Cabin smells heavily of alcohol: be aware that a whole can of contact cleaner is now spraying itself liberally all around your boot
Cabin smells heavily of solvent: be aware that you still need to remove all those oily, Autosol-covered cloths from your boot like you should have done weeks ago
Cabin smells heavily of petrol: be aware that the automatic stop on the pump at the local Esso garage doesn't work and you should try not to get it all over your shoes next time
Cabin smells faintly of dirty fridge: be aware that it has been too long since you did your pollen filter, and also, be aware that it is located in the seventh circle of hell, somewhere inside the passenger footwell where you now need to fit your whole body
Cabin smells faintly of leather balm: be aware that you have wasted your afternoon applying expensive cleaning chemicals to seats that are (a) already perfectly fine and (b) covered so heavily in plastic that it renders the exercise wholly pointless. At least it won't last.
Not what you had in mind? Well, as Roadcraft says, you should anticipate and plan for the distractions from your driving once The Lady is introduced to any of the above.
