Car interior odors, smoke, milk, pet, gas etc
Many odors, especially those originating from a liquid source, may be difficult to remove from your vehicle’s upholstery, carpet and liner material. Liquid spills nearly always penetrate beneath the fabric into the foam inside of cushions, and into structural materials below. Your IICRC certified technician may be able to inject odor treatments beneath the fabric, but will not be able to tell if the treatment has reached all of the source.
Vapor odors such as cigarette and dog dander can travel throughout the vehicle contaminating the HVAC system, liner materials, foam cushions and other unreachable areas. Some service providers offer a fogging system to treat vapor molecules in hard to reach areas.
There may be risks of permanent staining from materials beneath the fabric or carpet that can bleed, stain or discolor the fabric after treatment.
Replacing deeply contaminated seat foam and carpet cushion, along with a thorough cleaning and deodorizing of the complete interior, fabric and carpet may be necessary for heavy contamination.
