Banishing interior smells

[morrisminor]

Just bought an old BMW 7 and I can't quite seem to banish a smell from the interior. It is difficult to describe the smell - just old car maybe old leather smell or just someone elses remnants! . Its not awful but I just don't like it.

I have tried Neutrodol but think that may have just added another smell to it!

Any ideas for a cure please?

Thanks

Local valeting place, where they have one of the fogger machines or smoke "bomb" canisters.
£20 or so, I think, should take care of it.
That said though, you could use a low foam detergent with a wet/dry vacuum, assuming it's something spilt on the carpets and not airborne from the vents - in which case the AC needs run for a while, with possibly one of the "bombs" designed to neutralise any bacterial build up that may be present.

Yes thanks - I have heard about the "bombs" so will enquire locally - hopefully will do the trick

(Don't know why my original post was in name of morrisminor as I thought I had lost that id!)

You can buy an air conditioner cleaner from Comma or (Halfords) which may well help freshed up the interio. Costs around £8 and is simple to use.

Also clean out your pollen filter and give the headlining / dashboard / door cards etc a really good clean.

You could try the old method of place coal on a peice of newspaper in your car. Soaks up odours. Just dont by coal drenched in lighting fluid.

Coal?
Thought it was charcoal?
