Our Professionals Removing Smoke Odors
Eliminating the last traces of stubborn odors can be a challenging task. While baking soda is a temporary solution, there may need to be more. It’s best to seek professional assistance to get the job done effectively. Here are some tried-and-tested methods for doing away with even the most persistent smells:
- Air Scrubbing: Our technician will use HEPA air scrubbers that can remove 99.97% of particulates from the air to improve air quality by eliminating the source materials for odors.
- Thermal Fogging: To neutralize odors in a space, we use a petroleum-based deodorizer from a thermal fogging unit. Technicians will put out any flames before fogging. The process involves filling the affected space with a mist-like deodorizer, which uses fragrance modification for permanent odor neutralization.
- Vapor Modification: This method uses a non-toxic, non-oily, non-flammable, and non-explosive mineral oil that is vaporized from a sealed plastic container, dispersed into the air by a fan or blower, and penetrates affected porous contents like upholstery and drapery for smoke smell removal.
- Ozone Generator: It releases additional oxygen to oxidize the odorous molecules. Trained technicians should only turn it on or off briefly. Ozone works best in a controlled environment like an ozone chamber. Odorous contents can be treated with ozone gas for 24 to 48 hours.
