The Basics

What is Ozone Smell Removal?

Odors in a car come from tiny particles trapped in fabric, foam, vents and headliner: cigarette smoke, mildew, spoiled milk, wet dog, a forgotten takeout bag. Spraying scent over them only masks the problem for a day or two. Ozone Smell Removal combines an ozone treatment with a chemical treatment to break those odor molecules down at the source.

Ozone is a powerful oxidizer, which is exactly why it works and also why it is done carefully. The vehicle is treated while empty and sealed, then ventilated before you get back in. It works best on top of a clean interior, so we pair it with the normal detail instead of treating a dirty cabin.

Our Process

How Ozone Smell Removal Works

Find and remove the source

Odor treatment cannot beat a rotting french fry. We clean or pull out the actual source first, whether that is a stain, trash, wet carpet or a clogged drain.

Chemical pre-treatment

A deodorizing treatment is applied to the fabric and surfaces where smell lives so it can start breaking odor compounds down.

Sealed ozone cycle

With no people, pets or plants inside, the cabin is closed up and the ozone generator runs through a treatment cycle, reaching vents and fabric that cleaning cannot.

Ventilate

The vehicle is aired out fully before anyone sits in it so the ozone clears and what is left is just clean air.

Smell check

We do a final smell test, and tell you honestly if a stubborn odor may need a second round.

Who It's For

Smokers and ex-smokers, or buyers of a used car that has smoked in
Cars with mildew or a damp smell from a leak or wet carpet
Pet owners whose car smells like their pet even after vacuuming
Anyone who spilled milk, formula or food and cleaned it up but can still smell it

Good To Know

Ozone is not safe to breathe at treatment strength. The car is closed and empty during the cycle and ventilated afterward.
It works best after the source is cleaned. It does not replace removing a spill, stain or moldy material.
Very heavy smoke or long-standing mildew may need more than one round. We tell you what to expect.

Pairs Well With

Ozone Smell Removal Questions

Is ozone treatment safe?

It is safe when done correctly. Ozone is only released into a closed, empty vehicle, and we ventilate it fully before returning the car. Nobody should sit in the vehicle during treatment.

Will the smell come back?

If the source has been removed and treated, it should not. If the smell is coming from something ongoing, like a leak or damp carpet, it can return until that is fixed.

Does it remove cigarette smoke?

It is one of the best tools for smoke odor, especially combined with a headliner and seat clean. Heavy long-term smoke may need more than one treatment.

Will my car smell like chemicals afterward?

Some people notice a brief clean, slightly sharp smell right after treatment that fades as the car airs out.

Can pets or kids ride right away?

Not until the cabin has been ventilated. We handle that step and tell you when the car is ready.
