Sometimes, you walk in your front door or basement, and an unpleasant odor smacks you in the face. You check every nook and cranny, trying to detect the source of the offensive smell. You wonder if one of your pets left you a “gift” and start scrubbing your carpets and upholstery futilely.
You continue the search for hidden food, which may have dropped in between the sofa cushions. Then, you open the windows after some crumbs in your oven smoke up the entire house. However, attempts to rid your house of the nasty smell continue to plague you for weeks.
Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC) Suggestions for Tackling Smells
After a month of frustration, you find “Tips To Help Odor Control In Your Home” from the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC). Here are some of the suggestions:
- Extensive cleaning and use of correct antimicrobial agents: An oxidizer or enzyme can break down the organic matter on all surfaces that the smoke contacted. However, finding the right one can be challenging without the proper training and experience. Smoke is especially stubborn because it penetrates carpet, furniture, walls and ceilings.
- Professional odor treatment: Most homeowners cannot identify and eliminate the source of these challenging odor problems. Professionals certified through the IICRC are trained to detect and isolate the source quickly. Based on their extensive knowledge, IICRC-certified technicians learn about effective odor removal, along with the most advanced technologies and treatments.
- Elimination of molds and bacteria: IICRC-trained water damage restoration technicians can identify and remove the molds and bacteria, which may be the odor-offending culprits. Water damage restoration professionals also know the correct way to dry material, which can also cause bad smells. These professionals can help a home or business owner eliminate odors permanently.
