Smoke Odor Removal in Confined Areas
Confined areas could mean a closet, a drawer, drop ceiling, or a crawlspace. Smoke odor gets easily trapped in these areas, becoming a pervasive problem, so it is pertinent they get cleaned and deodorized.
Basic Method
- Check for safety hazards.
- Remove any charred debris.
- Using a pump-up sprayer, contact spray on or around the surfaces with Unsmoke 9-D-9 diluted at 3-6 oz per gallon of water.
- Clean the structure and durable contents with your choice of degreaser/fire cleaner diluted per label instructions in a pump-up sprayer. Agitate the area with a sponge, and then towel dry. Unsmoke 9-D-9 can be added to Degrease-All for extra deodorization during this step.
- Polish finished wood with mixture of one (1) gallon of Unitex Luster Lemon Oil Polish and two (2) ounces of Unsmoke Thermal 55.
- Thermal fog the structure using Unsmoke Thermal 55 in a Thermal Gen Jr. Fogger. Small items can be moved to another location and covered with poly sheeting if needed.
- Place an ozone machine at the odor’s source and let it operate for 24-28 hours as required.
- Place an Unsmoke Bad Odor Block or a Fresh Wave IAQ Gel in any areas close to the odor source.
