Odours can come from various sources. The longer the odour goes untreated, the stronger the smell will become, making it hard to mask or remove. This is why it is important to pinpoint the source of the odour and remove it.

One of the most common odours found in residential and commercial spaces is cigarette smoke. Stale cigarette smells linger on clothing, furniture, curtains and carpets. If you are looking to get rid of toxic cigarette odours, then we can help!

At 0.1 – 0.5 microns, cigarette smoke particles are tiny. This means that they can easily penetrate porous materials, such as soft fabrics and furnishings. While some items (such as clothing) can simply be put through the washing machine, it can be difficult to remove the odour from large items or permanent fixtures.

Tobacco toxins can contain carcinogens and heavy metals such as arsenic, lead, and cyanide. Nicotine can stick to walls and ceilings, absorb into carpets and upholstery.

Another common yet overlooked odour is cooking odour. Source can be found in your kitchen stove vent. While cooking, the aroma from food rises, causing odour to become trapped in the vent. If not properly cleaned on regular bases, it can cause all sorts of unwanted odours. Food odour attracts animals and rodents which can lead to an infestation problem not just in your kitchen but throughout your whole house.

Our odour neutralisation technology and certified technicians will not only eradicate the odour, but can also undertake air scrubbing to remove hazardous particles, gases
and chemicals from the air, leaving you with a fresh yet safe environment.

Did you know?

That our sense of smell is detected by the Olfaction Lobe? This is the indicator on the front lower part of our brain that reacts to smells that we like and do not like. Our sense of smell is unique to our own brain, people will react differently. While the smell may be pungent to some, others may feel sick from the smell as they are more sensitive to it.

For odours to be detectable they must be water soluble? This means that the odour must be able to dissolve in water. It is also important to remember that the Relative Humidity (RH) plays a big role in the detection of odours. The lower the humidity (cooler air) the less you will detect the odour. The higher (warmer) the Relative Humidity is, the more you will detect the odour.
