Smoke Odor Removal

Professional Smoke Odor Removal in Germantown, WI

Smoke odor is one of the toughest odors to eliminate from your vehicle’s interior. Nicotine and tobacco particles embed deeply into fabric fibers, carpeting, and other materials, leaving behind a persistent smell that’s hard to mask or remove with standard cleaning methods.

At Ortiz Auto Detailing LLC, we specialize in removing, reducing, and neutralizing smoke odor from your vehicle’s interior. Whether you’ve had years of heavy smoking or just a lingering odor, our proven process will restore your car to a fresh, clean state.

What Affects Smoke Odor Removal?

The level of smoke odor removal we can achieve depends on two key factors:

1. How long the vehicle has been smoked in.

2. The intensity of smoking within the vehicle.

In extreme cases, such as years of heavy smoking, completely removing the odor may not be possible without replacing certain materials like the headliner, carpeting, or floor mats. However, we are confident in our ability to significantly reduce even the most stubborn smoke odors.

Our Intensive Smoke Odor Removal Process

This isn’t a quick fix—it’s a meticulous process designed to deliver long-term results. Here’s what’s included:

1. Vacuum All Surfaces

   • Thoroughly vacuum the entire interior, including hard-to-reach areas like under seats and within crevices.

2. Deep Clean Plastic and Leather Surfaces

   • Clean all plastic, leather, and rubber surfaces using a specialized smoke odor cleaner to remove trapped particles.

3. Shampoo and Extract Fabric Surfaces

   • Use a hot water extractor and tobacco-specific cleaners to deeply clean seats, carpets, floor mats, seat belts, and, when necessary, the headliner.

4. Clean Windows and Mirrors

   • Remove smoke residue from all interior glass and mirrors for a streak-free, fresh appearance.

5. Dry the Interior Completely

   • Place multiple air movers inside the vehicle to ensure the interior is 100% dry before proceeding.

6. Ozone Treatment

   • Use a commercial-grade ozone machine to neutralize odor-causing particles. This step is repeated as needed for maximum effectiveness.

Why Replace the Cabin Air Filter?

To prevent smoke odors from recirculating through your vehicle’s air system, replacing the cabin air filter is essential. An old filter can trap odors and release them back into the interior when you turn on the AC or heat.

FAQs About Smoke Odor Removal

Do you remove seats or carpeting?
In most cases, no. However, for severely affected interiors, we may remove seats to ensure a thorough cleaning.

Can you guarantee the odor will be completely removed?
