According to a highly experienced driver on Sohu, he always keeps a bar of soap in his car. Many people wonder why they should keep a soap bar in the car. The following reasons will surely surprise many people.
Eliminate bad smell in the car
Cars are often tightly closed and the air conditioning is constantly on, which makes it easy to have an unpleasant smell. To eliminate the bad smell, many people like to use air freshener in the car, but its effectiveness is not as good as a soap bar. Moreover, the cost of a soap bar is much cheaper.

Reduce fog on car windows
According to the experienced driver, a soap bar not only eliminates bad smell but also improves the air quality in the car, ensuring safe trips on rainy and windy days.
When it rains, the car rearview mirror is often foggy. This significantly affects the driver’s visibility. While the windshield has wipers to deal with this issue, the rearview mirror does not. In this case, the driver just needs to rub soap on the rearview mirror, wait a few minutes, and then wipe it clean with a paper towel. This action will create a protective layer on the mirror, making it clearer and preventing raindrops from sticking. As a result, the driver can easily observe and ensure safety when traveling on rainy days.
In addition to using a soap bar, drivers can eliminate odor inside the car in simple ways:
Eliminate odor with fruits
Many fruits have the ability to eliminate unpleasant smell in the car, such as pineapple, grapefruit, and lemon. Just place the fruit (or its peel) in the driver’s cabin or passenger compartment, and these fruits will release their scent. However, it is important to replace the fruit and avoid using rotten fruit as it can have the opposite effect.
Eliminate odor with tea or coffee
Besides keeping the driver alert, tea and coffee can also remove unpleasant smell in the car. Hanging a bag of tea leaves or coffee beans near the air conditioner will spread their fragrance and neutralize bad smell.
Eliminate odor with activated charcoal
Activated charcoal not only eliminates odor but also removes allergens, pollutants, and excess moisture in the air. Placing a bag of activated charcoal under the seat or near the air vents will get rid of the unpleasant smell and prevent mold growth.
Regularly clean the car interior
To completely eliminate bad smell in the car, it is necessary to clean the car interior. Car owners should regularly clean and maintain the interior to keep it clean and well-ventilated. Using a vacuum cleaner to clean the floor mats and small gaps is recommended.
