Why Odor Removal Isn’t Just About Air Fresheners

💨 Why Odor Removal Isn’t Just About Air Fresheners

Bad smells can ruin the driving experience — whether it’s smoke, spilled drinks, food, pet accidents, or mildew. But masking it with a fragrance doesn’t fix the problem.

At UNO Detailing, we don’t cover up odors — we attack the source.

🧪 What Causes Vehicle Odors?

• Spilled milk, coffee, or food between seats
• Cigarette or cannabis smoke soaked into fabric and headliner
• Pet urine or accidents left untreated
• Mold or mildew from moisture or leaks

🔧 What We Actually Do

• Deep shampooing of carpets, mats, and upholstery
• Steam cleaning for hard-to-reach areas and deep sanitation
• Hot water extraction to lift odor-causing bacteria
• Enzyme treatments that break down organic matter at the root
• Interior ozone treatment when necessary

📌 Why Odor Removal Takes Time

• Odors live in layers — carpet, foam, headliner, vents
• Every surface must be cleaned and dried properly
• Multiple steps are needed for tough smells like smoke or pet urine

💬 Real Talk

We’ve had cars come in that “smelled clean” for a day — until the cover-up faded. That’s why we focus on eliminating the cause, not hiding it.

🎯 Final Thought

If you’re serious about removing bad smells, we’ll do it the right way. No shortcuts. No gimmicks. Just real results.
