    Post-Fire Odor Removal Techniques

    Beyond Air Fresheners

    Removing smoke odor requires altering the chemical composition of the smoke particles trapped in the home's materials.

    • Hydroxyl Generators: These machines use UV light to create hydroxyl radicals, which safely dismantle odor molecules in the air while the home is occupied.
    • Ozone Generators: Highly effective for severe odors, ozone gas oxidizes smoke molecules. However, ozone is toxic to humans and pets, so this treatment is only done in vacant properties under strict professional supervision.
