Asheville Mobile Detailing Service
Car Odor Removal Service
What This Service Covers
Odor removal focuses on finding and treating the source of persistent smells rather than simply covering them with fragrance. Depending on the issue, the process in Asheville can include deep interior cleaning, steam treatment, targeted extraction, and ozone treatment to neutralize odor-causing compounds throughout the cabin and ventilation pathways.
When You Might Need It
This service is useful when odors from smoke, pets, mildew, spills, or prolonged humidity return quickly after normal cleaning or air fresheners. It is especially important in humid climates where moisture can encourage mold and bacteria growth in fabrics and hidden cabin areas, creating recurring odor problems and discomfort for drivers and passengers.
Why It Is Worth Doing
Professional odor removal improves day-to-day driving comfort and helps maintain a cleaner cabin environment by reducing odor-causing contamination in porous materials. It also supports resale appeal, because interior odor is one of the first issues buyers notice, and comprehensive treatment is far more effective than temporary masking products.
Our Process
- Source Removal: We locate and physically clean or extract the source of the odor.
- Steam Cleaning: We use high-temperature steam to kill bacteria in fabrics and vents.
- Ozone Treatment: We run an industrial ozone generator for 2-4 hours to neutralize airborne molecules.
- Air Out: We thoroughly ventilate the vehicle to remove ozone residue.
Common Questions
Does the ozone smell linger?
Ozone has a distinct "chlorine-like" smell that usually dissipates completely after 24-48 hours of fresh
air.
Is the smell guaranteed to be gone?
If the source is fully accessible and removed, yes. Deep liquid saturation (e.g., leaked milk/gas) may
require carpet replacement.
