01 / SMOKE ODOR REMOVAL
Build a history of the odor problem
Tell us where the smell is most noticeable, when it changes, and whether rooms or belongings were affected differently. Odor may seem stronger after a room has been closed or when conditions change, but those observations do not identify a source with certainty. They help direct a careful review of accessible areas.
Explain any previous cleaning, fragrance use, discarded items, repairs, or repainted surfaces. This avoids repeating an approach without understanding its limitations. A cleaning assessment is not an air-quality test, exposure assessment, or medical opinion, and the absence of a noticeable smell does not establish that a property is safe to occupy.

Remove affected sources where practical
Accessible smoke residues on retained hard surfaces are one potential source. Where suitable for the substrate, loose soot is addressed using appropriate dry removal before wet cleaning of remaining films. The cleaning sequence should avoid spreading deposits from heavily affected areas into rooms that have not been contaminated.
Contents selection is equally important. Soft furnishings, porous panels, paper-based materials, and heat-damaged items may hold contamination beyond the reach of surface cleaning. Some may need replacement or specialist evaluation. Disposal or removal decisions require owner authorization; an odor enquiry should not become an unexplained blanket recommendation to discard all belongings.

Understand the limits of additional treatment
After source removal and cleaning, any further odor treatment must be suitable for the actual materials and site conditions. We do not describe fogging alone, fragrance application, or a generic deodorizing pass as a substitute for residue removal. Proposed treatment details and access requirements should be confirmed before work is authorized.
No permanent odor elimination guarantee is offered. Concealed deposits, inaccessible spaces, retained porous materials, or continuing contamination from another area can affect the result. Where an underlying source remains, more treatment may have limited value until the appropriate contractor addresses that source. Expectations should be based on the agreed scope, not a universal outcome claim.

Review recurring smells without guessing
If a smell remains after cleaning, distinguish an untreated source from a material that has not responded and an area that was outside the original scope. Keeping a simple record of affected rooms and retained belongings can make that discussion more useful. Avoid sealing items away in clean rooms before their condition is understood.
Concerns involving AC ducts, concealed construction, chemical contamination, or building systems need the relevant qualified specialists. We do not diagnose those systems through a smell check. Do not enter an unsafe property, remove panels, or handle suspect materials to help locate an odor source for an assessment enquiry.

Agree a safe and bounded cleaning scope
Assessment requires safe, authorized access. It does not establish structural or electrical safety, fire compliance, or occupation fitness. Suspected asbestos, chemical residues, and unstable structures require referral. Structural repairs, reconstruction, repainting, electrical, plumbing, engineering, hazardous materials, AC duct work, laboratory tests, insurance loss assessment, and fire certification are excluded unless separately quoted and confirmed.
