### What Is Odor Removal?

Odors are unpleasant smells that originate from various sources, such as bacteria, mold, smoke, or spills. Odor removal services are specialized treatments designed to eliminate these unpleasant odors and restore indoor air quality.

### Odor Removal Methods

There are several effective odor removal methods used by professionals:

– **Ozone Treatment:** Ozone is a powerful oxidizing agent that breaks down odor-causing particles.
– **Encapsulation:** Odor encapsulators coat odor molecules, preventing them from re-emitting.
– **Thermal Fogging:** Hot fogging machines release a fog that contains odor-neutralizing agents.
– **Hydroxyl Generator:** Hydroxyl generators produce hydroxyl radicals, which break down odor molecules.
– **Activated Carbon Filtration:** Activated carbon filters trap and absorb odor particles.

### Choosing the Best Odor Eliminator

Selecting the best odor eliminator depends on the type of odor and its severity. For example:

– **Biological Odors (e.g., pet urine, mold):** Ozone treatment or hydroxyl generators.
– **Smoke Odors:** Thermal fogging or activated carbon filtration.
– **Food Odors:** Encapsulation or air purification.

Professional odor removal companies can assess the situation and recommend the most suitable method.
