You Drive Our Results
Definition Detailing are experts in removing odours from vehicles. We work with a wide range of organisations and individuals to fully remove smells such as cigarette smoke, pet odours and spilt milk
Lingering odours can make even the cleanest vehicle feel unpleasant, turning every drive into a reminder of smoke, pet smells, damp, or spilled food and drink. These stubborn odours don’t just sit on the surface, they embed themselves deep within your car’s fabrics, ventilation system, and hidden crevices, making them difficult to remove with standard cleaning methods. That’s where Definition Detailing’s vehicle odour removal service comes in. Rather than simply masking bad smells with air fresheners, we eliminate them at the source through a meticulous deep-cleaning process combined with professional ozone treatment, ensuring your car smells fresh and truly clean.
We start with a comprehensive interior valet, targeting every surface where odours can linger. Seats, carpets, and upholstery are deep shampooed and extracted to remove trapped bacteria, stains, and odour-causing residues. Headliners and door panels are carefully cleaned, ensuring no area is left untouched. We sanitise and treat all hard surfaces, including dashboards, centre consoles, and door trims, lifting grime and neutralising unpleasant smells. Air vents and other hidden areas are also thoroughly cleaned, preventing musty, stale air from circulating when you turn on your heating or air conditioning.
Once the deep cleaning process is complete, we take things a step further with a powerful ozone treatment, the most effective method for eliminating stubborn odours that cling to your vehicle’s interior. Ozone (O₃) is a highly reactive gas that breaks down and destroys odour-causing bacteria, smoke residue, and volatile organic compounds, penetrating areas that even the most thorough manual cleaning cannot reach. Unlike traditional deodorisers or air fresheners, which only mask smells for a short time, ozone treatment works at a molecular level to completely neutralise unpleasant odours, leaving behind a truly fresh and purified environment.
Whether your vehicle has been affected by cigarette smoke, pet odours, food spills, mildew, or any other persistent smell, our process ensures that every trace is removed, restoring your car’s interior to a clean, fresh state. This service is particularly beneficial if you’re planning to sell your car, as a fresh and odour-free interior can significantly improve its appeal and value.
At Definition Detailing, we pride ourselves on delivering results that go beyond expectations. Our vehicle odour removal service is designed to provide a long-lasting solution, ensuring that once an odour is removed, it stays gone. If you’re tired of unpleasant smells making your car feel less than inviting, book your treatment today and enjoy the fresh start your vehicle deserves.

They’ve really mastered the art of detailing, the Maserati Ghibli is proof. The kids had made a mess in the back but the smell and the stains are all gone. Great communication and even better results.

The Land Rover is looking fresh, definitely using them again. I'd tried everything to get the cigarette smell out of the headlining, but their treatment finally sorted it. I'm chuffed to bits with the finish.

The Seat is looking 10/10, couldn't be happier. The car had a persistent smell of old tobacco, but it's been totally cleared out. The car is gleaming, thank you!

They made the whole process easy and the Land Rover Defender 110 V8 looks brilliant. The kids had made a mess in the back but the smell and the stains are all gone. A real credit to the industry.

We start by carrying out a full deep clean of the vehicle’s interior, ensuring all surfaces are free from dirt, dust, and residue that may be holding onto odours. Seats, carpets, and upholstery are deep shampooed and extracted to remove trapped odour-causing particles. In cases of heavy smoke contamination or long-term exposure to strong smells, we also clean the headlining, as fabric roof linings are highly absorbent and often hold onto smoke, nicotine, and other airborne contaminants.
Odours can also settle on hard surfaces, so we thoroughly clean the dashboard, centre console, door panels, and air vents using specialist cleaning agents. This removes any residue left behind by smoke, food spills, or bacteria, ensuring a completely fresh interior.
The air conditioning system is another area where odours can linger. We apply a specialised cleaner through the vents and air circulation system to remove built-up bacteria, dust, and contaminants that could be contributing to stale smells when the system is in use.
Once the vehicle has been fully cleaned, we carry out an ozone treatment to eliminate any remaining airborne odour molecules. An ozone generator is placed inside the car, producing O₃ molecules that penetrate deep into fabrics, air vents, and hidden areas, breaking down odour-causing bacteria and neutralising smells at a molecular level. This step ensures that even the most stubborn odours, such as smoke, mildew, or pet smells, are fully removed rather than just covered up.
After the ozone process is complete, we allow the vehicle to fully ventilate, ensuring all traces of ozone have dissipated and the air inside is clean and safe to breathe. A final inspection is carried out to confirm that all odours have been successfully removed.
For those looking to maintain a fresh interior for longer, we offer optional fabric protection treatments to prevent future odours from setting in. This helps repel spills, dirt, and contaminants, making it easier to keep your vehicle clean and fresh.
Our vehicle odour removal service is designed to tackle even the most persistent smells, using a combination of deep cleaning, air system treatment, and ozone purification. Whether your car has been affected by years of smoke exposure, pet odours, or damp, we ensure that every trace of unwanted smells is removed, leaving your vehicle fresh, clean, and properly sanitised.
