Best Car Air Fresheners in the UK

If you need a simple and unobtrusive solution for the toughest odours, the pack of Febreeze car air fresheners may be right what you’re looking for. Rather than masking unpleasant odours lingering in your car, it truly cleans them away, leaving your car smelling fresh.

First off, we would like to note that the pack consists of six small air freshener devices. They are quite subtle and non-descript. With their grey and silver colours, they blend in discretely with the dashboard. With that, they don’t take up too much space in your car. Each unit comes with a small clip to fit neatly and securely onto the interior air vent grilles or any other suitable surfaces.

After installation, you have to push back on the plastic tab to unleash the scent. There is a small slider control on the top of each one to let you adjust the intensity of the fragrance. That is to say, if you move the 'lever' towards the left, you’ll restrict the amount of scent, and vice versa.

Unlike cheap air fresheners, the Febreze doesn’t have an overpowering smell. The scent described as 'Cotton Fresh' is gentle and reminds the original blue-coloured fabric conditioner. So, we believe it’ll suit most people. Each unit is supposed to last for 30 days on the lowest setting. And since each pod should last a month, this box contains 6 months’ worth.

To recap, we can highly recommend these easy-to-use and unobtrusive air freshening vent clips for cars and vans. They will certainly cover up the unpleasant smells you get from pets, cigarettes, and general use.

What we have on hands is not a simple air freshener but an aesthetically nice kit of oil diffusers. They look fabulous and work even better.

Aroma House offers two car diffusers lockets that are made from high-quality stainless steel that won’t tarnish or fade over time. Each piece boasts high polishing craft and smooth surface. Plus, there is a black protector on each clip so as to avoid scratching your car interior.

How to use these unique, cute little things? Simply open the diffuser locket and put a pad into it. The package includes as many as 32 different-colour refill pads (and a little pink bag for storing them) but the main surprise is that they are all unscented. It’s completely up to you to change the fragrances to suit your mood. Simply pour 2-3 drops of your favourite essential oil onto the pad and enjoy a nice aroma in your vehicle. And when it starts to lose its strength, apply more. Or you can always swap out a pad for new oil or perfume without changing the car vent itself. Pads are washable and reusable, meaning this pack is a big save.

Suffer from excess humidity and unwanted smells in your car? If so, the Apalus Air Purifying Bag is exactly what you need. It’s a great buy that can help you kill two birds with one stone.

The product in question is a miraculous bag that not only effectively removes bad odours but also absorbs smoke, excess moisture, allergens, and mildew. The thing is that it’s filled with organic carbon that naturally purifies the air from bacteria, mould, chemicals like benzene, ammonia and aldehyde, thus, making the air much healthier.

As an additional benefit, the activated carbon of Bamboo fights fungus and even prevents fogging of your car’s windows. As you see, the benefits are numerous, and if you’d ask us to mention some flaws, the only one would be that it’s fragrance-free.

On the upside, the bag doesn’t require refills and is almost maintenance-free. You just place it and forget it. It’ll work for you 24/7 to continuously keep your car air fresh, dry, healthy, and odour-free.

The overall lifespan makes approximately 2 years, meaning it's one of the longest-lasting options on the market. During that time, you just need to place the bag outside, under direct sunlight once a month. 1-2 hours will be enough to restore the magic properties of activated carbon.

A 500g bag covers up to 22 sq. meters, meaning it can be used not only in vehicles of all sizes but also in bathrooms, closets, kitchens and any other place that needs to be refreshed. A super-versatile product on all levels.

Cigarette smoke, pets, take-away food, spilt drinks, damp clothes… all that makes vehicles pretty smelly. And if you’re in the market for an efficient, immediate solution, we have included the Autoglym Autofresh in our review. Actually, it’s not a typical air freshener you can see in most cars but a secret weapon from the strongest smells.

Proudly made in the UK, it boasts a powerful formula that seeks out odours and rapidly neutralises them. To specify, the spray doesn't just mask smells but destroys them, breaking down even the toughest ones.

The Autoglym Autofresh spray should be applied to carpets or fabric trim; however avoid spraying the solution on nubuck leather, suede, plastic and painted surfaces.

In case you have unwanted overspray, simply remove it with a microfibre cloth. If the smell still persists, the manufacturer recommends cleaning the area additionally with the Interior Shampoo. This combo will bring you the best results.

As for the fragrance, the Autoglym Autofresh spray smells just fresh. And not surprisingly, the smell goes away after a week or so. So, you’ll need to redo every week.

The Yankee Candle company has been on the market since 1969 and is definitely knows its onions when it comes to incredible scents. It produces a wide variety of fragrances from classic, time-tested scents to fun new collections. Yet they are all very true-to-life. And this pack of three scents is a great proof.

What we have here are three fragrance-infused paperboards that can last up to a month, making your car smelling fresh. To be more precise, the included smells are Sun & Sand, Beachwalk, and Island Spa. All of them are very refreshing and can wrap you with tropical island vibes. Fresh sea breeze, sweet exotic flowers...What can be more calming during the busy traffic?

Each car jar air freshener is filled with 12 g of fragrance that is supposed to last for a month before it fades. And to get that longevity, we would recommend you to snip just a small section of the plastic away. This way, the jar will release a smaller amount of the fragrance that will last for longer and won’t seem overpowering at the beginning.
