Smoke Damage Removal

smoke damage

Is it time to sell or rent your house but the odor from cigarettes or cigars is offensive to others?

This home in Redding, CA needed to have cigarette residue and smoke odors removed after 25 years of smoking in the home. The cabinet handles were covered in residue until our cleaning crew came in and worked hard using our specialty cleaning and deodorizing products on hard surfaces including the walls.  Pictured is a close up showing a cleaned handle and cabinet above the uncleaned handle and cabinet.

Removing cigarette smoke residue after many years of smoking requires specialty cleaning products such as counteractants that help permanently remove odors and cleaning agents that breakdown the residue along with hard work from our technicians.  

In severe cases like this one, we typically recommend that the carpet and padding be removed because they hold odors like a filter would.  If window coverings can't be washed or dry cleaned, then we recommend they be removed.
