Odor Removal Processes and Techniques

Odors result from airborne chemicals, gases, or tiny particles. Once their source is removed, our technicians will use the science of deodorization in conjunction with a variety of products and procedures designed to remove odors. Some of these include:

Pairing agents are chemicals that combine with (or pair with) odor particles. Pairing agents will either be a humectant (highly absorptive) material that combines with airborne odor particles and causes them to precipitate onto surfaces where they can be cleaned up; or a counteractant, which combines chemically with an odor particle to change its odor-causing properties or destroy it. Pairing agents may be wiped, sprayed, or fogged.

Absorption and adsorption are different ways to collect odors. Absorption agents are composed of highly absorptive compounds, inert fillers, and perfume. Adsorption agents work by capturing odor gases from the air and holding them on the surface of the agent. These processes are used to filter odor gases from air passing by or through the filtration agent.

    • Our 4-Step Odor Removal Process

    1.svg

    Remove the odor source

    Until it’s removed, debris contaminated with odor-causing residues will continue to give off odors, so when possible, 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, small particles of odor-producing residue will continue to generate odors.

    Re-create the conditions that caused odor penetration

    Distribute a deodorizer to a surface in a manner similar to the way odor-causing substances penetrated the surface. For example, if smoke created the problem, a deodorizing “smoke” or fog will be most effective in following odors to their source.

    Seal surfaces exposed to unpleasant odors

    Severe situations may require sealing and can be used if odor removal would be too expensive or impractical. In these cases, sealing may be a solution to the odor problem.
