The Best Car Smoke Odor Removal Specialists in Long Island
Utilizing the proper methods to reduce and eliminate smoke odor
Smoke odor is one of the more difficult odors to remove from your interior. The nicotine and tobacco can trap itself inside the cloth fibers across your entire interior (in areas you can’t even see).
The two biggest factors to how much odor we can remove will come down to 1) how long it’s been smoked and 2) how much it was smoked in.
The longer (and more intense) smoking that’s took place in the interior, the harder and longer it will take us to reduce the odor to a satisfactory level. Unfortunately if it’s a severe condition of years of heavy smoking, our chances of removing 100% are extremely low.
At that point, we can definitely reduce the smoke odor, but to get rid of the smoke odor entirely, it would require you to replace some of the fabric material like the headliner, carpeting, and floor mats.
Intensive Interior Cleaning an Odor Removal Process
For any level of smoke odor, it will not be a quick 4-hour job like you’s find with our Full Interior Cleaning service. We require the vehicle to be not driven for a minimum of two days so we ensure the process is done correctly.
The goal of the service is to not mask the smoke odor with a fragrance or perfume. It’s to remove, reduce and eliminate the layer of nicotine and tobacco that’s left behind from smoking across your interior. This is the only way to ensure long term results. Once we deliver the car to you, we want to make sure the odor is not coming back.
Fortunately, we have tackled some pretty heavy smoke odor vehicles over the last year and we’re completely confident in our process. We can setup a time and date to inspect the interior and dicuss the type of options we can produce for you.
There's not many places in Long Island that specialize in proper smoke odor removal. Simply shampooing or steaming the interior is not enough to greatly reduce or eliminate the odor.
If you just have a lingering odor because the interior hasn’t been cleaned in a while, perhaps our Full Interior Cleaning service is a better fit for your needs.
It is absolutely necessary you replace your cabin air filter with a new one. If you keep the old one in, even after we do the entire odor removal process, once you turn on your AC, all the trapped smoke odor in the filter will circulate right back into the interior.
Although it’s only a six-step process, it can take between 10 to 15 hours to completely finish the service. A majority of the time comes down to waiting for the Ozone treatment to be finish and air out so we can inspect it.

Smoke Odor Removal FAQs
Do you remove the seats and carpeting?
We do not remove seats or carpeting for the smoke odor process. Although it would help depending on the condition and severity, we can get to the areas we need with the variety of brushes, steamers, and extractors we have.
Can you guarantee the odor will be removed?
It depends on the interior's condition and the smoke odor's severity. Our goal is always to remove as much as possible and eliminate it. If we do our entire smoke odor process and the smell returns a few days or weeks later, we'll do another Ozone treatment at no extra charge.
Will I smell any chemicals once the service is complete?
You will not! The only way you won’t smell any of the cleaning process is if we give it enough time to air out. We expedite that process by placing multiple air movers across the interior.
Can you remove every stain?
Due to the nature of stains and the material it’s on, some will come off better than others. We have extensive knowledge and experience and use premium tools, products, and machines, but even with all that, if a stain has been there long enough, it can only be cleaned so much.
