My simple three

A CAR owner has found an affordable way to give her car's interior a more pleasant smell.

She posted a brief video to her TikTok account highlighting the funk-fighting scent hack.

Stephanie Hoffman (@stephielouwho91) began the clip by showing off the product in question while sitting inside her car.

"So they sell these at Dollar Tree," she began. "It's one dose ... of these Downy Unstoppables, that smell f**king delicious."

She showed a small black box of Downy Unstoppables, which are laundry scent boosting beads that can be added to washing machines to give a fresh scent to laundry.

"I got a little mesh bag, and I just poured them in there and put it over my little doohickey thingy there," she continued.

An orange-tinted mesh bag was then shown filled halfway with the scent beads and bag strings hung around the steering wheel lever on the right side.

"It makes my car smell amazing for weeks," she concluded.

The clip made a splash, racking up more than 54,000 views and another 1,300 likes.

Viewers flooded the comment section with more helpful advice on how to fight smelly car interiors.

"Mix the unstoppables with some hot water in a spray bottle.. Girl!! awesome fabric scent booster for ur car, bed carpet etc. It changed my life try it!" one girl wrote.

She wasn't alone in this line of thinking, with another commenter explaining a similar hack.
