Ivan323 Neutral Newbie March 27, 2007 Share March 27, 2007 Hi guys, I need advise from u guys on how to remove rubber smell inside my car. Few months back, i brought a new set of 3A carpet for my car but the problem is, i couldn't remove the rubber smell from the carpets. I tried a few ways but still couldn't help. I had tried buying those air-con cleaner selling at esso which come in green or yellow can oso useless. I even brought a few type of air-freshers to cover up the smell but it only last for the first few days den the smell reuturn again. I had oso tried soaking the carpets with car shampoo oso couldn't help!! I thought the smell will go out itself after a few months of usage but i'm wrong.. Anyone of ur has the similar type of carpets n share the same experience? How do u guys remove the rubber smell permanent? The smell is kinda strong when u haf park ur car overnight but the smell will go off when u start driving.. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Circuit Clutched March 27, 2007 Share March 27, 2007 that kinda rubber smell hard to go off... until regulary wash and sun...the thing then go off... cos of the rubber coating to prevent rubber cracking... so smelly... later then i change to 3M carpet... save all my trouble...

Fcw75 Hypersonic March 27, 2007 Share March 27, 2007 No smell with my 3M mats too. Maybe it's the quality of the 3A mats. Sometimes it's good to pay slightly more for better quality stuffs. The $ u spent and the hassle u went thru' trying to cover the smell are juz not worth it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
