The feeling of entering a good-smelling car is something that's hard to put in words. You can now save the time you spend finding the right perfume and make it yourself. All you need is a string, some felt sheet, and your favourite essential oil. Cut the felt sheet in the shape you want and get creative by using multiple colours. You can then punch a hole through it for the string to pass so you can hang it on your rear-view mirror. The final step is to drop a few drops of essential oil onto the sheet and your car perfume is ready. Keep the bottle of essential oil in your car for replenishing your perfume every now and then.

A carabiner is not just a useful accessory for your backpack. You can use it in your car as well. Just have a few hanging from the back of your headrest. This will allow the people at the back to hang stuff like their umbrellas and bags from them. They can also be used to hang waste bags for disposing of tissues, wrappers and other waste items.

Hand sanitiser for de-icing car lock

After the pandemic, nobody needs to be reminded to keep hand sanitiser in their cars. It's one accessory that will certainly be present in your car or even your pocket all the time. But did you know that it's a great agent for melting the ice on your keyhole? So those living in icy conditions where the locks tend to freeze during the winters can definitely use this accessory for quickly unlocking their car.

Toothpaste on the headlamps

If you notice that your headlamps have lost their power a bit, there's a neat little hack that you can use for cleaning them. And the only accessories you'll need are a tube of toothpaste and a toothbrush. Just apply some toothpaste on the headlamp and rub it all over with the toothbrush. Let it sit for a while before rinsing it off. You'll immediately notice that the foggy glaze that covers them has vanished.
