Odor Control and Removal

Odor control and removal isn't something you usually think about.

At least not unless that garbage under the kitchen sink gets a little "ripe".

And nothing beats the comfort of your home. Be it a house in the countryside or a condominium unit in the metropolis. The same can be said for any business. Business owners pride themselves in the establishments they own. As professionals, their workplace is an avenue to show their respectability and competence in their field.

But, our homes and businesses can be prone to foul odors. When it happens, we think it's the worst smell in the world. And it doesn't matter if it's a broken sewage system, moldy walls, smoke residue, or the aforementioned rotting kitchen garbage. All of these are sources of awful scents. And, when not treated, these odors can cause permeate the structure itself and bring long term grief to the occupants.

What Happens When A Place Gets Really Stinky?

While a smelly home or business isn’t as life-threatening as one on fire, it delivers misery in several other ways. We take pride in the way we keep our homes. We make sure every inch feels warm and cozy from the doorstep to the rear door. After all, it's a source of pride when we entertain visitors. But when odors plague the house, a feeling of embarrassment is obvious on our face - especially when visitors drop by. You fail to keep up with conversations because all you think is "I wonder if they notice my stinky home..." As a result, your home feels less welcoming and it's a source of embarrassment.

The same applies to a business. No client in their right minds would want to make large transactions in a place reeking of a foul smell. It's indisputable that a smelly business will make its customers or clients feel uncomfortable. As the business owner, you must ensure this doesn’t happen (and won’t happen in the future!).

Complications Of A Building That Reeks...

You may not know it yet, but foul odors tormenting your home or business will have adverse consequences long term. Specifically, improper or delayed attempts at affecting a solution often results in the unwanted scents permeating the contact surface. As a result, these odors become harder (and occasionally impossible) to remove.

Additionally, if corrective solutions are not implemented, a house that reeks will pose health threats to those living in it. For example, smoking in your home allows cigarette smoke to yellow and darken your ceilings and walls. The cigarette smell will permeate the fabric materials in your furniture as well. Inhaling these toxic chemicals over and over again puts you at a significantly higher risk of respiratory problems. But it doesn’t stop with breathing problems. Harmful elements from the odors of cigarette smoke also damage the eyes. Prolonged exposure causes the eyes to dry up and become watery.

Odors can be anywhere

Even your bedroom isn’t safe from the negative effects of lingering odors. Why? Because those horrible scents that plague the bedroom trigger discomfort in your brain, making you stay up all night or causing you to wake up from your sleep. Obviously, it’s best to get rid of the repulsive smell before you experience this (or when your friends crash for a sleepover!).

Unsurprisingly, businesses also suffer the same fate. Aside from respiratory and sleeping problems, foul scents can cause migraines and headaches. The effects of prolonged inhalation of atrocious odors can take a toll on your head.

Reduced productivity is unavoidable when a business is affected by a horrible odor. Any disgusting smell that picks on your nose will make you and your staff uneasy while working. And no matter how much you try to avoid it, the offending scent makes its way into your nose. From there, it goes straight to your brain. From your customer's perspective, an office displeasing to your clientele’s sense of smell screams "disorganized, regressive, and unprofessional". Obviously your business' "disgusting scent" can eliminate any chance of a great first impression.
