Put one towel in each of plastic bowl and pour in white distilled vinegar until the towels are soaked. Using white distilled vinegar is safe, highly effective and very inexpensive. If you have a bigger car and really strong odors, you can use as many bowls filled with vinegar-soaked towels as you feel necessary.

    Great video. this a Quick fix, but it's not a permanent solution. The odors will come back. Especially cigarette odors if they get into your air-conditioning system. Most odors are caused by some sort of chemical compound, bacteria, fungus or mold. I recently discovered a new product that eliminates the odor at the source completely . Not by masking it but it actually destroys the compound that causes the odor. By doing this it not only gets rid of the odor, but it sanitizes the interior of your car, improving the air quality in the cabin. This is truly the only way to get rid of the odor. The product is called auto vaccine. You can find it on a website http://www.BiocideSystems.com. They also have a product called Room Shocker, which is great for apartments and houses.

    Instead of vinegar, use coffee grounds in the bowls. Came from a friend who sold used cars!

    I wonder if this would work in my apartment. The tenant before me was a chain smoker and we have been trying a year to get the stench out.
