Strange Smell

Lately, just in the past few days, every time I get in my car after it has been sitting for a while, there is a strong smell like rubbing alcohol. Nothing was spilled, nothing has been done to the car, I can't figure out what it is! Does anyone have any clue what the hell this might be???

clean the carpet and the seats

see if after there's still the smell, if so, something is possibly leaking

can u pinpoint the smell to a certain part of the car?

if the problem consists you should take the car to the dealership and they will take care fo the problem very easily and they have to do it for free since you bought it with warranty

Can't pinpoint it except to say that I smell it when I get in the car. After a little while of getting fresh air in the car it goes away but it comes back the next time it sits.
