🔥 Why Heat Makes Smells Worse
Heat amplifies odours trapped in:
- Carpets
- Seats
- Air vents
What you barely notice in winter becomes unbearable in summer.
🤢 Common Causes of Bad Smells
- Spilled drinks
- Food residue
- Moisture build-up
- Mould spores
- Pet odours
Dirt and spills cause long-term odours
🚫 Why Air Fresheners Don’t Work
They only:
- Mask smells temporarily
- Mix with odours (making it worse)
They do NOT remove the source.
✅ The Proper Solution
To fully remove odours:
- Deep extraction of fabrics
- Anti-bacterial treatment
- Odour neutralisation
👉 Best service: Deep Clean Full Valet
