Does your car ever get that stale smell…?

If so, you might want to try out the hack you’re going to see in the following video.

A TikTokker named Ovet posted a video on the social media platform and showed folks how a simple air conditioning tweak in their cars might be the key to fixing their smelly cars.

Ovet bought a $4 can of ArmorAll FreshFX spray and headed out to a Honda.

He told viewers they should turn the AC off and spray the air freshener directly into the AC vents.

Ovet suggested that folks should then crank their AC to the highest setting to spread the goodness around.

Ovet let the AC run for a bit and he also sprayed the freshener into vents near the windshield wipers after he popped his hood.

He suggested rolling down your car windows for ten minutes to let air circulate.

This sounds like a great idea!
