Leave Beans on the Burner and the Burner Will Burn Your Beans: Get Rid of that Burnt Odor!

A common occurrence in the world of cooking is when someone puts something in the oven or on the stove, becomes distracted, and forgets about it. Accidents like this happen frequently, and the unfortunate kitchen gets filled with smoke as a result. Worse yet, smoke odor can often linger in a home if it is not treated quickly. Luckily, at PuroClean of Boerne, we have trained technicians and state-of-the-art equipment to mitigate pungent smoke odor from your home.

Burnt Beans Leaves a Pungent Odor

As with any instance of cooking with heat, there is a risk of fire if caution is not exercised. In a New Braunfels home, a woman and her husband wanted to partake in a nice bean-based meal. So, she put some beans in a pot and left them to simmer on the stove. Somehow, they went to visit their daughter who lives elsewhere with her own family, completely forgetting the beans were still cooking. When they returned home several hours later, the beans had been burnt to a crisp and a horrible odor radiated throughout the home and kitchen.

Thankfully, there was not any real fire damage to the kitchen, but the smell was overpowering and it needed to be dealt with. So, they called us at PuroClean of Boerne to put our skills and expertise to use and solve their smelly situation. They were particularly concerned with the use of chemicals in their home because of specific sensitivities to some solutions. We were more than happy to accommodate their request.

Our team did some research and found botanical substances that are safe for both pets and humans and can act as a powerful deodorizer for smoke. We applied the solution to the stove, the accompanying air vents above, and the walls of the kitchen. We then cleaned out the air vents to remove any remaining smoke particles that might have been trapped. Finally, we thoroughly cleaned all of the surfaces in the kitchen, including the inside of the cabinets. After only 2 days, we completed the job!

The homeowners left us a glowing review, saying “…worked us in within a couple of days to get the job done. Voila!! No more smoke fumes!! [PuroClean] knows what they’re doing and gives exceptional service. They were all super friendly and made sure we understood everything that they were doing. I would recommend PuroClean of Boerne.” They even referred us to their daughter for a water damage job.
