Odor Removal

Equipment

What we bring to the job

Professional-grade tools matter — they decide whether your space gets surface-cleaned or actually restored. Here's the gear we use on every odor removal job.

Odorox Hydroxyl Generator

Hydroxyl radicals are what sunlight uses to clean outdoor air. Safe to run in occupied spaces — kills odors at the molecular level over 24–72 hours without damaging electronics or fabrics.

Commercial Ozone Generator

For heavy jobs (fire, hoarding, vehicle) where the space can be vacated. Ozone oxidizes every porous surface simultaneously — nothing gets missed, including inside cushions and wall cavities.

Thermal Fogger

Heat-based fogger penetrates the same places smoke did — crawls into upholstery, insulation, and cabinetry the way the original smoke did, neutralizing as it goes.

HEPA Air Scrubber

Runs during and after treatment to remove particulate and neutralized odor compounds from the air. Clean air leaves the space, not just clean surfaces.

Enzyme Pet-Odor Treatments

For urine and protein-based odors. Live enzymes break down the uric acid crystals that scent alone cannot touch — applied under carpet or directly to subfloor.

Sealant Primers (for fire jobs)

Odor-blocking primers for walls and wood where smoke is permanently embedded. Only used when source removal is impossible — we try every other option first.

Process

How we do it

Same six-step process every time, so you know exactly what to expect.

1
Assess source + severity
We identify WHERE the odor lives (fabric, subfloor, wall cavity, HVAC, etc.) — treatment choice depends on where the molecules are hiding.
2
Remove what we can
Source removal always wins over source neutralization. Damaged carpet, saturated insulation, nicotine-stained popcorn ceilings — gone first, treat after.
3
HEPA + clean surfaces
Every hard surface wiped with appropriate chemistry; soft surfaces HEPA-vacuumed to capture particulate carrying the odor.
4
Deploy technology
Hydroxyl (occupied) or ozone (vacated) generators placed and timed for the severity of the job. Thermal fog for smoke penetration.
5
Post-treatment airing
HEPA scrubbers run at the end to flush neutralized compounds. Space aired out, electronics re-powered.
6
Confirm with you
You walk through before we leave. If any odor is still detectable, we extend treatment — we don't close a job until you can't smell it.

FAQ

Questions we get

Is ozone safe?

Ozone is not safe to breathe at treatment concentrations. That is why we only run ozone in vacated spaces with post-treatment airing. Hydroxyl generators are safe in occupied spaces.

Will my electronics be damaged?

Hydroxyl: no. Ozone: at prolonged high doses can degrade rubber seals and some plastics — we dose for the job, not excess, and cover sensitive electronics.

How long before the smell is gone?

Pet and mildew: often 1 treatment, 24–48 hours. Smoke or fire: 2–5 days with multiple cycles. Very severe jobs sometimes need sealing + replacement of absorbent materials.

Can you save a smoke-damaged sofa?

Sometimes. Leather and tight-weave fabric usually yes. Open-weave upholstery with deep smoke penetration often better replaced — we tell you honestly before starting.
