Brilio.net - When driving a car, especially when the windows are closed, a car freshener is needed for comfort and relaxation. According to californiascent.id, a car freshener can increase driver concentration by up to 54%.
There are many car fresheners available on the market, but it is important to choose one that suits your taste and does not cause dizziness or nausea. Some gel-based fresheners can damage the car's interior because they melt quickly, causing the cabin and AC evaporator to turn yellow.
However, there is an easy and economical way to make your own car freshener using a single kitchen ingredient. This method is not only economical, but it also provides a long-lasting scent without the risk of damaging the car's interior.
To get around this, you can use a car freshener made from natural ingredients, such as kitchen ingredients. This method was demonstrated by a netizen named Putrigandelania. In one of her TikTok videos, she admitted to knowing this car freshener made from kitchen ingredients when driving online transportation.
"Yesterday, I was distracted every time I took a Grab, there was a fragrant bundle. What's certain is that the smell doesn't make you nauseous," he said, quoted by BrilioFood from TikTok @putrigandelania on Saturday (11/23).

"If you feel it's still not enough, you can wipe it or dry it in the sun," he said further.
