SMOKE ODOR REMOVAL
Smoke odor is challenging to completely eradicate from your vehicle. It's essential to address the issue at its source, as merely masking the scent with air fresheners or using superficial treatments will only provide temporary relief.
​
The accumulation of tar residue from repeated smoking sessions can exacerbate the problem, leaving behind a discoloration on light-colored interiors, serving as a visible reminder of the smoke's stubborn presence. Prolonged exposure to smoke causes it to permeate deeply into the upholstery, requiring a thorough cleaning process that targets every inch of the vehicle. Extraction and steam method is the best to visibly remove any residue in all of the upholstery. After the interior is fully dry its time to prep for the next to important steps to ensure a successful removal.
​
Replacing the cabin air filter is highly recommended to ensure there is no lingering smell still in the vents. If the cabin air filter is easily accessible without dismantling the interior we will gladly replace it at the cost of the filter. The final step now is to use a more scientific approach.
​
This is where chlorine dioxide comes in. It releases a yellow-colored gas, which is far smaller than smoke molecules, making it an excellent choice to oxidize the invisible smell.
Please note the vehicle should circulate for at 1-2 hours depending on size & pungent odor. Worse case scenario overnight, with a possibility of another chlorine dioxide bombing in extreme cases at additional cost. Once the time is up the vehicle need to be aired out for at least 30 mins. There may be a chlorine smell for the next few hrs.
​
Preparation time depends on the current condition of the vehicle and size. If its a extremely large neglected vehicle and the odor is very pungent it may take 2 days.
The cleaner the vehicle, the odds of a same day turnaround are better.
Please expect at least 6 total hours for completion
