Car Odour Eliminators - How did I get rid musty smell from my car

Yes. We bought a used car ..

Me and my partner have decided to buy a used car  to get around the shopping centres and visit family friends and occasional get a ways from the city for fresh and more natural air.

The car mechanically was in a okay condition and but it had dull musty smell inside. We thought we will be able to get rid of the smell easily by cleaning the interior and we went ahead and bought the car.

Ain't an easy job

We have then cleaned the car interior,  seats,  top, floor and carpets of the car.  We have vacuum cleaned the car.   Dirt Devil Hand Held Vacuum cleaner did the job and its worth the money. We have purchased the product from Bunnings here.    We have sprayed the Deodorant and felt we are set to zoom around in our new car.

But guess what, right after a day we have started smelling  it again, the same musty smell. It has gone nowhere its only been masked by Deodorant for that day.

So, We have  gone back to Bunnings to see what else can be done and found a Sanitiser & Deodoriser , then it all made sense to us.  To eliminate the smell, masking is not just enough we will have to kill the bacteria underneath that causing the smell. 

So,  We have bought below 2 products

 2 hours of hardwork paid off.

With those 2 products, We have sanitised entire interior of the car. Please read the usage guide from the manufacturers of those products. They have done amazing job and now our car smells so fresh.  Everytime we step into our car,  We remember the 2 hours we spent cleaning the car and appreciate ourselves for the effort.
