Cigarette Smoke Odor Removal in Orange County & LA

We make cigarette smells a part of the past.

We remove cigarette smoke odor from your home, apartment, auto or condo. We remove cigarette smoke odor from homes, apartments, condos, cars, trucks and boats across Orange County and Los Angeles. We are not a cleaning company and we do not spray a scent over the problem. We run an ozone treatment that destroys the smoke molecules in the air and in the materials they have soaked into, so the smell is gone rather than covered. We come to your property or your vehicle. Call (714) 605-0846 and we can quote most jobs over the phone.

Smoke odor removal in Orange County

Cigarette, cigar and pipe smoke leaves behind oily residue and odor particles that settle into upholstery, drywall, carpet padding and HVAC systems. Once that happens, scrubbing surfaces and spraying air freshener only buys you a day or two before the smell comes back. Our ozone machines fill the space with ozone, which reacts with those odor molecules and breaks them down. When the treatment is finished, there is nothing left to smell.

We work throughout Orange County, including Fullerton, Irvine, Huntington Beach, Westminster and Newport Beach. We handle single rooms, whole homes, rental turnovers and vehicles. We have pulled cigarette smell out of a home in Century City and cockroach odor out of a Honda in Westminster, so we have seen what these machines can and cannot do.

Smoke removal in Fullerton, CA

If you are in Fullerton and dealing with a smoke smell in a house, condo or car, we will bring the equipment to you. There is no need to drop a vehicle off or move out of a unit for days. We set up, run the treatment, and the space is ready once it has aired out. Property managers and landlords in Fullerton turning over a unit between tenants are a big part of our work.

Smoke odor removal in Los Angeles

We serve Los Angeles County as well as Orange County. That covers Long Beach, Lakewood, Century City, Inglewood and the surrounding cities. Because we are mobile, we treat apartments, condos, rental homes and vehicles wherever you are. The method is the same in LA as it is in OC: we destroy the odor at the molecular level instead of masking it.

Smoke odor removal in Lakewood and Long Beach

Lakewood, Long Beach and the nearby LA cities are well within our service area. Whether it is a rental that smells like the last tenant smoked indoors for years or a personal car you want back to neutral, the treatment fits the space. Call us and tell us the size of the room or the vehicle and we can give you a price.

Smoke odor removal in Huntington Beach

We treat homes, condos and cars in Huntington Beach and along the coast. Beach properties and rentals see a lot of turnover, and smoke odor is one of the most common complaints we get called for. We come to the property and handle it on site.

What “smoke cleaning” actually means

People search for “smoke cleaning” expecting someone to wipe the smell away. The honest answer is that wiping surfaces does not remove smoke odor, because the smell lives in the air and deep in porous materials, not just on the surface. Our ozone treatment is the part that actually clears it. We are upfront about this: ozone is excellent at neutralizing smoke, pet, skunk and biological odors, but it is not carpet cleaning, water damage repair or mold remediation. If a surface is stained or damaged, that is a separate job. What we do is eliminate the smell.

  • Smoke bombs, vinegar, perfumed sprays and plug-in fresheners only mask odor temporarily.
  • Air “purifiers” and filters trap some particles but do not destroy embedded smoke odor.
  • Ozone reacts with and breaks down the odor molecules so they no longer smell.

Professional cigarette smoke removal for cars

Cars are where this treatment really shows its value, and it is most of what we do. Californians spend hours in their vehicles, and if someone smokes in the car the odor builds up in the seats, headliner, carpet and vents. A “cigarette car” is exactly that: a vehicle where tobacco smoke has soaked into everything, and an air freshener for smokers just layers a scent on top of it. We treat the whole cabin with ozone so the smoke odor is removed from the air and the materials, not perfumed over.

This is the same service detailers refer customers to when smoke odor is beyond what cleaning can fix. We have removed cigarette odor from cars and pulled rat odor out of a Tesla in Irvine. We come to the vehicle, whether it is at your home or a lot.

Who we work with

Beyond homeowners and drivers, we work regularly with property managers, rental and Airbnb hosts, apartment managers, and taxi and fleet owners. If you turn over units or vehicles often, call us about repeat business.

Frequently asked questions

Is there smoke odor removal near me?

If you are in Orange County or Los Angeles County, yes. We are mobile and come to your home, rental or vehicle. Call (714) 605-0846 and tell us your city.

Does ozone actually remove cigarette smell or just cover it?

It removes it. Ozone reacts with the smoke molecules and breaks them apart so there is nothing left to smell. That is the difference between our treatment and sprays or filters, which only mask or trap odor.

Can you treat a car as well as a house?

Yes. We treat cars, trucks, boats, homes, apartments and condos. Cars are one of our most common jobs because smoke odor builds up fast in a closed cabin.

Do I need to leave during the treatment?

The space needs to be empty of people and pets while the ozone is running and for a short time after to air out. We will walk you through it when we set up. Same-day service is available in some cases.

Will it fix smoke stains or damage?

No. We remove odor. We do not do carpet cleaning, water damage repair or mold remediation. If a surface is stained, that is a separate job from the smell, and we will tell you so honestly.
