Smoke odor removal: deep cleaning instead of air fresheners

Cigarette smoke settles into the upholstery, headliner, seat belts and ventilation and leaves a yellowish film on windows and plastics. We clean these surfaces thoroughly and add an ozone treatment where needed.

Smoke odor removal

When the smoke is long gone but the smell remains.

Whether it was you, the previous owner or a passenger: smoke settles into upholstery, the headliner and the ventilation. The smell comes along on every drive and clings to clothes and hair.

  • A stale smoke smell as soon as the fan comes on.
  • A yellowish film on windows and plastics.
  • Non-smokers among your passengers wrinkle their noses.
  • A used car that smells of its previous owner.

How it feels afterwards

An interior that smells like your car again.

Cleaned surfaces and noticeably fresher air turn a smoker's car into a pleasant place again. You and your passengers get in without taking the smell with you.

  • Noticeably less smoke smell inside.
  • Clearer windows without a yellowish film.
  • Noticeably less smell on clothes and hair.
  • A good feeling when non-smokers ride along.

How it works

Step by step

  1. 1

    Assess the odor

    Tell us how long and how much the car was smoked in. Photos of the headliner and upholstery help us assess it.

  2. 2

    Inspection and price

    At the vehicle we can see and smell where the odor sits, and we agree the price before we begin.

  3. 3

    Clean the source

    We clean every surface where smoke has settled: textiles, headliner, plastics, windows and seat belts.

  4. 4

    Ozone and ventilation

    Where it makes sense, an ozone treatment follows in the closed vehicle. The car is then thoroughly ventilated before you get it back.

Your benefits

Smoke odor removal at AG Autopflege

  • Cleaning, not perfume

    We do not mask the odor with fragrance. We remove the deposits it comes from.

  • Ozone as an extra step

    Ozone can additionally treat odors in hard-to-reach areas. The vehicle is ventilated afterwards.

  • Helpful when selling

    A car without a strong smoke smell makes a much better impression when buyers come to view it.

Good to know

  • After many years of heavy smoking, a faint residual odor may remain, especially in foam and the headliner. We will tell you beforehand what is realistic.
  • Yellowish discoloration on the headliner cannot always be removed completely, because the headliner may only be cleaned with very little moisture.

Prices

What does smoke odor removal cost?

Price after inspection, agreed before any work starts

The effort depends heavily on the condition, the material and the size of the vehicle. That is why we look at your car or at photos and tell you the price before we start. We only begin once you agree.

    Amazing experience they took us and took care of our vehicle on very short notice for PCS orders. This is the perfect place to take your car so that way the people over at the base cannot say anything about your car. They will accept it. 100% top quality

    Performed a PCS auto-detailing. They did an outstanding job including buffing out a major scuff mark. Car passed inspection with flying colors. Have already recommended them to a colleague.

FAQ

Questions about smoke odor removal

Why isn't an air freshener enough?

Fragrances only mask the smoke odor and often mix with it. The smell sits in the deposits on every surface. Only once these are removed does it noticeably improve.

How does an ozone treatment work?

The ozone generator runs in the closed, empty vehicle while nobody is inside. Afterwards the vehicle is thoroughly ventilated. Ozone complements the cleaning, but does not replace it.

What about the cabin air filter?

The cabin air filter can hold on to smoke odor and spread it again through the ventilation. If it is not new, we recommend having it replaced after the treatment.

Is it worth treating the car before selling it?

A strong smoke smell puts off many potential buyers. The treatment can easily be combined with a pre-sale preparation.
