FAQ
Odor Removal Questions
Can you really remove smoke smell from a car?
Yes. Cigarette and cigar smoke permeates every porous surface inside a vehicle — fabric, carpet, headliner, and even plastic trim. We use a combination of ozone treatment, enzyme cleaners, and deep extraction to break down and remove smoke residue from all surfaces. Most vehicles require one to two treatments for complete elimination.
What is ozone treatment and is it safe?
Ozone treatment uses an ozone generator to produce O3 molecules that oxidize and destroy odor-causing bacteria, mold spores, and chemical compounds. The process is performed in a sealed vehicle while unoccupied. After treatment, the ozone quickly converts back to regular oxygen, leaving your cabin fresh and completely safe to breathe.
Can you remove mildew smell caused by Georgia humidity?
Absolutely. Georgia's high humidity creates the perfect environment for mold and mildew growth in vehicles, especially under carpets and in trunk areas. We extract moisture, treat affected areas with antimicrobial solutions, and use ozone to kill mold spores. We also identify and address the moisture source to help prevent recurrence.
How long does odor removal take?
A typical odor removal service takes 3–5 hours, including interior deep cleaning, ozone treatment, and drying time. Severe cases such as heavy smoke damage or extensive mold may require a second visit. We'll assess your vehicle and provide an honest timeline before we begin.
