THIS WORKS!!!! I rent my car on TURO and a guest returned it smelling of weed BAD! I used ozium, fabreez, all the common name brand solutions and NOTHING worked. I did this exact thing (with a larger bowl, so it didn't spill). I left it over night, in the morning the bleach smell was strong, so I ran the AC for 20 minutes to circulate in the filter, turned it off and opened the doors for 15 minutes and it smells PERFECT. I can't thank you enough! Now my next guest doesn't have to feel uncomfortable and it won't hurt my business.

Just want to say I love how real and concise you are! Can’t wait to get my hands dirty flipping cars and supplement my income! Thanks for all your info and help!

it worked very well ... thanks for the tip.

Just tried this in gmc yukon denali we just bought. Only problem was dog/stale smell,,,, WOW this worked! Thanks

IT WORKED! I can't believe it! I bought a used car that smelled fine at the time, but the next day reeked of cigarette smoke. I tried cleaning the car, changing the filter, and using a "scent bomb". None of it worked. But this did! And it was so much more affordable than other options I researched.

MORE Good, Useful information! I have a lot of ways but ALWAYS open to something new to try so THANK YOU, Craig. You've been giving lots of helpful info on the channel like the vette lights with the extra piece GM stuck on the light. All sorts of good stuff from CRAIG - Thanks dude! And I see a couple thumbs down. WHY? You give information for FREE (HELLO?) for Free and people want to complain? You know, be it my TV, radio or KZread, if I don't click with something I simply change it! WHY on earth find fault with it? Just nuts but myself and thousands of others appreciate ALL your efforts.

I'd been using Ozone Generators for a while, they work until the plates wear out. I've never used chlorine before, it seems like a great idea, I can't wait to try it out. I'm in Texas, and here marijuana is prohibited regardless of recreational or medicinal use, but I often find myself repossessing cars that smell like left over roaches.

That is the worst smell ever. I used to smoke pot in my high school days, but I grew up lol. Now I can't stand the smell! I've gotten in some cars and it's like, "You DO know I can smell that, right? And if I can smell it, a cop sure as hell can, too" lol

I’m trying it right now. Love the ammonia tip at the end. Thank you!

Thank you for the video. How long does this last? I’ve tried everything on a car I bought including the airvidox smell remover with no joys.

thanks definately gonna try that chlorine tablet trick

Also dont forget to change the cabin air filter

Wow this is mind blowing

When I worked for a big Ford dealership/Chevrolet store we just used a O-Zone machine in the cars. Worked perfectly ran it in the car with the window cracked for roughly an hour or two. “Car must be running with air circulation on”. Afterwards I’ve had cars that sat on the lot for months and no cigarette/animal smells never come back.

Hey buddy, can you put a link for the chlorine tablet? That would be really useful.

u ever use a ozone machine? if its a smoker car. steam clean everything plastics fabrics, headliner. and then use a ozone machine. its good investment.

So what about the vents? Wouldn't running the AC clear them out? Did this help with that without running the AC?

How long will the effect last and how often do you have to repeat this procedure?

Tried this and left sitting overnight almost 12 hours and used two disposable plastic cups with pool tablets/water one in front and one in back. I also sprinkled baking soda everywhere as well. The water in both cups had turned yellow when i checked this morning. The odor is not as bad i guess but you can still smell it with the chlorine "clean" smell. I left it in today while at work. This evening i'll vacuum it all out and see what happens. I bought the truck (Ext. cab F150) on Saturday with what i can best describe as a pet smell. It had been vacuumed out so no hair was really present with the exception of the glove box and crack/crevices.

Any ideas of how to get the smell of smoke out of the leather furniture?

Bought a used car with dog smell in it. I can recommend the bleach to get rid of dog smell. After trying white vinegar mixed with water in a spray bottle (which left a residual vinegar smell PLUS the dog odor); a mixture of vodka and water in a spray bottle (another home remedy found online); Fabreze; leaving baking soda in a bowl overnight - two times.... I finally tried the bleach solution in this video. The first time it did nothing (perhaps because it was in the 30's since it's winter time and the bleach pool pellet didn't dissolve well). So I thought I'd give it one more shot with the bleach before looking for another solution. The second time using the bleach, I heated up water on the stove before adding the bleach to help the bleach dissolve better and then put the mixture in the car inside a red Solo cup. This morning the residual vinegar smell and remaining dog smell - which has gotten less after all these attempts, but not completely gone - was completely gone. But now I have a bleach smell in my car. It's not the "pleasant clean smell" that's mentioned in the video. It smells like bleach - which if you associate with "clean", then you'll be happy. To me, it smells like bleach i.e. a chemical smell. Better than the f*cking dog smell, but an unwanted odor nonetheless. I've left the car windows open sitting in the driveway and even drove around a bit with the car windows open. Maybe back to the Fabreze or some other pleasant-smelling scented product to get rid of the bleach smell...

Craig could you clean and detail inside of my semi? How much would you charge

I had a few questions...The store by me was out of the clorine tablets but they had the small bags of granules. How much should I put in a bowl of water? I read that it can be flamable. Also, where do you dump this solution afterwards? It's not good for toilets or sinks. Please let me know.

Would this work if I set this underneath the hood of my car to get odors out from mice. I don't really smell it in my car at all. But I'm just paranoid the smells under the hood. Thank you. Obviously it's not something I would move the car with it underneath the hood

would normal granular chlorine work the same?

Have you ever tried Electrolyzed Water? So simple - just salt and water, but needs to be electrolyzed to change the structure to HOCl. It becomes a really good cleaner, with a neutral charge that cleans better than most household cleaners, kills all the germs and bacteria that cause odour, and reverts back to natural producs so is environmentally friendly! We have tried this with cigarette smoke and it's been effective as well!

How long has the clorox application worked? Does the smell come back at any point?

the cloro tab trick is nothing more than a stronger smell. There isn't enough to do anything beneficial. Too rid the car of smells, use ammonia. Yes, everyone says dont use ammonia based products. If you leave the ammonia lying around it will cause damage - so dont leave it lying around. Use a diluted solution of ammonia/water and with a rag wipe the surfaces, and within a few minutes wipe again with a clean water rag, thus not leaving any ammonia behind. Ammonia is your friend is you use it the right way. Same applies to the ozone genny, its needs to be powerful enough (min 3g/ph) but dont leave on for too long, 30 mins max. The ozone can cause hydrogen peroxide to form in undesirable places, so probably best to dehumidfy the car first.

Actually your trick on removing smells from home or car; the following works real well: Get a plate or food storage container (without a lid). Place a slice of white bread on the plate or in the bottom of the food storage container. Add about 1/3 cup of liquid bleach on the bread (should see a small puddle of liquid bleach around the bread). Place the plate or container in the area with the doors and windows closed. Leave in the closed area for 24 hours. Remove the plate or container and air out the car or house.
