Cigarette Smoke Odor Removal: Difficult, But Not Impossible

Tobacco smoke is a complex mixture of 7,000 compounds. Like the smoke resulting from a fire, nicotine smoke also produces residue that is extremely hard to remove. The only way to eliminate nicotine odor is to eliminate the chemicals that are stuck to surfaces in the property. The nicotine odor removal process begins with a thorough cleaning, after which all surfaces are sealed with a product specifically designed to seal smoke residues. This ensures that any remaining stains and odors will be locked in.

How does tobacco smoke affect your home?
Smoking not only affects people, but it also produces odorous substances that stick to every surface of the area where smoking has taken place. The yellowish-brown substance eliminated through smoking bonds to walls, furniture, and plastics and can permanent absorbing objects, such as carpets, upholstery, bedding, clothes, and many more. Additionally, the HVAC system of a building carries the smoke odor and chemicals throughout the structure. The affected surfaces will become unpleasant to look at, and the may disturb many people. The result of long-term smoking in enclosed areas is similar to that of a fire. However, tobacco smoke chemicals are much more difficult to eliminate than those of an actual fire. Ultimately, tobacco residue is extremely hard to remove and requires professional equipment and services

Soft and porous items such as drapery, upholstery, and clothes are more difficult to deodorize because they absorb odors rapidly. If they were professionally cleaned and contaminants still inhabit them, they may need to be replaced. To remove any remaining nicotine odors from a home (inside walls and cavities, etc.), professionals use specialized equipment like hydroxyl generators or ozone generators. These tools destroy malodorous particles by attacking the phenol gasses associated with nicotine smoke. Instead of masking the smell, they destroy it at the molecular level.
