Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About Automotive Odor Removal

1. What causes persistent odors in vehicles?

Persistent odors in vehicles can result from a variety of sources, including spilled food or drinks, smoke, pet odors, mold, or even mechanical issues like fuel or coolant leaks. Over time, these odors can embed into upholstery, carpets, and air vents.

2. How do professionals remove odors from cars?

Professional automotive odor removal involves identifying the odor's source and using specialized equipment and techniques. Common methods include:

Steam Cleaning: Removes stains and odors from upholstery and carpets.

HVAC System Cleaning: Addresses odors originating from the vehicle’s air system.
