How does our advanced odor removal process work?
It’s not odor masking. It’s an effective remediation and
sanitization process that begins with a dry vapor
treatment.
The Green Team of Flagstaff Advanced Odor Removal process employs a dry vapor system that circulates in the air within any interior space, including vehicles to completely neutralize odor molecules on contact at the source.
The active ingredient is chlorine dioxide. It targets organic odor molecules in the air and on solid surfaces. Once chlorine dioxide attaches to an odor-causing molecule, both are neutralized, leaving behind only a tiny amount of harmless, biodegradable residue in the form of sodium chloride, better known as common table salt.
Preparation
Before the dry vapor treatment, plan for all family members, pets, and plants to be out of the house for about 24 hours. Vehicles, and RVs only need to out of commission for a few hours. While the small amount of residue remaining after treatment is completely safe for your family and pets, chlorine dioxide vapors needs this time to dissipate, and you won’t be able to reenter until the process is complete. Once the vapors have dissipated there are no lingering health risks. Our odor remediators wear respirators only during the initial application.
Fogging
Depending on what’s causing the odor, it may be necessary to follow up the dry vapor treatment with secondary fogging treatment. In some cases, the fogging treatment is performed as the primary method for less severe odor problems. Our specialized fogging
devices create a moist vapor charged with chlorine dioxide that seeks out and neutralizes odor molecules at the source.
Like the dry vapor treatment, fogging requires all family members, pets, and plants to be out of the house.
However, this treatment only takes about three hours to neutralize odors and eliminate 99.99% of odor-causing bacteria and viruses.
Chlorine Dioxide Detergent
For stubborn deep-set odors in carpeting and subflooring, the experienced crew at Green Team Flagstaff will treat these areas with a special chlorine dioxide detergent. This can be followed up with dry vapor treatment, fogging, or both, depending on the severity of the odor. While the names of the treatments we use may sound harsh, our processes are not.
Impact on Bacteria & Viruses
Our deodorizing products have been approved by the Environmental Protection Agency. The techniques we use are sophisticated enough to remove odors and cleanse the air of bacteria, viruses, and allergens, like pet dander and pollen. When we are finished, your interior environment will be sanitized, safe to enter, and in better environmental condition than prior to the deodorization and sanitation process. Chlorine dioxide is also used in water treatment and food processing across America and around the world. It’s approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
