Mobile Car Odour & Vomit Removal Melbourne
That smell isn’t leaving your car. Every time you open the door, it hits you again; sour milk, vomit, smoke, or something you can’t even identify. You’ve tried air fresheners. You’ve wiped the surfaces. Nothing works because the source is still there, trapped in the fabric and foam.
Don’t worry, Ted Car Detailing provides professional mobile car odour removal service across Melbourne. We come to your home or workplace, find the source, and treat it properly. No masking. No shortcuts. Just car odour removal that drivers trust for vomit, smoke, milk, pet accidents, and stubborn cabin smells.

Why Melbourne Drivers Choose Us
Professional Car Odour Removal Service
We treat vehicle odours at the source, not just the surface. Whether the smell comes from a one-off accident or has been building for weeks, we assess the affected materials and choose the right treatment for the situation.
Our mobile car odour removal service covers all Melbourne suburbs and surrounding areas. We arrive with professional equipment, treat the affected areas, and explain what you can expect before we begin.
This is not a standard interior detail. Odour removal requires identifying the source, removing physical contamination, and applying specialist treatment. If your vehicle has several serious interior and exterior problems, such as heavy contamination, multiple affected areas, or long-standing damage, we may recommend our interior restoration or full car detailing service.
Common Car Odours We Treat
We assess and treat odours caused by:
- Vomit: Including stomach acid residue that soaks into fabric and foam
- Spilt Milk: One of the worst culprits because it curdles and spreads
- Urine: From children, pets, or accidents
- Pet Accidents: Fur, dander, and waste residue
- Cigarette Smoke: Nicotine residue settles into fabric, roof lining, and vents
- Food & Drink Spills: Especially sugary drinks and dairy
- Damp or Musty interiors: Often linked to moisture trapped under carpets
- Unknown Persistent Smells: We investigate until we find the source
- Other Interior Contamination: If it’s causing a smell, we can assess it
Visible mould? That requires a different approach. Please book our dedicated Car Mould Removal Service page.
You must disclose high-risk contamination, blood, faeces, needles, dead animals, pest infestations, and other biological waste before booking. We assess and quote these jobs separately.
Why Bad Smells Remain Inside a Car
A bad smell isn’t just on the surface. Liquids soak downward. Vomit, milk, and urine can pass through fabric, through the seat cover, and into the foam padding underneath. From there, it spreads into the carpet underlay and sometimes into areas you can’t see or reach.
Wiping the surface does nothing for what’s underneath. Air freshener masks it temporarily. But as long as moisture and bacteria remain trapped in seat foam, carpet underlay, or ventilation components, the smell will return, especially on warm days.
That’s why professional odour removal focuses on finding and treating the source, not just the visible area.
Pet accidents also leave more than odour. For embedded pet hair, visit our Pet Hair Removal Melbourne service.
Our Car Odour Removal Process
Our car odour removal depends on the source, the affected material, and the severity of the contamination. Here is how we work:
02
Remove Visible Residue
We carefully remove any visible vomit, residue or affected material.
03
Apply Enzyme Treatment
Enzymes help break down organic matter responsible for lingering odours.
04
Steam Clean Surfaces
High-temperature steam lifts residue and cleans affected fabrics.
05
Extract Carpets & Upholstery
Deep extraction removes moisture, dirt and contaminated particles from fabrics.
06
Sanitise Affected Areas
We sanitise treated surfaces to help reduce bacteria and remaining contamination.
07
Neutralise Lingering Odours
Odour-neutralising products target odour molecules rather than simply masking them.
08
Apply Ozone Treatment
When appropriate, ozone treatment helps address lingering smells in the cabin and ventilation system.
09
Dry Treated Areas
We thoroughly dry treated areas to prevent excess moisture from creating further problems.
10
Complete Final Inspection
We assess the result and explain what to expect after the treatment.
Important
Ozone supports the treatment, but it does not replace physically cleaning and extracting the original contamination. Ozone alone won't fix a vomit-soaked seat. The source must be removed first.
Car Vomit Cleaning and Smell Removal
Vomit is one of the most common and most difficult odours we treat. It’s acidic, it soaks in quickly, and the smell can linger for months if it’s not treated properly.
Our car vomit cleaning service includes:
- Safe removal of visible vomit residue
- Enzyme treatment to break down organic matter
- Steam cleaning and shampoo extraction
- Sanitisation of affected areas
- Odour-neutralising treatment
- Ozone treatment where required
- Drying and final inspection
If vomit has soaked into seat foam or carpet underlay, additional treatment, labour, or material access may be required. Seat removal, carpet removal, and replacement of damaged upholstery are not automatically included. These conditions may need inspection and a separate quotation.
We do not automatically decline a job because contamination has gone deeper. We assess it, explain what’s involved, and confirm the revised price with you before completing any additional paid work.

