Odors can permeate homes, offices, and vehicles, creating an unpleasant environment. Professional odor removal services can eliminate these lingering smells, restoring fresh and clean air.

### Removing Stubborn Odors

Persistent odors pose a challenge, requiring specialized techniques to neutralize their source. Professionals employ various methods to address stubborn odors, such as:

– **Ozone Treatment:** Ozone molecules oxidize odor-causing molecules, effectively eliminating their presence.
– **Thermal Fogging:** A fogging machine dispenses a vaporized solution that encapsulates odor molecules, preventing them from releasing into the air.
– **Encapsulation:** A coating is applied to the odor source, trapping and encapsulating their molecules to prevent odors from escaping.

### How Long Does It Take for Baking Soda to Remove Odor?

Baking soda is a common household remedy for odor absorption. However, it may not be effective for deeply embedded or pervasive odors.

The time it takes for baking soda to remove odor varies depending on:

– **Odor Concentration:** Higher odor concentrations require longer exposure time.
– **Surface Type:** Porous surfaces (e.g., carpets) may absorb odors more deeply, extending the absorption process.
– **Duration of Exposure:** Extended exposure to baking soda allows for maximum absorption and odor removal.

Typically, leaving baking soda for 24-48 hours is recommended for optimal odor removal. For stubborn odors, professionals may apply a baking soda paste and allow it to sit for several days.
