DIY methods, such as baking soda, vinegar, or air purifiers, can help with mild odors. However, persistent or severe odors often require professional expertise to address the source and ensure complete elimination.

10. How can I prevent odors from returning after treatment?

To maintain a fresh-smelling home:

Regularly clean and vacuum carpets, furniture, and fabrics.

Use a dehumidifier to prevent mold growth in damp areas.

12. How do you handle cooking odors that linger in the house?

Lingering cooking odors are tackled with a combination of deep cleaning and deodorizing treatments. Grease, oil, and smoke particles are removed from surfaces, while air purification methods neutralize airborne odors.

13.Does ozone permanently remove odors?

Yes, ozone treatment permanently eliminates odors when applied correctly. Ozone (O₃) breaks down odor-causing molecules, bacteria, and mold at the source. However, if the original odor source (e.g., smoke residue, pet urine, mold) is not cleaned or removed, the smell may return over time. For best results, ozone should be used in combination with deep cleaning.

14.Can an ozone machine get rid of an old house smell?

Yes, an ozone machine can effectively remove old house odors, including musty smells, mildew, smoke, and pet odors. Ozone penetrates deep into carpets, walls, and ventilation systems, neutralizing odors at the molecular level. However, if mold or moisture issues are present, addressing those problems is necessary for long-term odor removal.

15. How long to air out a room after ozone treatment?

After an ozone treatment, it’s best to air out the space for at least 30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on the room size and ventilation. Ozone naturally reverts to oxygen, but for safety, We recommends waiting until the ozone scent fully dissipates before re-entering.
