How we remove an odour

Dry fog reaches where a cloth cannot.

  1. 01

    Finding the source

    We establish where the smell comes from and prepare the cabin.

  2. 02

    Dry fog

    The generator spreads the agent through the whole cabin and the ventilation system.

  3. 03

    Airing

    We air the car, and the smell is permanently neutralised.

What the service involves

The dry fog mixes with the air and brings the disinfectant directly onto bacteria, viruses and the sources of the smell. The micro-droplets reach the ventilation ducts and the upholstery, where ordinary methods do not get.

The mobile device is an answer to viruses suspended in the air as micro-droplets released from the human airways. The disinfectant in fog form strikes the viruses and bacteria directly, and the very small fog particles let it stay suspended in the air for a long time.

The method is safe for electronics and delicate items - the fog particles do not wet the surface. Because of that, the moisture in the air is no threat to electronic devices, paperwork or other delicate items, and the disinfection can be carried out without protecting them from getting wet. We remove, among others, the smell of cigarette smoke, animals, petrol, vomit, food and damp.

The service takes no longer than an hour. The inside of the car is filled with fog with the doors closed - that takes 40-50 minutes - after which the car is aired for 10-15 minutes.

We also remove odours in flats, shops, offices, restaurants and sports halls - the price is PLN 10 net per square metre. Lorries are charged the same way: PLN 10 net per 1 m2.

The fog reaches everywhere

The dry fog mixes with the air in the space and brings the disinfectant directly onto the source of the smell.

Safe for electronics

The advantage of dry fog is that it is safe for anything sensitive to water - the particles are fine enough not to wet the surface.

Not only cars

Dry fog systems are used wherever a space has to be disinfected and airborne viruses destroyed. Traditional disinfection relies on spraying disinfectants onto the surfaces people touch. The advantage of dry fog over traditional methods is that it can be dispersed without worrying about the electrical equipment around us that is running at the time.

About this serviceSpecifically about what this page describes. 7 questions
How do you remove smells from a car?

By the dry fog method - the agent reaches the whole cabin and the ventilation system, neutralising the source of the smell rather than merely masking it.

Which smells can be removed?

Cigarette smoke, animal smells, damp, burning or petrol.

How long does the treatment take?

Usually about an hour, including airing the cabin.

Will the smell come back?

If we remove the source (damp, for instance), the result is permanent. A source that persists may call for additional cleaning.

How exactly does the treatment in a car work?

The inside of the car is filled with fog with the doors closed - that takes 40-50 minutes - after which the car is aired for 10-15 minutes. The whole process takes no longer than an hour.

Do you remove smells in buildings too?

Yes - in flats, shops, offices, restaurants and sports halls. The price is PLN 10 net per square metre. Lorries are charged the same way: PLN 10 net per 1 m2.

Is dry fog safe for electronics?

Yes - the fog particles do not wet objects, so electronic devices, paperwork and other delicate items need no protection from getting wet.

Price and appointmentWhat it costs, how we calculate it and when there is a slot. 5 questions
How much does a repair cost and what does the price depend on?

A PDR repair starts from PLN 100 net. The final amount depends on the size and depth of the damage, its place on the body and how much work it takes to reach the panel from behind. Two dents that look alike can differ twofold in price precisely because of access.

Are the inspection and the quote paid for?

No. Looking the car over under the lamp, counting the dents and giving a price are free and commit you to nothing. The quote you get is binding - we do not change it during the work.

Will you give a price over the phone?

We can give a range, but a reliable quote means seeing the damage. The quickest way is to send two photos: the whole panel and a close-up at an angle, in side light. On that basis we can usually say whether a paintless repair is possible.

How soon will I get an appointment?

For small repairs usually within a few days, often the same week. After a bigger hailstorm in Warsaw the queue can be longer - then it is worth calling straight away rather than putting the decision off.

Can I pay by card and get an invoice?

Yes. We accept card, cash and bank transfer, and we issue the invoice to a company or to a private person - just say so when you hand the car over.

The visit to the workshopHow the car is taken in and how long it takes. 5 questions
Where are you and do I need an appointment?

We work in Warsaw. Booking is advisable - that way the bay and the lighting are free for your slot and the repair starts as soon as you arrive. For the inspection alone you can drop in after calling ahead.

How long does a repair take and can I wait on site?

Most small repairs take from 30 minutes to 3 hours and you can wait for them. The car is left for longer only for a larger job, for example after hail or when the headliner has to come out.

Does the car need preparing before the visit?

It is enough for the damaged spot to be clean - a layer of dust makes assessment under the lamp harder. Nothing needs dismantling and no extra documents are needed.

What happens if it turns out on the spot that the repair is impossible?

We say so straight away, before starting work, and charge nothing. We usually then suggest what scope of work would be needed and what it really costs.

Do you come out to the customer?

For simple repairs it is possible. Harder finishing work comes out better in the workshop, because there we have constant, controlled light - and that is what decides whether the repair will be invisible.

Guarantee and paperworkHow lasting the repair is, invoices and settling a claim. 5 questions
What guarantee do you give on a repair?

A properly worked panel does not go back to its dented shape - the metal is brought back to the state it was in before the damage, not masked. We show the result at handover under the lamp and in daylight; if anything raises doubts, we correct it as part of the repair.

Will the repair be visible when I sell the car?

No. With the PDR method the paint is neither sanded nor reapplied, so a paint thickness gauge shows the factory value. Nor is any entry created in the repair history.

Do you settle the repair with the insurer?

Yes. We prepare damage documentation and an invoice in the form the insurer accepts. For hail claims, the dent map from the workshop is the basis of the assessor's valuation.

Will I get before and after photos?

Yes, on request. We take the photos from the same position and in the same light, so what you see is the real difference, not an effect of the framing.

Do you work with companies and fleets?

Yes. We serve car dealers, rental firms and fleets - with an invoice, agreed rates and the option of taking in several cars on one date.
