How to Remove Odours from Your Car — The Power of Ozone

If you've ever sat in your car and been hit by the smell of cigarettes, damp, dog hair, or just a funky mystery odour, you're not alone. Odours in cars can linger for months — even after a basic clean.

AquaGleam offers ozone treatment as a 30-minute add-on after the odour source has been removed or cleaned. It supports odour reduction, but it cannot correct an untreated source or guarantee permanent removal.

🚫 Why Regular Air Fresheners Don't Work

An air freshener will only mask the smell, not eliminate the source. If you've spilt milk, smoked in your car, or have had pets riding in the front seat, those odour particles are embedded in the fibres of your seats, carpet and headliner.

The first step is cleaning the materials that hold the smell. Once the source has been removed or cleaned, OZONE treatment can help with what remains.

💨 What Is Ozone Treatment?

Ozone (O₃) is a reactive gas used in controlled treatments to reduce some odour-causing compounds.

After an interior deep clean, we place an Ozone generator in the centre of your vehicle and circulate the air.

The gas can reach areas that are difficult to treat directly, but the physical source of an odour must be removed or cleaned first.

Important: Ozone is an add-on treatment, not a substitute for source removal. Results vary with the material, contamination, and how long the odour has been present.

✅ The Deep Clean + Ozone Combo

Before ozone is used, the relevant source must be removed or cleaned and the interior must be assessed as suitable for treatment.

Once cleaning is complete, the unoccupied vehicle is treated and ventilated following the equipment's safety procedure.
