Vehicle cabin air treatment
Car Cabin Bacteria & Odour Removal
Professional ozone treatment circulates through the cabin and ventilation system to help neutralise persistent odours, bacteria, mould and airborne contaminants.
The unattended workshop process is followed by thorough ventilation before the vehicle is returned.
What ozone treatment does
Persistent cabin smells can live throughout the ventilation system.
Moisture naturally forms around the evaporator when the A/C operates. Over time, damp areas may support bacteria, mould and fungi that contribute to musty odours. Smoke, pets, food and spills can also penetrate interior materials.
Ozone is a powerful oxidising treatment used commercially to neutralise odour-causing compounds and microorganisms. It is applied with the vehicle unoccupied and controlled by trained technicians.
Why inspection comes first →Treatment coverage
What cabin purification is designed to address
The service treats the cabin and HVAC airflow pathway, but physical contamination and unresolved moisture sources may also need cleaning or repair.
01 A/C and mould-related odours
Moisture at the evaporator can contribute to musty ventilation smells.

A/C and mould-related odours
Moisture at the evaporator can contribute to musty ventilation smells.
- Musty smell when the fan starts
- Mould and bacteria in damp HVAC areas
- Odour circulating through vents
- Stale cabin air after the vehicle sits
02 Interior odours
Ozone circulates beyond the vents and through the occupied cabin space.

Interior odours
Ozone circulates beyond the vents and through the occupied cabin space.
- Smoke odour
- Pet smells
- Food and spill odours
- General persistent interior odour
03 Workshop treatment process
The vehicle remains unoccupied throughout the active treatment.
5 points
Workshop treatment process
The vehicle remains unoccupied throughout the active treatment.
- Inspect cabin and discuss the odour source
- Place professional ozone equipment
- Circulate treatment through the HVAC system
- Complete the controlled treatment time
- Ventilate thoroughly before handover
04 Supporting maintenance
Physical sources and airflow restrictions should also be addressed.
4 points
Supporting maintenance
Physical sources and airflow restrictions should also be addressed.
- Inspect the cabin air filter
- Remove visible waste or spill residue
- Check evaporator drainage concerns
- Investigate odour that returns quickly
Important: Ozone treatment is performed with no occupants in the vehicle. The cabin is aired thoroughly before it is returned.
Cabin and ventilation treatment
Fresh air requires more than masking the smell.
Fragrances cover odour temporarily. Purification is designed to neutralise the source compounds circulating through the cabin and A/C system.
Treatment circulates through vents and the evaporator area.
Useful for persistent musty, smoke, pet and food odours.
A dirty cabin filter or active water leak should also be corrected so the odour does not return.

Common questions
Cabin purification FAQs
Clear answers before you book your vehicle with our specialist workshop.
View all FAQs →What is a car cabin ozone treatment?
It uses an ozone generator to circulate treatment through the vehicle interior and ventilation system to neutralise odours and microorganisms.
What problems can it help address?
Musty A/C smells, smoke, pet and food odours, mould and bacteria are common reasons for treatment.
Is ozone treatment safe for my car?
When carried out using professional equipment and controlled procedures, the vehicle is treated unoccupied and aired thoroughly before use.
How long does treatment take?
Many treatment cycles take roughly 20 to 40 minutes, with additional preparation and ventilation time depending on the vehicle and contamination.
