Road Trips, Boy Feet and #FebrezeCar
There’s nothing like packing up the kids, loading everyone into the car and hitting the road! First, the sibling rivalry kicks in, before backing out of the driveway, then the snacks get spilled 20 miles in and finally, one of the boys takes off their shoes and we’ve still got 150 miles to go. If you’ve never been cooped up in a car with teen boy feet you don’t know what you’re missing – maybe stick your smeller into the nearest trash can for half an hour? You’ll get the picture!
Add to all of this the fact that its March. And we live in Northern New England. Winter has been cold and steady this year. We get into the car, go where we need to go, hit an occasional drive through, get to our destination, return home and run as fast as we can into the house – it’s too darn cold to be searching the third row seat for dropped french fries and spilled Hi-C’s, forgotten gym clothes … Which means that about the time spring finally rolls around there’s a mess, a thawing scatter of three months worth of droppings under the seats, in the seats, on the seats … By the time we see the sun and it reaches 50 degrees on the thermometer we’re ready to don tank tops, flip flops and shorts and it’s time to clean the car out! Well,, maybe no tank tops and flip flops but it’s definitely time to give the car a good spring cleaning and a new fresh scent like my favorite #FebrezeCar Vent Clips with Gain Scent Island Fresh Air Freshener. If you love the laundry soap you won’t be disappointed!

One time I accidentally left raw chicken in the trunk of my car. It started to smell really bad in my car, and I could not figure out what it was. Finally I checked the whole car out and found the rotting chicken! It smelled awful.

We just have a daily problem because of eating in the car and smoking.

My worst stinky car story is when I left a gallon of milk in my trunk and some of it was leaking from the carton. Of course it was on a hot summer day. The bag rolled to the back of my trunk and I didn’t realize I left it in the car until the next day and my SUV had a horrible smell.
Oh boy that had to be the worst! I’ve had one of the kids spill a chocolate milk and not tell me and that was really bad too!
I like the vanilla latte scent.

Every time I drive through Richmond it smells up my car. There is a water treatment plant and paper factory. The smell stays in the car for a long time.
A dead mouse. I had bought a mouse for my son’s snake, and it chewed out of the cardboard container before I got home. It climbed under the dash and froze to death. When it started thawing out, the smell was horrific. In the dead of winter, I had to drive with my window down. I finally took the car to the chop and they found the mouse and got rid of it.
I would choose the Linen and Sky scent.
I would have to say Hawaiian Aloha is my favorite.

I have the Febreze with Gain Scent Island Fresh Fabric Refresher.. and I love the way it smells.
When got my first car, many, many years ago.. I got a doggy bag from a restaurant. I didn’t want it to fall off the seat and spill so I put it on the passenger seat floor. Somehow the container slid under the seat. I didn’t notice and I totally forgot about it.. until it grew mold and started to stink. Ugh.. it was SO gross. It was under there for at least a week in the Summer. I still get grossed out thinking about it.
I would have to say that the best scent so far is the Hawaiian Aloha.
Mediterranean Lavender would be my favorite scent.
I like the Meadows and Rain scent.
Today Spring & Renewal scent sounds nice to me.
I love the Hawaiian Aloha, but since there are so many other wonderful scents, I try others for a change too!

My worst stinky car story is the one where we drove across country. When we finally got to our final destination we had the car completely cleaned out. Unfortunately almost a month later we found some fresh fish which my husband had caught along the way and had fallen in between the seats.
