My car smells like moth balls

[quixotique]

My new car smells to death like moth balls. I'm actually allergic to mothballs so I didn't know it smelled like moth balls. I thought it smelled like engine, so I guess I lucked out. But I want to get rid of the mothball smell

Febreze the shit out of it and leave the windows open for the next few days since it'll be nice out.

I'm afraid of a febreeze/mothball mixture that will be even worse than mothballs. ;o) I'll proogress to that solution. =oD

Fresh air is about the best option upfront. So leave your windows open if you can.

Give the car a really good vacuum as well, maybe that'll help lift some of the odor.

If I didn't have an allergy to the stuff, I'd just find a girl to have sex with in the back seat every day for a few weeks till it wreaked of sex.... guess that's not really a solution... doh!!!

Thanks for your suggestions. I thik a vacuum is a good idea.

Couple boxes of baking soda throughout the car might help too.

Let's hope!!! I might scrub the surfaces with baking soda and water.
