How do I get a mothball smell out of a car?
By Pam H.
Try putting an open dish of vanilla in the car (only when you are not driving it of course) or set a couple of pieces of charcoal in a bowl in a couple places. Both absorb odors.
Try putting a bowl of white vinegar in the car overnight (or maybe several nights). It's great at removing cigarette smoke, might remove moth ball odor. Hope it helps.

I can't get the moth ball smell out of my car! I have pretty much tried everything to take out the smell.
