Ways to Remove the Smoke Odor

9/10/2021 (Permalink)

Smoke damage restoration will not be complete if the permeating smoke odor is not eliminated. The following are some tips on how to eliminate this irritating odor.

 * Use a disinfectant or cleaner with an orange smell. Wipe down all surfaces from walls, countertops, sinks, cabinets, drawers, windows, and even switch plate covers. Invisible odor can attach to these surfaces.

 * An alternative cleaner is to use deodorizers used in carpets and heavy fabrics.

 * While cleaning surfaces, it would be good to put small bowls of vinegar in various locations to help absorb the smell.

 Apply the water-vinegar mixture on persistent surfaces that give off distinct smoke smells even after wiping with cleaners.

 * In severe cases where the smoke smell is very difficult to eliminate, you may need to bring in an inexpensive ozone generator.
