Transitioning a property from a long-term rental to a high-end vacation destination requires more than just a fresh coat of paint and new furniture. We recently visited a beautiful condo complex in Newport Beach to tackle a challenge that would have derailed any five-star review: deep-seated tobacco odors. The property owner was preparing to convert the unit into an AirBnB and understood that a “clean” look isn’t enough—it has to smell clean, too.
When it comes to Smoke Odor Removal, the source is often more than just the air. In this particular unit, the previous long-term tenant was a smoker. Even if they mostly smoked outdoors, it is nearly impossible for a smoker not to bring those odors inside on their person. We identified that the smoke smell had permeated the closet area, clinging to the hamper, hangers, and even forgotten clothes. To ensure a total refresh, we removed these porous items before starting our specialized treatment.
The owner found us through a Google search while looking for a permanent solution rather than a temporary masking spray. For this project, we deployed two of our professional-grade odor removal machines to treat the space. Despite the persistent nature of tobacco resins, our process is designed to break down odor molecules at the source.
We performed an overnight treatment to ensure the entire condo was thoroughly deodorized. This time frame allows our technology to penetrate surfaces that traditional cleaning methods simply can’t reach. Whether it’s a 1,200 square-foot home or a specialized condo unit, our goal is to restore the environment to a neutral, fresh state.
The transformation was exactly what the owner needed to launch their new venture. The customer was thrilled, knowing that their property was finally ready for guests. With the smoke odor completely gone, they are now well on their way to financial independence through their AirBnB.
