Proper Methods To Reduce And Eliminate Smoke Odor

Smoke odor is one of the more difficult odors to remove from your interior. The nicotine and tobacco can trap itself inside the cloth fibers across your entire interior (in areas you can’t even see).

The two biggest factors to how much odor we can remove will come down to 1) how long it’s been smoked in and 2) how much it was smoked in.

The longer (and more intense) smoking that’s took place in the interior, the harder and longer it will take us reduce the odor to a satisfactory level. Unfortunately if it’s a severe condition of years of heavy smoking, our chances of removing 100% are extremely low.

At that point, we can definitely reduce the smoke odor, but to get rid of the smoke odor entirely, it would require you to replace some of the fabric material like the headliner, carpeting, and floor mats.

Smoke Odor Removal FAQs

Please reach us at Eliteautospaservice@gmail.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

Do you remove the seats and carpeting?

At this time, we do not remove seats or carpeting for the smoke odor process. Although it would help depending on the condition and severity, we can get to the areas we need with the variety of brushes, steamers, and extractors we have.

Can you guarantee the odor will be removed?

It really depends on the condition of the interior and the severity of the smoke odor. Our goal is always to remove as much as we can, and if possible, eliminate it altogether. If we do our entire smoke odor process and the odor comes back a few days or weeks later, at no extra charge, we’ll do another Ozone treatment.

What products do you use?

For odor removal, we use very specific products and equipment to neutralize, reduce, and eliminate smoke odor. This is not just using a generic degreaser or steam cleaner to clean the fabric surfaces. Each step we perform has a purpose to achieve our end goal.

Will I smell any chemicals once the service is complete?

The only way you won’t smell any of the cleaning process is if we give it enough time to air out. We expedite that process by placing multiple air-movers across the interior.

Can you remove every stain?

Due to the nature of stains and the material it’s on, some will come off better than others. We have extensive knowledge, experience, and use premium tools, products, and machines, but even with all that, if a stain has been there long enough, it can only be cleaned so much.
