Many car air fresheners are loaded with synthetic fragrances and plasticizers like phthalates, which can create an unhealthy environment in your car. An eco-friendly way to deodorize your car requires you to raid your grill: Fill a large tea strainer (the kind for a whole kettle of tea) with charcoal, then hang it on the rearview mirror or place it in a side pocket in the car. The natural deodorizing properties of the charcoal will absorb odor and help your car smell like nothing at all.
