closed. I had to listen to all the complaints on getting that car cleaned up for the used car lot. I donā€™t know what he used back then.

My truckā€™s prior owner smoked cigars, and it took quite some time before that odor finally disappeared. Cigar odor not particularly offensive to me, so I didnā€™t stress over that so much. Itā€™s all the burn holes in the seats I stressed over ā€¦lolā€¦

I have used this product before with good results. Same gas they use to kill mold and mildew in librariesā€¦

As expected, it has a residual light chlorine odor that seemed to dissipate pretty quickly after treatment.

Iā€™ve seen ads for this product on TV, but I have no idea about its effectiveness:

I ended up buying new seat covers, found good ones at Wet Okole. They are neoprene and can be washed in a washing machine, so it is easy to remove any odor or dust. And the quality is high, because they look new after a year of use.
