Best Spots to Hang an Air Freshener in My Chevy?

Questions and Support

I think backseat hanging is fine for family cars. It helps keep the scent spread out, especially on long trips!

22

I’ve tried the hanging ones for a while, but they fade fast. Do you have any tips to make them last longer, or should I just invest in vent clips?

23

Try sprinkling some baking soda on them; it can help absorb odors and extend their life a bit!

Also, did anyone ever notice that vent clips tend to leak? I’ve had a couple that left a sticky mess in my car. Beware!

25

Oh no! That’s the downside of vent clips. Maybe they’re not for me. I like to keep my car clean!

26

I’ve found that hanging the air freshener from the rearview mirror is quite common, but make sure it doesn’t block your view. Consider hanging it from the visor instead for better visibility and safety.

27

Great point! I usually clip them to the air vents. It keeps them out of sight and minimizes distractions while driving.

28

Just a thought, but avoiding any placement that could fall into your controls is key. You don’t want it hanging over the gear shift! Safety first!

29

Absolutely! I prefer sticking mine in the cupholder. It’s safe and keeps the scent contained.

If you’re feeling adventurous, how about a custom air freshener on the dash? Just make sure it doesn’t block the AC vents, though. Balance is everything!

I just want to add that I once had an air freshener unexpectedly fall during a drive. It was quite the distraction! Secure placement is definitely essential.

32

Yikes, I can only imagine how that went! I usually put mine on the passenger side door handle to help avoid that issue. Keeps it out of the way!

33

It’s great to hear all these suggestions! I can’t help but wonder if some scents can be more distracting than others. What do you all think?

Interesting question! I’d say strong scents might distract more than subtle ones. A light, refreshing scent can keep you alert without overwhelming you.

35

True! Although, some people love those stronger scents. I guess it’s all personal preference.

For fun, I used to hang one shaped like a pine tree from my mirror. It was a classic and definitely started conversations at gas stations!

Ah, the nostalgia! Just remember, it’s all about safety, too. Gotta keep the fun in line with driving rules.
