Why can't I get rid of the smoke odor?

Smoke Filled Home from Kitchen Fire

Jacksonville, FL home was destroyed after a fire had broken out in the kitchen. The damage was not nearly as severe as the smoke odor that was left behind. Lingering odor from fires are caused by multiple factors.

  • Heat opens up pores in woods and other materials. As the materials cool the odors are trapped in the pours. Neutralizing the odor with a fog machine or ozone works best.
  • Synthetic materials leave behind an oily soot that is full of odor particles. Cleaning it with the proper PH balance chemical will remove the oil and odor with it.
