Maybe you’re dealing with a family dog that loves to mark its territory, or maybe your new home features a carpet that smells like years of chain smoking. Either way, getting rid of offensive odors is at the top of your priority list for a happy, healthy home. Here’s what you should know about the different types of odor cleanup courtesy of Blue Ridge Property Restore, the experts at professional mold removal.

3 Types of Odor Cleanup Services From a Professional Mold Removal Company

1. Tobacco Smoke

Cigarette smoke is one of the stickiest scents in the home. It can seep into your air filters, carpets, and even your walls. While a range of odor removal options exist, the pros have access to the most effective method. Heating up a room naturally opens the pores of the materials in a space, which makes it easier to detect where the odor is the most concentrated. A contractor will then use special pairing agents to attach to the odor and neutralize the smell. For tough odors like tobacco smoke, this method is very effective.

2. Pet Urine

professional-mold-removal Dogs and cats are true gifts in a home, but pet urine can contribute to lingering odors that are tough to eradicate. If you want to get rid of this odor on your own, your first step should always be to use a UV light to pinpoint unexpected areas where urine has dried. White vinegar is a powerful cleaning agent and deodorizer — keep a small amount in a spray bottle and spray it directly onto any urine spots. Before you spray the vinegar on colored fabric, test a small spot to make sure it won’t stain.

3. Mildew

Before they can get rid of the mildew odor, a professional mold removal service will want to fix the source of the water damage. You may need to consult with a mold remediation company to ensure the issue has been completely and safely resolved. For spot treatments on your own, vinegar is another powerful cleaning agent to get rid of any lingering mildew odors. Mix one cup of vinegar with two cups of water, and spray the solution on particularly smelly areas of your carpet.
