      "text": "Vehicles used as mobile drug labs present unique odor removal challenges in the San Fernando Valley. Restoration companies begin with a safety assessment, looking for chemical containers, residues, or sharps that must be removed before cleaning. Interior components such as carpets, seat fabrics, headliners, and sometimes insulation or panels may be heavily contaminated and require removal rather than surface treatment. Technicians perform thorough wet cleaning of hard surfaces—plastic, metal, and glass—with appropriate detergents and neutralizing solutions designed for chemical residues. Vehicle HVAC systems, including cabin air filters, ducts, and blower components, are inspected and cleaned or replaced because they can harbor odors and fine particles. Due to the confined space, deodorization focuses on controlled application: targeted fogging or vapor treatments may be used, but only after contamination has been largely removed and with proper ventilation afterward. Extended airing and use of portable filtration in enclosed storage areas can further reduce residual smells. Owners should expect a detailed explanation of what was removed, what was cleaned, and what level of odor and contamination reduction is realistic given the vehicle’s condition.",

Space is confined, so technicians rely on targeted removal and cleaning rather than heavy fogging in closed, occupied vehicles.",
