Understanding Odor Removal

What Causes Bad Smells In Your Home or Business?

That bad smell in your home or business can come from various sources. Fire and smoke damage, water damage, mold, sewage, and biological sources like pet waste or even body decomposition create unpleasant smells. 

Common Odor Sources

Understanding where bad smells come from is the first step in effectively eliminating them. Common odor sources can be divided into three categories: biological, chemical, environmental, and lifestyle.

Biological

• Pets: Pet odors, including dander, urine, and excrement, can permeate a home, especially when pets have accidents or roll in smelly things and then come inside.
• Feces and Urine: Human or animal dung and urine odors commonly occur in bathrooms, care facilities, or homes with pets.
• Mold and Mildew: Mold and mildew release spores and musty odor compounds as they grow on damp surfaces.
• Blood: The metallic odor of blood can permeate homes, medical facilities, or accident scenes. It may indicate trauma or injury and necessitates careful cleaning.
• Other Animals: Dead and decaying animals, droppings, and urine can cause significant foul odors. These are commonly found in attics, basements, or crawl spaces where animals may have become trapped and died, requiring proper removal and sanitation.

Chemical and Environmental

• Sewage: The pungent smell of sewage indicates plumbing issues and gases like methane and hydrogen sulfide. This odor comes from malfunctioning septic systems or blocked drains.
• Drug Labs: Strong chemical fumes like acetone, ammonia, or ether suggest the presence of an illicit drug manufacturing operation. Unusual activity patterns often accompany these smells and may be detectable from outside a building.
• Smoke and Soot: After a fire, items such as furniture, electronics, and fabrics absorb smoke, trapping both odors and harmful chemicals.

Lifestyle

• Food: Strong food odors, especially from cooking, can hang around and cause discomfort. Persistent food smells can sometimes indicate poor ventilation or hidden mold.
• Cigar and Cigarette Smoke: Cigar and cigarette smoke leave a residue that sticks to almost every surface in a room—walls, carpets, furniture—and even leaves stains. Smokers don’t notice the unpleasant odors—but your house guests and landlord will!
• Vape Smell: While less intense than cigarette smoke smell, vape odors can still irritate the respiratory system and contribute to indoor air pollution.
• Smoke from Marijuana and Other Drugs: Marijuana smoke produces a distinctive odor that can linger in indoor spaces. As well other drugs can leave a tell-tale stench where they are used or even stored.
• Hoarding: Hoarding can lead to a buildup of dust, mold, and decaying organic matter, causing pervasive odors. These odors are commonly found in cluttered and neglected living spaces and affect indoor air quality.

How Odor Molecules Work

Odors come from airborne chemicals, gases, or tiny particles. For example, pet urine contains ammonia and other pungent chemicals that vaporize. These odor molecules float around and enter our noses. Our olfactory receptors detect these molecules and send signals to our brains that we interpret as smells. 

Understanding how odor molecules work is key to effective odor removal, which is best achieved through professional services that target these molecules at their source.

The Importance of Professional Odor Removal Services

Why DIY Methods Often Fail

• Many people try to deal with odor removal themselves. Some things, like opening windows and doors, can be helpful, but other DIY methods, like burning a candle, using air fresheners or a spray deodorizer, just mask odors with heavy fragrances.
  
• Regular cleaning may not be enough to remove strong odors because they can deeply penetrate surfaces and materials, making them resistant to standard cleaning methods. This is particularly true for mold, which usually grows in damp, dark spaces, releasing spores and contributing to odors.

Benefits of Professional Odor Removal VS DIY

Remove orders – don’t just cover them up! PuroClean’s experts have the tools and expertise to eliminate odors thoroughly and quickly. Unlike DIY methods that only mask smells, we end odors at the source. We remove them at the molecular level for lasting results.

At PuroClean, our uniformed, industry-certified technicians do what it takes to rescue and restore your property. Using a unique process, our technicians eliminate bad odors, causing as little disruption to your life as possible. While remaining conscious of costs, our team works to track odors, stop odor-causing bacteria, and return your property to a fresh, safe and healthy environment.

How Our Odor Removal Process Works

• We identify and remove the source of the odor (following state, federal, EPA, and OSHA regulations for disposal). This can include eliminating blood or urine from soft goods like sofas, bedding, and carpeting. However, it’s important to know that porous materials often need to be thrown out. This process is highly effective against persistent smells.
• Clean affected areas. Next, we do a thorough cleaning and use odor removal products in order to remove smoke and blood from hard surfaces like walls, shelving, tiles, windows, and doors.
• Clean the air. We clean and filter the air using hydroxyl or ozone generators (Ozone is only used in vacant premises). These treatments help break down odor molecules. We also use scrubbers, which clean the air.
• Seal affected areas. Finally, if needed, our technicians seal the affected areas to make sure any remaining offensive particles are trapped for good. During this process, called encapsulation, we use a sealant that primes, blocks stains, and covers damaged surfaces, like the alligator crackling on fire-damaged surfaces. This process also seals in deeply embedded animal and cooking odors.
