The past couple of times my husband has taken his car in for regular service, they told him he could use an air filter. It’s not something that is a necessity, but it is helpful and beneficial. We (embarrassed to admit it) just kind of shrugged it off. I mean, who leaves the dealership after service wanting to spend more money? Not me.
My husband drives approximately 30,000 miles a year in his car. He has a large territory in the DC, Virginia, Maryland and Pennsylvania area and drives a ton to get to all his stores. When I was asked to review this FRAM Fresh Breeze® cabin air filter, I decided I wanted to try it out. With all that time my husband spends in the car, one has to wonder about the air he’s breathing. Did you know that the air inside your car can be 6 times dirtier than the air outside? Well, I think that’s just gross. Maybe the guys at the dealership knew what they were talking about after all…
FRAM Fresh Breeze cabin air filters filter out 98% of the dust, dirt and allergens in your car. On top of that, they are actually the only air filter that uses Arm & Hammer® baking soda to remove odors that may come into your car with the outside air. With all the pollution and toxins we all are so constantly exposed to, it’s refreshing to see something so simple make such a big difference in the air you’re breathing. Speaking of simple, this thing is a breeze to install. Basically, you open your glove compartment, take all of the napkins and packets of ketchup living in there out, disengage the door and pull out the air filter tray. You don’t need fancy tools or a mechanic. All you need is your FRAM Fresh Breeze cabin air filter (that will run you around $15) and you’re set!
Interested in improving the air quality in your vehicle? The FRAM Fresh Breeze cabin air filter is available for most vehicles and you can purchase them at many major retailers.

Great idea, but I think that mostly bad smells come from the air conditioning systems, so try to clean it http://myairmatics.com/ I think it's very important to take care about your air conditioning system filters every year.
