The Importance of Fresh Cabin Air:

A clean cabin not only enhances your driving comfort but also contributes to your health. Regular maintenance of your car’s filters and odour removal helps to:  



  • Improve Air Quality: Remove dust, pollen, and allergens, providing a healthier environment.  
  • Eliminate Unpleasant Odours: Neutralize lingering smells, creating a more pleasant driving experience.
  • Enhance HVAC Efficiency: Ensure optimal performance of your heating and cooling system.


Easy Tips for Freshening Your Car’s Cabin:


  • Replace Your Cabin Air Filter:

      • The cabin air filter traps dust, pollen, and other particles from entering your vehicle.  
      • Consult your Nissan’s owner’s manual for the location and replacement intervals of your cabin air filter.
      • Replacing the filter is a simple DIY task, or you can have it done at Morrey Nissan of Burnaby.

  • Clean Your Interior Thoroughly:

      • Vacuum carpets, seats, and crevices to remove dust and debris.  
      • Wipe down surfaces with a mild, all-purpose cleaner.
      • Pay attention to areas prone to odour buildup, such as cup holders and storage compartments.

  • Address Lingering Odours:

      • Use an odour-neutralizing spray or gel to eliminate persistent smells.
      • For stubborn odours, consider using activated charcoal or baking soda, which are natural odour absorbers.  
      • Leave a box of baking soda in your car overnight to absorb unwanted smells.

  • Check and Clean Your HVAC System:

      • Run your air conditioning and heating systems to ensure proper airflow.
      • Inspect air vents and clean them with a soft brush or compressed air.
      • Consider using an HVAC system cleaner to eliminate mold and bacteria.

  • Ventilate Your Vehicle Regularly:

    • Open windows and doors to allow fresh air to circulate.
    • Park in a shaded area to prevent excessive heat buildup.
    • Allowing fresh air to circulate will greatly help in removing odors.

Rain Season Visibility: Wipers, Glass, Lighting and Defog

The worst driving conditions in the Lower Mainland are not snow.

That situation is dangerous, and almost every contributing factor is something you can fix in an afternoon for very little money. Visibility is the... Read more
