Assessing and treating severe vehicle odours
Vehicle odours have many causes: spilled liquids, forgotten food, damp animals, smoke, mould or contamination beneath a seat. In used vehicles, persistent tobacco odour can be particularly difficult because residue settles across fabrics, plastics, glass and ventilation paths.
AVP's approach begins with removing the source rather than covering it with fragrance. The affected surfaces are identified, cleaned and dried as thoroughly as the materials and access allow.
Only then does supplementary odour treatment begin. Depending on the case, a controlled fogging process may help distribute an approved treatment through the cabin and into narrow areas that direct cleaning cannot reach.
Application time, product concentration, equipment position, ventilation and material compatibility all matter. This work should be carried out by trained staff, with the vehicle unoccupied and the current product safety instructions followed exactly.
The customer process remains straightforward: we inspect the car, explain the likely source and agree the useful scope. The vehicle can be brought to Glattbrugg, and selected mobile assignments can be discussed separately.
No severe odour should be guaranteed away before inspection. Contamination in seat foam, underlay, insulation or technical systems may require parts to be removed or replaced. AVP will explain these limits honestly and define any assurance only for the documented treatment.
For an assessment, call 0800 288 673 from Monday to Saturday or send us the vehicle details and known odour source.
