Introduction


A musty or sour odour in your vehicle signals bacteria, mould, and mildew thriving in upholstery, carpets, and A/C vents. These microbes feed on crumbs, sweat and moisture, releasing smelly volatile compounds. Left untreated, they aggravate allergies, reduce cabin air quality and degrade fabrics.


Why Cars Harbour Microbes


  • Spills from coffee, soft drinks or food debris seep deep into fibres.

  • Humid Melbourne weather and air-con condensation create damp breeding grounds.

  • Hidden crevices in seats, floor mats and ductwork remain out of reach for routine cleaning.


Common offenders include Staphylococcus, Pseudomonas and various mould species—all notorious for pungent odours and potential health risks.


Elite Auto Care’s Two-Step Solution


1. Antibacterial Cleaning


  • Inspection & Spot-treatment: Technicians map odour hotspots in carpets, door panels and A/C grills.

  • EPA-approved Cleaners: Safe, high-strength formulas dissolve biofilms and kill surface bacteria.

  • Steam Extraction: Steam penetrates deep, flushing out trapped grime and neutralizing microbes.


2. Ozone Machine Treatment


  1. The Oz machine generates medical-grade ozone (O₃), a powerful oxidizer.

  2. Ozone gas circulates through the cabin and HVAC, reaching hidden nooks.

  3. O₃ ruptures microbial cell walls and breaks down odorous compounds.

  4. After a 30–45-minute cycle, ozone reverts to oxygen—leaving no residue.


This dual approach removes odour sources rather than masking them, delivering long-lasting freshness and improved air quality.


Benefits at a Glance


  • Long-lasting odour elimination by destroying microbes at the source.

  • Allergy relief and safer air for passengers.

  • Preservation of interior fabrics and reduced mould stains.

  • Eco-friendly, residue-free process with non-toxic cleaners.


Simple Freshness Tips


  • Vacuum weekly, focusing on crevices and under seats.

  • Use desiccant packs or car dehumidifiers on humid days.

  • Swap cabin air filters every 12,000–15,000 km.

  • Wipe spills immediately with antibacterial wipes.

  • Crack windows slightly when parked to boost airflow.
