DIY: Removing Rubber Odor from Spare Tire , Rubber Mats, or Rubber Stuff!

I have a 2018 Honda Clarity and 2017 Chevy Volt which I bought spare tires for. I hate the rubber odor from the compact tires, as i have the tires surface mounted in my trunk. I tried a few methods to lower or remove the smell from the trunk. See steps taken below or on the video.

Steps I took to remove the rubber smell from my car:

  1. Use baking soda ( https://amzn.to/32VPorO ) to absorb order in trunk.
  2. Vacuum trunk after using baking soda
  3. Wash rubber tire / mat with dish washing liquid ( https://amzn.to/2ye0WbJ ) and rinse
  4. Soak rubber tire / mat with white vinegar ( https://amzn.to/2Mh0GAZ) . Solution Mixture 1 cup per gallon of water . I used my shower stall, by plugging the drain, and pouring about 5 gallons of the solution in to the stall. I soaked each side of the tire in the stall solution for about 3-4 hours on each side.
  5. Wash off and rinse the vinegar with dish washing liquid and rinse.
  6. Place the tire in sunlight area for 1 day. Expose the other side for a 1 day in the sun.
  7. DONE. Replace the rubber tire or mat back into the trunk.

CLEANING DIY: HOW TO REMOVE OLD STICKY RUBBER with TOOTHPASTE!!!

CLEANING DIY: REMOVING STICKY RUBBER from old rubber or plastic.

So you have old rubber or plastic that has become sticky and gummy. I had an old ON GUARD (OG) bike cable lock i got years ago ( https://amzn.to/2JOhyxh ) with rubber parts starting to break down and got sticky. Btw, my Youtube vlogs and reviews may also have associated affiliate links to products that may earn from qualifying purchases.

I made a quick video on how to remove old sticky rubber from rubber parts and plastic. All you need is TOOTHPASTE!!! Any cheap too paste will do ( https://amzn.to/2y7pD9x ) and a terry cloth or box of shop rags ( https://amzn.to/2SAtQfr ) you plan to use get dirty or throw away later. I used a whitening toothpaste from my bathroom and an old terry rag.

You want to put the toothpaste on the sticky rubber. Massage and coat the sticky parts. Then use a DRY terry cloth rag to rub and polish the toothpaste and sticky rubber off. This will remove 70%-80% of the stickiness. Put a second coat on, and use another side of the terry cloth and rub the toothpaste and sticky rubber off again. After the second pass, the plastic should clean. Do a third pass if you like.

Then rinse off with water and test the stickiness. It should be clean and polished with the toothpaste. Most of the gummy rubber will transfer to the rag with the toothpaste.
Wash and reuse the rag, or clean more sticky items before disposing of the rag.

DONE! Simple, and no harsh chemicals!

DYI: How to Remove Dash Camera Mounts from Windshield

So you need to remove your dash cam mount from your car windshield. What is the easiest and fastest way? Here is a quick how to using dental floss from your medicine cabinet or the dollar store ( https://amzn.to/2lfJL6l ) .

Btw, my Youtube vlogs and reviews may also have associated affiliate links to products that may earn from qualifying purchases.

You can also use fishing line which will be tougher. You will need about 2-3 yards. Take dental floss and use multiple strands 2 or 3 to create a strong fiber to hold in both hands to cut the mounting foam from the top to bottom.Holding the two ends of floss, slowly cut through the foam. After splitting the foam, you can use your hand to peel back the adhesive foam from the windshield and the dash camera plastic mount. This whole process took about 3-5 minutes and was pretty simple. Repeat the process for the rear camera if it was mounted to the rear glass. Becareful of the heating elements.

The dual dash camera i bought was the AUKEY dual dash camera ( https://amzn.to/2jL5jr3 ) . works well. The reason I needed to take if off was my windshield developed a crack and needed to be replaced. I wanted to save the mount and replace after the new glass was installed. The AUKEY dash cam kit came with multiple 3M foam tape mounts. Otherwise I would have to buy more 3M black vhb foam tape ( https://amzn.to/2jN0cXo ).
