STAR BRITE Auto Odor Eliminator, Fast Release Vapor System Eliminates Car Odors in 4-6 Hours (19970)

Credit to Chris Fix for the video review. To quote what family members have said: I can finally take a full breath in this car.I bought a vehicle which was mechanically sound but the interior was neglected. It seems like pets had run amok inside. Wet dog mixed with spilled drinks and a trunk that had leaked made for an interesting scent.The instructions were very easy to follow and the product reduced the smell by about 90 percent. Specifically, I can faintly tell there is a lingering scent, but the car is much more fresh smelling.I would use this product again.

Used to remove humid smell from car, worked good, has a strong scent after use but it goes away

My hatch was leaking so once I got it fixed, I was left with a musty odor. It was really bad and permeated the whole car, not just the trunk. I have a small car and I set off 2 of these things a few days apart. I put the first one on the backseat hump between the seats (with the hatch cover removed so it could reach the trunk) and the second one right in the trunk. The first one in the backseat area did not do the job all the way. It helped a lot but I was left with a chlorine smell with an undertone of mustiness. The one I put in a the trunk a few days later seemed to do the final trick to totally eliminate the smell. I also changed the cabin filter and let my AC run on recirculate to make sure I was getting everything that could harbor gross smells.The bad thing about these is the lingering chlorine smell, which is couldn't stand. You have to have days to air out the car because driving it with that chlorine odor is very unpleasant! You would think that it's because I used 2 bombs total, but after the first bomb, I was airing it out for days before i set the 2nd one off and it still smelled like chlorine at the time I put the 2nd one in the trunk. It's almost as bad as the musty smell! And I did have to use 2 to totally get rid of the odor so that's a minus. But anyway, once the car was aired out, which took forever, within a week I was able to get it back to a normal, non chloriny and non musty smell. Very neutral.I am pleased with the results overall but if you have a stubborn stink, don't settle for just one. And prepare to open your car windows every day and let that sucker air out for about a week before the chlorine scent is totally gone. I put a nice Citrus odoban odor eater in the trunk to impart a pleasant smell after the fact, and all you can smell is citrus happiness in the car now. Yes, it works, but it is a process. I am grateful for this product though, truly I am. Without it I don't think I could have ever gotten the musty smell out completely.

I read the instructions twice. Saturated the sponge and put the designated spot inside of it. Left it in the car in an open area with the AC running on recirculate for 6 hours. Wrapped the seatbelts around front seats to get maximum surface area covered. Just a faint chorine smell afterwards and the musty moldy smell and dog odors were still there. This was performed after we had extracted all carpet and seats! Maybe we got a dud but it didn’t work for us at all.

Works wellLove the scent addition to the vehicle

This may work well if your car has mildew, mold or heavy cigarette smoke embedded in your car. I got new car seat covers and they had this weird chemical smell so I thought this would eliminate that smell. Maybe it's because it was a minor odor but this product worked a little too well. I left it overnight and aired out my car for over an hour; however, it still smells like chlorine/ chemicals (the chemical smell came from the product itself and not the car seat cover).I do admit that the smell it had before is eliminated but this new chlorine smell is overwhelming. I've been having to drive with the windows down the whole way because of how overwhelming it is.My advice would be if it's for minor smells, it may be better to use it for less time or just skip it all together. I'm not sure how long this chlorine smell will last but it's headache inducing

Great for a car with odors . I bought a new car that I couldn’t tell if it was rubber or mice smell and this took care of it. Value for money:

Leaving 5 star for easy use. I didn’t see any noticeable vapor , left car on recirculating ac for a little over an hour smells like a chlorine like smell turned car off kept doors closed for another a couple hours and replaced the cabin air filter. So far no smoke smell on first day but will see if the smoke smell comes back and will update
