We offer smoke odor removal services at Solis Auto Detail ! 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).
For smoke odors the two biggest factors to how much odor we can remove will come down to 1) how long it’s been smoked in 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 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 and Odor Removal Process
For any level of smoke odor, it will not be a quick 3-hour job like you’d find with our Deep Interior Cleaning service. We require the vehicle for at least 6 hrs to be able to properly do the job.
The goal of the service is to not mask the 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 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 for us to come and see the vehicle so we can inspect the interior and discuss the type of options we can produce for you.
There’s not many places in Tyler 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 light lingering odor because the interior hasn’t been cleaned in a while, perhaps our Deep Interior Cleaning service is a better fit for your needs.
The Solis Smoke Odor Removal Process
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 6-8 hours to completely finish the service.

Odor Removal FAQs
Do you remove the seats and carpeting?
At this time, 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 really depends on the condition of the interior and the severity of the odor. Our goal is always to remove as much as we can, and if possible, eliminate it altogether. If we do our entire 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?
We can! but due to the extensiveness of the cleaning, we do advise you plan ahead as this service can take 6-8+ hrs.
What products do you use?
For odor removal, we use very specific products and equipment to neutralize, reduce, and eliminate odors. 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?
​
There will be a lingering smell of the ozone treatment and that's why we recommend to let your vehicle air out for an additional 4-6 hrs to completely let that smell disappear, once that has been done there should be no smell left in the vehicle, if there is we will do a second ozone treatment free of charge
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.
