This was a newly purchased two-story house in Irvine, around 5,000 square feet, where the previous owners smoked in doors, smoked a lot and smoked in every room. How do we know this? Because besides the obvious smell there were cigarette burns in the carpet in the master bedroom, around the bed, around the night stands. The poor new owner had been there for only 30 days and had tried replacing the carpet, doing a full cleaning of the house, it wasn’t enough, it still didn’t get rid of the smell. They didn’t want to suffer any more and so they called us. We brought the equipment necessary ..read more

This was a strange one: we got a call from a dealership in Irvine where this Ford dual cab pickup truck was about to be considered a total loss or total write off because a rat had started living inside the truck and then died inside the truck. Unfortunately, the smell of dead rat lingered even after the truck had been totally detailed, actually detailing and deep cleaning are never enough with smells this strong. They had tried to sell it once and the customer returned it due to the smell. We worked with the dealership to help them get this solved. We explained to them that unless you rem ..read more

This was a quite nice 3 bedroom apartment located in Santa Monica, California. In addition to having an issue with cigarette and cannabis smells, there was no bathroom ventilation fan in the bathroom which contributed to mold and mildew smell issues around the tub. We advised them to attack the mold around the tub with a spray bottle of Clorox bleach to begin the process of killing the mold, the source of the mildew smell. We told them that they need to scrub it or it comes back as well. Our ozone treatment does kill mold but it’s not practical to use it all the time so ventilation and ble ..read more

This was a job where a Building Products supply company had a really intense rat smell in their back room and needed odor removal help. Their office manager found us on line and gave us a call.

Not a good situation for any business! It was a huge upheaval for work situation and ability to get things done. We brought in our machinery and set it up in their space, about 4,300 sq ..read more

This was a huge house, over 7,000 square feet, in North Tustin, CA. The issue was that these renters were moving into a home that had been previously inhabited by cigarette smokers. The renters had been living in it for a few days. The property had not been cleaned or treated the property sufficiently before the renters moved in and left it to the renters to fend for themselves. To make sure that we got the job done right we split the house into upper and lower floors and treated each separately, 3,500 square feet the first day, same amount the next day. We don’t recommend approaching thin ..read more

This client had just purchased a 1 bedroom condo unit in Long Beach that had been previously owned by a person who smoked.

Even though the house had been cleaned, and the carpets shampooed before move-in, there was still a smell problem. The bedroom was a problem area as it had carpeted floors that seemed to be retaining smells even after a thorough commercial cleaning. We set up our machines, one based in the pr ..read more

These vessel is docked in Huntington Harbor and the owner saw our flyer at a Marine Hardware store on the bulletin board. The boat had a mildew smell problem which is very common when boats remain closed up because they have no ventilation. This is generally a problem during the winter months, the 3 month period around the holiday. It can be prevented, generally, by opening up the craft at least once a month. There are other devices, like a boat heater that  has the effect of taking moisture out automatically It’s also possible to put rock salt in containers here and there which can p ..read more
