Ozone smoke removal uses an ozone generator to eliminate stubborn odors from sources like house fires, wildfires, or cigarette smoke. Ozone (O3) is a highly reactive, unstable gas that neutralizes odors by oxidizing the organic compounds it comes into contact with. During this oxidation process, ozone "donates" its extra oxygen molecule to the smoke particles, effectively eliminating their smell, with oxygen being the primary byproduct. While ozone can be effective for removing smoke smells from building materials and belongings like wood furniture, this treatment is best left to a professional, as improper use of an ozone generator can be dangerous to your health.
The frequency depends on several factors, such as whether you have pets or children, the type of carpet, and the level of activity in your home. We recommended that you have your carpets professionally cleaned every 12 to 18 months. However, if you have children, pets, or allergies, you may want to clean them more frequently, like every 6 to 12 months instead.
We love our pets, but a dog's fur, gums, teeth, and butt can all be sources of lingering smells that affect your home. If your dog is wet or dirty from playing outside, they can easily bring these scents into your house as well.
While you don’t have to move everything out of a room for a carpet cleaning, doing so will reveal
hidden dirt and allow for a more thorough cleaning. However, for heavy or rarely used areas under furniture, cleaning around the pieces can be enough. Professional cleaners often work around large items or move furniture as needed.
Your schedule for deep cleaning will depend on how often you clean regularly and how dirty your home gets. If you clean weekly and keep things tidy, you may only need to deep clean once a year. But if you don’t keep up with regular cleaning or have pets that drag in mud and shed all over the house, you might need deep cleaning two or three times a year.
