Find Professional Odor Removal Services

Technically speaking odor is cause by organic molecular compounds that are so light that they are easily made or maintained airborne. We could go on to describe them as aliphatic or aromatic, saturated or unsaturated, but we don't want to bore you.

We have just mentioned four different types and characteristics, but far more important is if they are protein-based or otherwise. Protein-based odors, like rotting food, animal waste (and remains) and cooking odors fall into a specific class, requiring special action.

The vast majority of odors come from the metabolism of bacteria on the source material - the microbes consume the waste and pass a gas. At times, it's really that simple. Even if the source material is gone and the bacteria is microscopic, the nose knows!

To removing odors? Definitely!

3. The volatile gasses in the air must be neutralized.