Car vomit and odour removal starts from $350. The final price depends on the extent, type and severity of contamination inside the vehicle.
Pricing is based on
The Actual Condition of Your Vehicle
Every contamination job is different. Photos can help us provide an initial estimate before inspection.
WHAT AFFECTS THE PRICE?
Factors We Consider
The final cost depends on the amount of work, treatment and extraction required to properly deal with the contamination.
01
Type of Contamination
Vomit, milk, urine, smoke and pet accidents can require different treatment methods and levels of cleaning.
02
Affected Areas
The cost depends on whether the contamination is limited to one seat or has spread across multiple seats, carpets and other interior areas.
03
Severity of Contamination
A small surface spill usually requires less work than heavy contamination that has soaked into fabrics or surrounding areas.
04
Age of the Spill
Fresh contamination is generally easier to treat, while older spills may require more extensive cleaning and odour treatment.
05
Depth of Penetration
If contamination has entered seat foam, carpet underlay or other hidden areas, additional labour and treatment may be required.
06
Vehicle Size
Larger vehicles or interiors with extensive affected areas may require more cleaning time and equipment.
07
Interior Condition
Heavily soiled interiors may require more cleaning than vehicles where contamination is limited to a small area.
08
Drying Requirements
Some vehicles require extended drying after deep cleaning and extraction, particularly when moisture has reached deeper interior materials.

What Happens If the Scope Changes?
Photos can help us provide an initial estimate, but hidden contamination may only become clear during an inspection. If the condition is more severe than shown in your photos, we follow a clear approval process.

Frequently Asked Questions
Car vomit and odour removal starts from $350. The final price depends on the affected areas, severity, how long the contamination has been present, and whether it has entered seat foam or carpet underlay.
We successfully remove or significantly improve vehicle odours in most cases. However, we can't guarantee complete odour removal when contamination has penetrated deeply into seat foam, carpet underlay, ventilation components, or other inaccessible materials.
Dealers may offer basic cleaning, but specialist interior restoration is different from a standard maintenance detail. Vomit requires source removal, enzyme treatment, extraction, and odour neutralisation. That's what we do.
We provide mobile vomit car cleaning across Melbourne. Send us your suburb, vehicle type, and photos of the affected area. We'll confirm coverage and provide an assessment.
We can assess and treat cigarette smoke odour. Nicotine residue may affect fabrics, roof lining, hard surfaces, and ventilation components. Results depend on how long the smoke has been present and how deeply it has penetrated.
No. Ozone may support treatment after you clean the physical source and remove residue. It does not replace physical removal of the contamination. Ozone is included in most odour-removal jobs when appropriate, but it works alongside cleaning, not instead of it.
Deeper contamination may require additional treatment, longer drying, extra labour, or a separate quote. We inspect, explain the additional work, confirm the revised price, and get your approval before proceeding.
As soon as possible. Liquids spread deeper over time, and odours become harder to treat the longer they're left. Prompt attention gives the best chance of a successful outcome.
Yes, we can provide tax invoices and cleaning receipts for Uber, rideshare, rental, or insurance-related jobs.
No. We cannot guarantee complete car odour removal when contamination has reached inaccessible materials. If hidden contamination or moisture remains, the smell may recur. We explain this honestly before starting work.
