At the beginning of a tobacco smoke cleanup project, there is no magic bullet to whisk away residues and smells. Though it would be nice to be able to plug in a “magic” machine or spray some “miracle” liquid to eliminate tobacco smoke problems, such products do not exist. The only effective way to remove tobacco residue and smell is through very thorough cleaning and sealing of all structural surfaces.
Residues and odors may seem to be concentrated in single area; once cleaning starts it is often found that all areas are contaminated, and cleaning all surfaces is necessary to remove contaminants and odors. The tiny particles of tobacco smoke find their way into all areas.
The cleaning process should include deodorizing agents to help with that process. Even after thorough cleaning, it is usually necessary to seal surfaces with a sealant designed to lock in the last of the stains and odors. It is important to recognize that a normal “primer” is not sufficient, a product designed to seal smoke residues is required. Finally, the surfaces will be ready to paint, refinish, or to apply new coverings.
These before and after photos above tell the story . This was the result of 15 years of smoking damage. The difference in smell tells the rest of the story.
Commercial Grade Ozone Generator Machines will oxidize unwanted odors in your facility. Ozone generators create O3, or ozone, which disburses into the space to be treated. O3 attacks odor causing substances at their source to permanently remove odors in the treatment.
When you rent these machines from us we bring it to your place set it up and take it down. The space must not be occupied when the machine is in use.
