Smoke from a recent fire leaves particles and odor molecules that settle deep into drywall, carpet padding, upholstery, HVAC ducts and wood framing. Any remaining soot or damaged materials should be addressed first so the fogging step can focus on the embedded odors.
A heated deodorizing solution is released as a fine fog that travels into the same porous materials the odor reached, then binds with and neutralizes odor molecules. The space must be empty of people and pets during treatment and ventilated afterward. Heavy smoke odors in Cleveland, OH may need more than one visit to reach full effect.
