Eliminate the Tobacco and Nicotine Smell from Your Vehicle
​
Smoke odour is one of the most challenging odours to remove from your vehicle's interior. Nicotine and tobacco residues can embed deeply into fabric fibres, affecting areas you might not even see. We specialise in smoke odour removal and offer an effective solution to help restore your vehicle’s interior.
​
The effectiveness of our smoke odour removal service depends largely on two factors: How long the vehicle has been exposed to smoke and the intensity of the smoking that has occurred. The longer and more intense the smoking, the more challenging it will be to fully eliminate the odour. While we can significantly reduce the smoke smell, completely removing it in cases of years of heavy smoking may be difficult.
​
In extreme cases, we may recommend replacing certain fabric materials, such as headliners, carpets, and floor mats, to completely eradicate the odour. However, our process will drastically reduce the smell and leave your vehicle smelling fresh.
​
Intensive Interior Cleaning and Smoke Odour Removal Process
​
For effective smoke odour removal, the process takes time, and this is not a typical 3-hour job. We require a minimum of two days to ensure the service is done correctly and thoroughly. Our goal is not to mask the smoke odour with a fragrance or perfume but to eliminate the nicotine and tobacco layers trapped in your vehicle’s interior. This ensures long-lasting results, leaving you with a smoke-free vehicle.
​
Over the past year, we’ve successfully handled some of the most severe smoke odour cases, and we are confident in our ability to restore your vehicle. To start, we’ll arrange a time to inspect the interior and discuss the best options for your car.
Many valeting companies in Liverpool offer basic odour treatments, such as shampooing or steaming, but these methods are often insufficient for serious smoke odour. Our comprehensive process ensures a deeper clean and more effective odour removal.
​
Our Smoke Odour Removal Process
​
Here’s a breakdown of our detailed smoke odour removal service:
​
1. Thorough Vacuuming
We begin by vacuuming every surface of the interior, including the headliner, under the seats, carpets, floor mats, and other hard-to-reach areas, ensuring that no tobacco residue is left behind.
2. Cleaning Plastic & Leather Surfaces
We use a specific smoke odour cleaner to treat all plastic, leather, and rubber surfaces, ensuring every corner is cleaned to remove lingering nicotine and tobacco residues.
3. Fabric Extraction
Using our hot water extractor and a tobacco-specific cleaner, we shampoo the seats, carpet, floor mats, seat belts, and, where possible, the headliner to remove embedded smoke particles.
4. Window and Mirror Cleaning
All interior windows and mirrors are cleaned to remove any smoke residue, ensuring a streak-free, clear finish.
5. Complete Interior Drying
Once cleaned, the interior must be fully dried. We use industrial-grade air movers to expedite the drying process. Drying time can vary depending on the severity of the smoke odour.
6. Ozone Treatment
We use a commercial-grade ozone machine to neutralise and eliminate the smoke odour. The ozone treatment lasts between 2 to 5 hours, depending on the severity of the odour. We may repeat the process as needed to ensure the best results.
​
Important: We also replace your vehicle’s cabin air filter. If the old filter is kept, the smoke odour trapped inside will circulate back into the cabin once the AC is used.
​
While the steps are straightforward, the entire process can take between 10 to 15 hours to complete. Most of this time is spent allowing the ozone treatment to fully air out the vehicle. Due to the extensive nature of this service, we require the vehicle to be dropped off for at least one and a half days.​

Frequently Asked Questions
​​​
Can you guarantee that the odour will be completely removed?
We always aim to remove as much smoke odour as possible, and in many cases, we can eliminate it completely.
​
Can this service be done at my home or office?
Due to the complexity and length of the process (which can take over 10 hours), we require the vehicle to be dropped off at our Liverpool location. While we offer mobile detailing services, smoke odour removal requires the specialised equipment and time that can only be provided at our location.
​
What products do you use for smoke odour removal?
We use specialised smoke odour removal products and equipment designed to neutralise, reduce, and eliminate tobacco and nicotine smells from your car. This isn’t just a generic steam cleaning or degreaser treatment – our process is specifically tailored to tackle smoke odour at its source.
​
Will I smell chemicals after the service is complete?
No. We ensure that any lingering smells from the cleaning process are completely gone before returning your vehicle to you. After our ozone treatment, we use air movers to help the vehicle air out, ensuring a fresh, clean interior without any chemical smells.
​
Can you remove all stains?
While we can remove many stains with our advanced tools and techniques, some stains – especially long-term ones – may be difficult to fully eliminate. We will always do our best to reduce or remove stains as much as possible, but some may be permanent depending on the fabric or material.
