The #1 Car Smoke Odor Removal Service in Washington

Smoke Odor Removal FAQs

Do you remove the seats and carpeting?

Yes - if the odor has penetrated into the seats, or under-seat areas, we remove seats to reach and extract trapped smoke residue properly. Most smoke odor jobs do not require full seat removal, but when tobacco, weed, or vape odor has settled deep into the vehicle structure, we take the interior apart as needed to guarantee full odor removal.

At Bryanz Auto Detailing, we don’t just clean the visible areas — we clean the places most detailers never touch, including under seat rails, and behind trim. This is why our odor removal is permanent and not a temporary cover-up like sprays or interior “refreshers”.

However, for many of the smoke odor removal jobs we’ve worked on, removing seats is not necessary. We have a variety of machines and brushes to get into the tight areas. 

Can you guarantee the odor will be removed?

It really depends on the condition of the interior and the severity of the smoke odor. Our goal is always to remove as much as we can, and if possible, eliminate it altogether. If we do our entire smoke odor process and the odor comes back a few days or weeks later, at no extra charge, we’ll do another Ozone treatment.

Can you do this at my home or office location?

All smoke odor jobs will be done at our location. We do offer mobile detailing services, but due to the extensiveness of the cleaning, we no longer provide this service at the customers home location. The heat, rain, humidity, and debris that gets in the way while being outdoors makes it difficult to do the job properly.

On top of that, the job can take 10+ hours to complete. For the best results, we require you to drop off your vehicle at our shop for at least two days. This also applies for our Paint Correction, Ceramic Coating.

What products do you use?

We use a combination of enzyme cleaners, hot water extraction machine, steam and commercial-grade ozone generator — not store-bought deodorizing sprays. Every chemical and tool we use is selected for a single purpose: permanently neutralize and remove smoke odor, not cover it up.

At Bryanz Auto Detailing, we do not use “air freshener detail kits” or fragrance bombs. Our process is the same one used by professional restoration companies and automotive reconditioning specialist.

For odor removal, we use very specific products and equipment to neutralize, reduce, and eliminate smoke odor. This is not just using a generic degreaser or steam cleaner to clean the fabric surfaces. Each step we perform has a purpose to achieve our end goal.

Will I smell any chemicals once the service is complete?

No. Once the ozone and extraction process is complete and the vehicle is fully aired out, the interior will smell neutral and clean, not like the perform or chemicals. If you request a light scent after the process, we can add it — but most customers prefer a true zero-odor result.

If a shop makes your car smell like “cherry”, “new car scent”, it means they masked the odor instead of removing it.

This is one of the reasons why we require you to drop off the vehicle at our shop. 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, 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. Even then, Bryanz Auto Detailing uses advanced upholstery extraction, steam, and enzyme breakdown — far more effective than generic interior shampooing.
