Why does my car cabin smell like crayons only when parked in sunshine?
Our answer
Heat releases waxy trim or adhesive odours from interior plastics; inspect for melting or electrical faults if scent is new and intense.
Why this approach makes sense
Materials, cleaning instructions and equipment design vary. Pick a reversible approach that fits the exact surface or appliance.
Before you try it
