Cigarette Smell Removal in Placentia | Odor Removal Experts of LA & OC

Odor Removal Experts using professional ozone equipment to eliminate cigarette smoke odors and sanitize a residential condo in Placentia.

Moving into a new home should be a breath of fresh air, but for one recent homebuyer in Placentia, the experience was clouded by the lingering scent of a previous owner’s habit. We were called to a 1,000-square-foot condo where a solo woman, a professional working in the medical field, had just purchased her first place. While she was thrilled with the location, the heavy cigarette smell was a dealbreaker for her move-in date.

Because of her background in healthcare, she was already quite familiar with the science behind our process. She understood the power of ozone used in operating rooms for sterilization and didn’t want to move her belongings into the space without a professional Smoke Odor Removal treatment first. She found us through a Google search, looking for a team that could provide a medical-grade level of clean to her new living environment.

The Sanitization Process

For a condo of this size, we deployed 2 of our high-output machines to ensure every square inch was addressed. Cigarette smoke is particularly invasive, as the resins and tars bind to walls, ceilings, and even inside HVAC ductwork.

The length of treatment was 24 hours, which provided ample time for the ozone to permeate the 1,000 square feet of living space, neutralizing the odor molecules at a molecular level. This process doesn’t just mask the scent; it breaks down the pollutants, effectively sanitizing the air and surfaces just as the client expected from her experience in the medical field.

A Fresh Move-In

Our “local hero” mission is to ensure that every client feels safe and comfortable in their home. After the 24-hour cycle and proper ventilation, the transformation was complete. The customer was happy to finally move into her freshly cleaned condo, confident that her new home was as healthy as it was beautiful.
