Car Odor Removal
Odor removal is a full-cabin treatment for smoke, pet, food, and mildew smells. I clean out the source first, then treat the whole cabin with chlorine dioxide, which breaks the odor down instead of covering it with a scent.

Why does the smell keep coming back?
Most car odors live in the carpets, seats, and foam. Spilled milk, pet accidents, and smoke residue soak into the fabric, so an air freshener only covers them for a day or two. That is why odor work goes with an Interior Detail: the source gets cleaned out before the cabin is treated.
How does the treatment work?
After the interior is clean, I treat the cabin with chlorine dioxide and keep the doors and windows shut for about an hour. Then the car airs out. It can smell a little like chlorine at first, and cracking the windows overnight clears that. I use unscented products and check with you before adding any scent.
What makes an odor harder to remove?
Years of heavy smoking, a spill that soaked through to the foam, or mildew from a leak can take more than one round. A mildew smell usually means water is getting in somewhere, and that leak needs fixing too. If you can see mold growing, the job is mold remediation instead.

Common questions
Is odor removal included in an Interior Detail?
No. It is the Full-Cabin Odor Elimination add-on. Pick it with an Interior or Full Detail on the booking page.
Can you get rid of cigarette smoke smell?
Most smoke smell gets much better with a deep interior clean and the odor treatment. Heavy smoke that has soaked into the headliner and foam for years may need more than one treatment, so I do not promise every trace is gone.
Will my car smell like chemicals after?
It can smell a little like chlorine right after the treatment. Cracking the windows overnight clears it. I check with you before adding any scent.
