Odour neutralisation

Some smells do not go away even with thorough cleaning – smoke, nicotine, pet odours or the musty smell after water damage sit deep in walls, floors and textiles. With professional odour neutralisation, including ozone treatment, we remove even stubborn odours without leaving residue.

  • Ozone treatment – breaks down odour molecules, then decays without residue into oxygen
  • Removal of smoke, nicotine and pet odours – targeted, rather than just masked
  • After water damage – against musty and damp smells
  • Carried out properly – the room can be used afterwards without residue

Frequently asked questions

Odour neutralisation – in brief

How is this different from normal cleaning?

Normal cleaning removes visible dirt. Odour molecules, however, often sit deep in walls, floors or textiles – only targeted odour neutralisation, for example by ozone treatment, deals with that.

Is ozone treatment safe for health?

The room must not be entered during treatment, as ozone is an irritant at high concentrations. Once it has been properly ventilated, the room can be used again without restriction – ozone breaks down without residue into oxygen.

Which odours does the method help with?

For stubborn smoke, nicotine, pet and musty smells, and after water damage – wherever airing and normal cleaning are no longer enough on their own.

Process

How it works

  • Establish the cause – Is the smell in the textiles, the plaster, the floor build-up or the ventilation? That determines whether ozone treatment alone is enough.
  • Prepare – The room is cleared and cleaned – on dirty surfaces no odour treatment works for long.
  • Ozone treatment – The unit runs for several hours in the sealed room. Ozone breaks down the odour molecules instead of masking them.
  • Ventilate and check – Once it has been properly ventilated, the room can be used normally again – ozone breaks down without residue into oxygen.
  • If needed: nicotine barrier – For heavily yellowed smokers' flats we combine the treatment with a sealing primer and a fresh coat of paint from our painting department.
Typical cases

When airing is no longer enough

  • Smoker's flat before re-letting – nicotine sits in wallpaper, plaster and floor coverings
  • After water damage – musty smell from the floor build-up or behind wall linings
  • Pets – especially in carpets and textile floor coverings
  • Smell of burning – after small fires, even when little damage is visible
  • Vacant properties – stale, musty smell after a long period of vacancy
What you should know: during treatment nobody may be in the room, including plants and pets. We plan it so that the flat can be used normally again by the agreed date – for a flat handover, usually overnight.
