Auto Odor Removal & Smoke Remediation
When your vehicle doesn’t smell clean, it makes every drive less pleasant. Even if you aren’t a smoker, your car can absorb strong, unpleasant smells from sweat, animals, and other lingering odors like mold or urine. Although there are many products on the market that can help you cover up the odors in your car, only a professional detail can eliminate the odors completely, making your car smell as fresh as it looks.
Neptune Mobile Detailing is the Richmond area’s trusted source for car odor removal services. We bring our services right to your driveway, providing efficient car smell removal that will make you love your car again. Read on to learn more about our Richmond car odor removal services.
Richmond Car Ozone Treatment
For the most efficient car smoke and odor removal, we use high-end ozone treatments. This service permanently kills odors caused by smoke, sweat, mold, and other organic substances. In a nutshell, ozone is a naturally occurring gas that’s made up primarily of oxygen. If you’ve ever noticed the smell in the air before a storm, you’ve experienced natural ozone that’s being generated in the atmosphere. It’s an incredibly powerful sterilizer, and it makes unpleasant odors a thing of the past.
So, how does it work? First, we’ll clean up the source of the odor as necessary. Once your interior has been thoroughly cleaned, we’ll place the ozone generator in your vehicle and let it get to work! Ozone treatment takes about half an hour to two hours on average to complete, depending on how intense the smell is. In order for all of the ozone to clear out of your car, you’ll want to keep the windows and doors open for at least an hour before driving.
The Importance of Removing Car Smoke Smell
Smoke doesn’t just make your vehicle smell bad – it makes it less safe for you and your passengers. When cigarette or cigar smoke seeps into your vehicle’s interiors, the chemicals produced by that smoke sticks around, too. Prolonged exposure to cigarette and cigar smoke can lead to all kinds of health risks, from headaches and allergies to severe respiratory issues and even cancer. In order to protect yourself and your passengers from the risks associated with tobacco smoke, it’s important to have your vehicle cleaned and sanitized by trained professionals.
How To Clear The Smoke Smell from Your Richmond Car
Our car smoke odor removal follows a few simple steps:
-
First, we will shampoo and steam the interior of your vehicle.
-
Next, we’ll remove any loose items and vacuum your vehicle.
-
Once your vehicle’s interior is clean and clear of debris, we will place the ozone generator in your car.
-
Depending on the intensity of the odors, the ozone generator will run for half and hour to two hours. It’s important that no humans or pets are in the car while the generator is running.
-
After the ozone generator has finished running, we will open all of the windows and doors to let out the gas.
-
If there is still a lingering odor, we will repeat this process as many times as necessary.
