Drivers are just realizing an easy ‘water spray trick' makes your car smell fresh and only costs a few cents

A RESOURCEFUL car owner has revealed how she keeps her car's interior smelling fresh without breaking the bank.

The content creator demonstrated how to create the spray solution she used to spray inside her car to fight the funk.

Taking to her TikTok page, Jordyn Homan (@jordydelilah) filmed while sitting in the driver's seat of her car.

"If you're [an] absolute sucker for these jawnies, keep watching," she began the brief clip, while showing off a bright blue Little Trees car air freshener and highlighting her Pennsylvania roots.

Jordyn took a moment to breathe in the smell of her car before admitting: "I absolutely love when my car smells so good."

She lamented that she has to change out the hanging air fresheners once a week to keep up her car's fresh smell.

"So basically, I just got these dryer scent beads, never used them before," she continued.

The TikToker showed the tube full of small bright blue beads typically used in the washing machine to give laundry an extra fresh scent.

After a brief struggle with using her nails to open the perforated plastic seal, she then showed the camera an empty plastic spray bottle.

She carefully poured the beads from the palm of her hand into the pink-tinted bottle.

"I don't have, like, a funnel or anything, so this is probably the best way to do it," she said, as a few of the beads fell into her lap, much to her chagrin.

The beads only filled the very bottom of the bottle before she poured in room temperature water from a water bottle.

"I'm not gonna use too much because I want it to be pretty strong," she said before shaking the bottle in circular motions.

"OK now I think it's just gonna dissolve. We're gonna spray it all over the place and hope for the best."

She got to work spritzing the makeshift solution onto the rear seats.

The camera then cut to her looking over her shoulder toward the back seat to find out if her affordable hack worked.

"No yeah that smells pretty damn clean," Jordyn admitted delightfully.

People flooded the comments with their thoughts and advice on the clever scent trick.

"Hey girlie I’ve been using this method for years," one commented. "Try using hot water for the beads to dissolve then add softener and a bit more water!"

"Ummmmm not meeee running to my car with all the supplies," another commented.

Jordyn responded: "DO ITTT it smells SO good!"

Another person commented with some more helpful advice for keeping the interior fresh between spray sessions.

"Now put some beads in a salt/pepper shaker with exposed holes on top and leave it in your cup holder for hot days," he said.

Jordyn praised the recommendation: "So smart! Ty!"

One commenter asked if the hack would work on leather seats, though Jordyn warned her viewers to tread lightly.

"I’d be careful cause I’m sure the product would leave a residue on leather.. maybe if you have carpeted floor mats?" she replied.

Other car owners have taken to TikTok to reveal their car cleaning secrets for everything from keeping the cupholders squeaky clean to preventing scratches and dings when another car parks too close.
