Our Step-by-Step Odour Treatment Process
Odours can come from different sources, including pet urine, smoke, food, moisture and mould. Our specialists identify the source first, then select the appropriate treatment and products for the affected area.
Identify
We inspect the affected areas to identify the odour source, type and severity before selecting the appropriate treatment method.
Prepare
We prepare the affected surfaces and select the appropriate odour neutraliser, enzyme treatment or other solution based on the source.
Clean & Treat Treat
Our specialists apply targeted treatments such as enzymatic solutions, oxidising treatments or deep extraction to address odour at its source.
Neutralise & Remove
The treatment works through the required dwell time before odour-causing residues are removed through extraction, surface treatment or other suitable methods.
Check & Air Out
We inspect the treated areas, assess the results and provide guidance on ventilation and drying to help maintain a fresh indoor environment.
