Odor in buildings and homes can come from many places, including animal urine, disaster contaminants, moisture problems or just plain soil.  Routine cleaning usually remove the sources of general soiling odors.  Pet urine decontamination normally requires more specialized deodorizing techniques.  To remove musty odor associated with moisture, ultimately, it’s important to identify and correct the moisture (high humidity) problem.  Odor associated with disaster contaminates (smoke, trauma events) requires highly specialized procedures and techniques.

Odor removal involves 4 general principles:

1. Remove the source of the odor if possible.

2. Clean the affected surfaces and materials.

3. Recreate the condition of penetration with the appropriate counteractants.

4. Seal restorable surfaces as necessary.
