Most odors cannot get rid of by just simply removing the source. The reason is that the smell or odor caused by the remaining bacteria has completely permeated into the fabrics and carpeting of the vehicles. The mal odor comes from the by product of these bacterias as they multiply. Some odors get trapped in areas that are not visible to us such as the air conditioning vents or the cavities of the door panels and dashboards. Using air scents or car freshener can only mask the odor, but won’t resolve or remove the problem permanently.

Detail Addict offers useful application of odor control products and biocides that effectively reduce or eliminate odor problems through the process of neutralization. There are three basic treatment procedures available to control odors or remove them as much as possible: trigger spray, hypodermic syringe, and electric thermal fogger. Multiple subsequent treatments maybe required depending on the severity level of odor, certain circumstances, and specific odor situations.

A. Trigger Sprayer:

A spray of odor counteractant and biocide is applied to the surfaces. This method is best for localized surface layer of the affected areas but does not go as deep as the Hypodermic Syringe method.

B. Hypodermic Syringe:

Biocide is injected under carpeting and into padding. This process directly treats deep into the affected area where the source has penetrated such as seat cushions and carpet pads.

C. An Electric Thermal Fogger:

A thermal fogging agent is applied to the entire car and air conditioning vents. This smoking or fogging method penetrates all areas. It’s generally used for odors that are widespread like tobacco smoke particles.

For an effective odor removal treatment we suggest to completely remove and clean the deposits, residues, or by product of the odor source and its location prior to odor removal treatment. Any leaks, spills, or damped areas should be dried.
