Mold and Mildew Odor Removal Service for Cars

A musty smell inside your car is often caused by hidden mold or mildew. Our mold and mildew odor removal service eliminates these odors at the source using deep cleaning, moisture control, and ozone or antimicrobial treatments. We treat the cause—not just the smell.

Common Signs of Mold and Mildew in Vehicles

• Persistent musty or damp smell

• Foggy windows or condensation inside

• Water stains on carpet or headliner

• Odor intensifies when the AC or heater runs

• Previous water leak or flood damage

Mold spores can grow in carpets, seat foam, trunk liners, and HVAC systems—especially after spills, leaks, or high humidity.
