The invisible truth: It doesn't smell, it's a biofilm!

Have you ever wondered why the smell of smoke, sweat, or dog is so persistent? The answer isn't a mystery; it's science. It's not just odor molecules floating in the air. It's the invisible, slimy biofilm that, over the years, becomes embedded deep in the fibers of your car. Think of a bacteria party going on around the clock in your seats, carpets, and headliner. This biofilm of organic residue is the real source of odor, and it's only temporarily impressed by conventional cleaning products. We need to break this party up. But how?

The solution is as simple as it is ingenious: We deploy an army of "good" bacteria to defeat the "bad" ones. We do this using probiotic cleaning. Instead of masking them with chemicals, we let millions of beneficial microorganisms get to the root of the odor. They break down the biofilm and the odor molecules trapped within it. Sounds like science fiction? But it's not! It's the professional method used by car detailers to make a car smell like it just rolled off the assembly line.

The 3-phase upgrade: How to make your car ready for resale

We'll break the process down into three simple steps so you know exactly what to do. Follow the steps precisely to achieve maximum results and ensure that your €5 investment (per application) potentially increases the value of your car by €1,000.

Phase 1: The rough stuff has to go! The basic cleaning

Before we deploy our probiotic secret weapon, you need to clean the upholstery and interior of any visible dirt. This step is essential so the probiotic cultures can get directly to the source of the odor.

• Vacuum, vacuum, vacuum! Take your time to vacuum every crevice. Under the seats, between the upholstery seams, in the floor mats—these are the main places for food scraps, hair, and dust.
• Stain treatment: Do you have obvious stains? Now is the time to treat them. Use a conventional upholstery cleaner and gently work into the fibers with a brush. But remember: These cleaners only remove the stains—not the biofilm.
• Allow to dry: Allow the upholstery to dry completely after treating the stain. Damp fibers are fine, but you should avoid dripping wet spots.

Phase 2: The 5-euro trick in action! The probiotic deep clean

Now the magic comes into play! We use Stimio Auto Pro-Clean to break down the invisible biofilm. Remember, this product is not a room spray! For best results, it must be applied directly to the surfaces.

• Preparation: Shake the bottle well to activate the probiotic cultures. Hold the bottle upright for the best spray pattern.
• Spray, spray, spray: Spray all textile surfaces evenly and with a slightly damp cloth. Seats, carpets, floor mats, the trunk, and even the headliner. Imagine applying a fine, invisible layer to every fiber.
• The secret weapon: Spray even hard-to-reach places like vents and cracks. This is where the bacteria responsible for the musty smell reside.
• The most important step: Don't wipe it down! Yes, you read that right. Simply let the product air dry. The probiotic cultures need this time and moisture to penetrate the fibers and completely decompose the biofilm. While your car dries, these little helpers work for you.

Phase 3: The wow effect and the final result

Once the product is completely dry, you'll immediately smell the difference. Not a masking scent, but the absence of any odor. The interior smells neutral, clean, and fresh. This is a sign that the biofilm has been defeated.

This simple yet incredibly effective process costs you no more than a few euros, but increases the perceived value of your car many times over when you sell it. A potential buyer will open the door and immediately notice: "This car is well-maintained!" This psychological advantage gives you the upper hand in price negotiations. With the Stimio Auto Pro-Clean, you're not investing in a cleaning product, but in the resale value of your vehicle.

So, are you ready to show the dealers that you know their "secret"?
