Need Odor Removal?

Smoke odor can be a persistent problem in a home, especially after a fire. Removing smoke odor requires a multi-step process, but with persistence and the right techniques, it can be done. Here's how:

  1. Ventilation: Open windows and doors to allow fresh air to circulate and remove the smoke odor. Use fans to increase air flow and speed up the process.
  2. Clean Surfaces: Clean all surfaces, including walls, ceilings, floors, and furniture, to remove any residue from the smoke. Use a solution of water and a deodorizing cleaner, such as white vinegar or baking soda, to wipe down the surfaces.
  3. Laundry: Wash all linens, curtains, and clothing that have come into contact with the smoke to remove the odor. Use a deodorizing detergent and consider adding a fabric softener with a fresh scent.
  4. Carpet Cleaning: If your home has carpet, consider hiring a professional to deep-clean it. This will help to remove the smoke odor and any residue from the smoke.
  5. Air Filters: Change the air filters in your HVAC system to remove any smoke particles that may be circulating in the air.
  6. Deodorize with Baking Soda: Sprinkle baking soda on carpets and furniture, let it sit for several hours, and then vacuum it up. This will help to absorb any lingering smoke odor.
  7. Consider Professional Help: If the smoke odor is particularly strong, consider hiring a professional odor removal service. They will have specialized equipment and techniques to remove the odor effectively.

SERVPRO’s 4-Step Odor Removal Process

Remove the Odor Source

Debris containing odor-causing residues will continue to give off odors. That’s why we deal with the source of the odor first.

Clean Residues From Surfaces

After the source of the odor is removed, it’s important to thoroughly clean surfaces to deodorize them effectively. If not properly cleaned, tiny particles of the odor-causing residues will continue to smell.

Recreate the Conditions That Caused Odor Penetration

We apply deodorizer in a method similar to how the odor-causing substances originally penetrated a surface. If smoke created the smell, for instance, deodorizing smoke or fog might be most effective.

Seal Surfaces Exposed To Unpleasant Odors

Severe situations may require sealing if odor removal would be insufficient.

Commercial Odor Removal Services

Removing persistent smells from your commercial property—office, warehouse, hospital, apartments, and more—can be quite a challenge. Unpleasant smells can drive customers away and make things difficult for employees. Getting rid of the odor, completely and quickly, can avoid interruption of your normal operations. 

Our uniquely trained professionals will work with you to get your company smelling fresh and back to business as quickly as possible, keeping downtime and lost revenue to a minimum.

"Dear SERVPRO of Appleton, I want to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude for the tremendous experience I had with your staff.....Actually I experienced 2 crises in a 4 month period.....My second flood occurred 5 weeks before my son's wedding which was due to take place in my home.  This time the damage was so severe it required extensive renovation of my main floor as well as basement ceiling and floors.....Your staff (headed up by Joyce for the demo/remediation and Deb Solway for the rebuild) are phenomenal.  They both were very respectful of my home, my belongings, my timeline, my questions as well as my fears and worries.  They brought in a large crew and the demo/remediation was resolved in a week.  Joyce checked on the progress daily in person and by phone.  The crew she had here worked diligently to pack and move all our belongings, remove the damaged items, set up dryers and fans and even pulled what seemed like a million staples from the subflooring.  Joyce and Deb also worked expertly with my insurance adjuster and dealt with all my questions and concerns.  They told me exactly what to expect and what my next steps would be.  Then Deb took over for the rebuild.....Deb took care of everything to make sure it was all taken are of from carpentry to electricians to plumbers.  Deb was unflappable whether it was a delay in Home Depot shipping all my flooring or a new commode that was delivered broken.  She made sure our project kept moving forward.  Constant communication was key and Deb was exceptional!  Bottom line the repairs were done in 5 weeks.  They finished the night before the wedding.  All of the guests were so impressed with how wonderful the house looked.  That is due to SERVPRO's staff and their effectiveness.  You gave me back my home not just my house.  Thank you somehow doesn't seem to cover it!"

"Thank you again for your great timeliness, service and patience.  I will recommend SERVPRO to anyone in need.  You have been more than professional & courteous with me."

Dear Mr. Snyder, My sister and I wanted to express our appreciation & gratitude to you and your awesome team at SERVPRO.  We have worked with your company before (long distance) and had confidence everything would be taken care of beyond our expectations.  I should add, my sister from Atlanta and I have been working to sell our mom's condo in Fox Crossing after her passing in late January.  We worked with Joyce Ebajan, who could not have been more helpful and accommodating.  After helping to clear some of the bags in the garage, she called early one morning and said Lura Hall had mentioned a need for some furniture (for a charity)!  How providential is that?!  It is such a stressful, emotional time and to know a good bulk of the furniture went to a worthy cause makes the heart a little lighter!  Joyce sent a truck and two strong young men (Cody & Demond), to do the heavy lifting!  What a gift and a blessing you and your crew have been.  God bless and many, many thanks.  Beverly
