Car Odor Removal
Our Odor Neutralizing Process
Our car odor removal process is designed to be thorough, methodical, and completely convenient for you. Because every situation is different, we don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. We follow a careful sequence of steps to identify the specific cause of the odor and apply the most effective treatment for a lasting solution.
01
Initial Consultation & Booking
It all starts with a conversation. When you schedule your service, we'll ask a few questions to understand the type and severity of the odor in your vehicle. This initial information allows us to prepare the right tools and solutions before we even arrive at your home or office.
02
Arrival and Source Identification
HEPA vacuum first, then controlled steam flushes crumbs, spills, and bacteria from seams, cupholders, seat rails, and HVAC vents. Safe for leather, fabric, child seats, and touchscreens. This step leaves surfaces clean and refreshed without soggy carpets or chemical smells which is perfect for tackling spring pollen and summer humidity build-up that can cause odors.
03
Targeted Odor Treatment
With the source identified, we begin the treatment process. Depending on the cause, this may involve deep steam cleaning, applying our specialized odor-neutralizing solutions to affected surfaces, or running an ozone generator. We meticulously treat all necessary areas, from carpets and upholstery to the headliner and vents.
04
Final Air-Out and Quality Check
Once the treatment is complete, we take the time to properly ventilate your vehicle's cabin. We then conduct a final inspection before showcasing your renewed vehicle for you to drive with confidence.

Benefits of Car Odor Removal
Why Choose Berger Mobile Detailing?

Here's What Our Customers Are Saying
Harrison, from Berger Mobile Detailing just finished my Diamond Exterior Detailing. He is such a professional & gentleman.
His prices were better than most for his top-quality work. Just look at my chrome wheel covers; they look like new & so does the whole car! I give him 5 STARS & will definitely use him in the future. I didn't take a "before" pic, but it's never been detailed before today.
It hasn't been washed since 2022, was parked outside under a tree with lots of leaf debris baked into the finish & chrome wheels black with tarnish. Trust me, he's amazing! Thank you, Harrison, for making my car GLEAM!
I just moved to DC recently. I have never had my car detailed before and was referred to Berger Mobile Detailing by my coworker. Scheduling was easy, Great Customer Service and Excellent Results. I am extremely satisfied with the services provided and grateful to be driving in a clean car again!
I’ve had a professional and quality experience with Berger Mobile Detailing. They came to my job and saved me a lot of time and effort. I didn’t worry about going to a car wash and having to clean my car myself. Apart from that the detailers were very nice and professional. The best part about Berger Mobile Detailing is there 100% satisfaction guaranteed. They are willing to come back and redo the job if I didn’t like the quality, but fortunately I didn’t have to because they were great!
I can’t say enough good things about Berger Mobile Detailing! From start to finish, the experience was flawless. Mr. Berger came right on time.
What impressed me most was not just how spotless and shiny the cars turned out, but also the professionalism, friendliness, and pride he clearly takes in his work. He went above and beyond, paying attention to every little detail that most people would overlook. It’s rare to find someone this dedicated and passionate about what they do.
I needed a mobile detailer because of my work schedule. I hired Berger Mobile Detailing because of the reviews here on Google. Harrison was wonderful to work with. My car is a custom color Audi and I wanted quality work.
They did a very thorough detailing inside and out, using my garage as needed. The car looks amazing, the interior looks brand new and they didn't use anything that smelled perfumy or chemically which I really appreciated. The paint is slick and shiny and there's no wax in the cracks. Their work is excellent. I'm extremely happy and will use them again.
Never gotten my car detailed before, saw the reviews on Berger and gave them a try. I was so impressed by the quality of the work, my car looked like it just came off the lot inside and out. Also loved the level of professionalism and communication from Harrison. Very friendly and motivated business man. I am definitely sold on getting my car detailed more often and not letting anyone else touch my car but Harrison.

Frequently Asked Questions
What causes odors inside a vehicle?
Odors can be caused by several things including cigarette smoke, pet accidents, food spills, mold, or mildew trapped in upholstery and vents. Over time, these contaminants absorb into soft materials, making standard cleaning methods ineffective. Our professional Car Odor Removal Service eliminates these odors at their source, not just on the surface.
How do you remove car odors permanently?
We utilize a combination of proprietary treatments, including ozone generator technology, steam cleaning, and specialized odor-neutralizing solutions that we developed to break down odor-causing molecules at the molecular level, ensuring the smell is permanently eliminated rather than masked.
Can you remove the cigarette smell from my car?
Yes, we can! Car Smoke Odor Removal is one of our most requested services. We target all smoke-affected areas, including the headliner, carpets, vents, and upholstery, to completely remove the lingering smell of smoke, leaving your car smelling clean and fresh again.
How long does the car odor removal service take?
