    These unconventional, green tips will help get rid of car smells and keep unwanted odors at bay.

    Sniff salts
    Pour fragrant bath salts into a loose-leaf tea strainer, and place it in the glove compartment for a fast refresher every time you pull out the map.

    Get a whiff of wax
    Drop a potpourri wax tart- commonly made by candle companies-into a cup holder, and take your favorite scent with you wherever you go.

    Dry and drive
    Lay fresh herbs, such as basil, on a piece of newspaper in the backseat and leave the windows rolled up to dry the leaves and banish bad odors.

    Sprinkle oil
    Shake a few drops of lemon or eucalyptus essential oil onto car mats for a naturally sweet scent that will last a few weeks.
