Griffith explained a half-full bottle of water and one cap of fabric softener is all that’s needed for the concoction.

“Shake the water and fabric softener, put the bottle in the freezer for 24 hours,” he began.

“Take a knife and cut an ‘X’ in the top of the lid. After you cut an ‘X’ in the top of the lid, open it up.”

He then advised drivers to leave the concoction in a cup holder overnight.

“What this is going to do is eliminate cigarette odour in your vehicle. You’re welcome,” he said.

However, users were divided on the hack’s effectiveness.

“Every time it works I’ve been doing this for summer,” one fan wrote.

“This worked great for the used car I bought.”

Some were not so impressed, with another person writing: “I tried this. Didn’t work unfortunately.”

Griffith’s method comes after a car expert revealed his top tips to save on costly repairs.

Another savvy cleaner insisted a popular viral cleaning product has the ability to fix up cars’ scratches.
