Question · Odor Removal
How do you remove pet odor from a car?
Vacuum the hair first (always more than you expect). Enzymatic cleaner on cloth and carpet. Extract with hot water. Ozone or hydroxyl overnight. The enzymatic step is non-negotiable.
This question is part of our Odor Removal service. See the full service overview, what's included, and how to schedule a walk-around.
WHEN THIS IS NOT THE RIGHT CALL
When to pick something else.
If there is an active urine spot on the carpet, replacement of the underlying padding may be required. Ozone alone does not fix urine. The urine crystallizes into the padding and bacteria keep feeding on it.
FAQS
Common follow-up questions.
Will the smell come back the first hot day?
With proper enzymatic treatment, no. If it does, the enzymes did not get to all of the source — usually means urine in padding that needs another pass.
My dog rides every day — should I bother?
Yes. Quarterly enzymatic pass keeps the smell in check. Otherwise it compounds.
Pet hair is everywhere. Help.
We use the rubber pet-hair tools that drag hair to the surface, then vacuum. Heavy pet hair adds 60-90 minutes to a detail.
