Odor Removal in Henrico: What Is It?
Odor removal on cars is a process of eliminating and neutralizing unpleasant and lingering smells from the interior of an automobile. Over time, cars can develop various odors due to food spills, cigarette smoke, pet odors, mold, mildew, and other sources. Odor removal services are designed to identify the root cause of the smell and use specialized techniques and products to effectively eliminate the odor, rather than just masking it temporarily. Schedule your time and come to Astonishing Detail today in Henrico, VA!
Why Your Car Needs a Deep Clean
The average family practically lives in their cars, and let’s face it – living leads to a myriad of lingering odors. Many odors are just part of daily activity like perspiration, dirt, pets, spilled liquids, dropped food, mold and mildew, dirty sneakers, tobacco smoke, paint, gas, kerosene, remains from the latest fishing trip, and stale perfumes, etc. Caused by bacteria, odors cannot be eliminated by a simple shampoo, harsh chemicals, or spraying perfumes and deodorizers to cover them up. Over time, your car becomes a toxic dump, even to the point of being a health hazard. Believe us – Astonishing Detail has experienced them all!
IICRC Certified in Odor Control
Astonishing Detail certified technicians can sometimes use an Ozone Machine to remove odors; however, an ozone machine will not remove the odor until the source of the odor is removed and any residual is cleaned. Fortunately, most odors can be removed completely or at least improved enough to satisfy most drivers. Our proprietary cleaning, sanitizing, and deodorizing process restores the look and smell of your vehicle while protecting the seats, floor mats, and other materials affected. We specialize in eliminating inorganic, organic, and biologically malodorous odors whether they are mild or extreme. Rapid response to the problem is key! The longer an odor remains, the more difficult it is to remove, and the scope of work and property damage increases with time as well.
Don’t Cry Over Spilled Milk
There are clumsy accidents like dropped food and spills, while others are contributed to more serious accidents like urine and vomit. Before you try shampooing urine spots, bring your vehicle to Astonishing Detail. Water causes the bacteria to spread deeper into the carpet and seat padding. When you consider a small dog can deposit over 4 ounces of urine into an area, you need Astonishing Detail to help you remove it!
After the Flood
Water damage in vehicles can occur due to floods, leaks, or open windows, leading to corrosion, mold, and mildew. Mold can spread unseen into upholstery and may produce harmful toxins. Astonishing Detail’s Certified Mold Professionals (CMP) remove mold and mildew, though severe cases may require interior replacements, such as carpet padding or moldy seat belts.
Critter Infiltration
Vehicles can attract infestations of insects and rodents, causing odors and contamination. Critters are drawn to decaying food or road sludge, and even dead animals can enter your vehicle through the ventilation system. Astonishing Detail treats such infestations, ensuring a clean and odor-free interior.
Flood-Damaged Car Odor & Mold Removal by astonishing detail
Odors caused by cigars, cigarettes, illegal substances, and fire leave smoke residue that infiltrates fabrics and fibers. Your heating and air conditioning ventilation system and air intake manifold may also be blocked or contaminated. Astonishing Detail can decontaminate and sanitize your air filtration so your vehicle smells fresh and clean.
Hazard Zones
Astonishing Detail has experienced vehicles suffering from hazardous spills such as battery acids, gas, kerosene, weed killers, liquid Drano, antifreeze, air conditioning coolant, fire extinguisher explosions, and chemical detergent spills, as well as roadway spills like tar, glue, and oil. Bodily fluids and oils, and drug and smoke resins leave behind pathogens like the Hepatitis B virus that are dangerous to children and adults.
Ozone Treatment
This treatment oxidizes organic contaminants in much the same way chlorine does. An ozone generator converts the oxygen found in the air to O3, or ozone. As with chlorination, proper concentrations and contact time is essential for disinfection.
Air Conditioning System Treatment
For a germ and allergen-free driving experience, we kill mold and prevent new mold growth throughout the HVAC system and passenger cabin with a safe and effective service.
Elimination of Tough Odors
Odor removal services are designed to tackle stubborn and hard-to-remove odors, such as smoke, pet odors, food spills, and more. Professional technicians use specialized equipment and products to neutralize these odors effectively.
Preserves Interior Materials
Lingering odors can sometimes indicate the presence of contaminants that may harm the car’s interior materials over time. Removing odors promptly can help preserve the quality and longevity of the upholstery, carpets, and other interior components.
Stress Reduction
Unpleasant odors can be distracting and contribute to stress during driving. Odor removal can help create a more calming and enjoyable driving experience, reducing the potential for driver fatigue.
FAQs
How often should I clean my car's interior to prevent odors?
Regular cleaning is crucial in preventing odors from building up. Aim to clean your car’s interior at least once a month, but more frequently if you notice any smells or spills.
Can we use household cleaning products on my car's interior?
Car owners should be cautious when using household cleaning products on their car’s interior, as some may damage sensitive surfaces. Always test a small inconspicuous area first and use cleaning products designed for car interiors whenever possible.
How can we remove pet odors from my car?
Start by vacuuming and removing any pet hair or debris to remove pet odors. Then, use a pet-specific odor neutralizer or enzymatic cleaner to break down and eliminate the odor-causing molecules. Ensure your car is well-ventilated during the cleaning process.
