smoke

Anyone know a good way to get cigarette smoke out of a recently bought car? I recently purchased a 2006 ford explorer, and I don`t think the owner ever opened the window when she smoked in there. The deal was just too good to pass up.

A scientific approach to eliminate Cigarette Smoke Odor from Leather Auto Interior!





What is Cigarette Smoke?



These are particles of incomplete combustion with a micron size of 0.1 to 4.

In size comparison, an average human hair is between 40 – 600 microns.

Thus an average smoke particle is 156 times smaller than the human hair.



Why it is Problematic to Remove Smoke Odor?



It is the tar content when exhale; that causes smoke residue to stick tenaciously regardless of surface.

The problem is compounded due to concentration of smoke particles; that accumulate on hard surfaces and penetrates into soft surfaces.

And in an enclosed car environment where air circulation is propelled through the ducting system; the car interior is pressurized; resulting in deeper penetration into every interior cavities.

These inaccessible locations make smoke decontamination a challenging task.



How to Remove Smoke Odor Tips?



Step 1

The sticky residue has to be stripped especially those brown build-ups from the surfaces with a pH 7.7 leather prep to the OEM finish.



Step 2

A leather-safe pH 4.7 soot and smoke booster and deodorizer is added on to the removal process.



Step 3

A leather-safe pH 3.8 cleaner is used to remove all suspended residues.



Step 4

A leather-safe pH 3.0 rinse is used to remove all residues to a healthy squeaky clean.



Step 5

A leather-scent non-stick protector helps to retard the stickiness of the tar content and impart an unforgettable classic leather scent.



Note:

This process of cigarette smoke odor removal is applicable to all wet-cleanable interiors.



Give it a try, it works!
