Get Rid of Lingering Smells — Not Just Mask Them

If your car smells bad, sprays and air fresheners won’t fix it — they just cover it up. Whether it’s smoke, mildew, food, pet accidents, or mystery odors that won’t go away, our professional Odor Elimination Treatment is designed to neutralize odors at the source, not just hide them.

At RoamShine, we use deep-cleaning tools and proven odor neutralizers — including ozone treatment, steam, and enzyme-based products — to restore freshness to your cabin. This is real deodorizing, not a cheap scent bomb.

When to Get an Odor Treatment

  1. After smoke exposure (cigarettes, cannabis, fire)
  2. For pet urine, dander, or lingering animal smells
  3. After spills of milk, coffee, fast food, or moldy moisture
  4. When prepping a car for sale or lease return
  5. After long storage or water intrusion
  6. For rideshare/fleet vehicles used by multiple drivers

If you’re tired of driving with the windows down or cringing every time you get in — this treatment is for you.

Our Odor Removal Process

This isn’t a one-scent-fits-all solution. We tailor our approach based on the type of odor, interior material, and severity:

Step-by-Step:

  1. Inspection – Identify the odor source (seats, carpets, A/C vents, spills, etc.)
  2. Interior Vacuum + Wipe Down – Remove surface debris and dust
  3. Targeted Deep Cleaning – Steam + enzyme treatments on seats, carpets, headliner
  4. Ozone Generator Treatment – Breaks down odor particles in the air and vents
  5. Optional Cabin Filter Replacement (if needed, recommended for smoke/mildew)
Ozone treatment reaches places even steam can’t — inside ducts, under seats, and behind panels — safely breaking down odor-causing molecules.

Safe for You, Tough on Odors

  1. We use non-toxic, professional-grade products
  2. Ozone machines are run only in an unoccupied, closed vehicle
  3. After treatment, your car is aired out and safe to enter
  4. We never oversaturate fabrics or leave behind residue

Let us know if you have kids, pets, asthma, or allergies — and we’ll adjust our approach to be extra gentle.

FAQs – Odor Treatment

How long does the ozone process take?

Usually 30–45 minutes per cycle. Heavier odors may require longer or repeat sessions.

Will this work for smoke smell?

Yes — especially when combined with seat and headliner cleaning + ozone. We’ve eliminated heavy smoke odors in everything from sedans to exotics.

Can I drive my car right after?

We recommend airing it out for 20–30 minutes before entering. We’ll let you know when it’s safe and ready.

What if the odor comes back?

If the source wasn’t fully removed (like mildew under carpet), it may return. We’ll advise you honestly before starting — and show you any hidden damage we find.

TL;DR — Odors Gone, Not Covered Up

Your car shouldn’t smell like the last five years of takeout, road trips, or cigarettes. We’ll clear the air — literally — and help your car feel clean, fresh, and yours again.
