FAQ: How Do I Remove Stubborn Cigarette and Cooking Odors?

A major challenge for property managers is removing stubborn odors left behind by former residents. At Clean Green Solutions, a large percentage of our customer base comes from apartment communities, and we are asked all the time about eliminating smells from cigarette smoke and strong cooking.

Traditional methods often fall short. A resident moves out after years of smoking, and despite shampooing carpets, cleaning the unit, painting, and changing HVAC filters, the smell of smoke persists. That’s because the odor has saturated the entire HVAC system and ductwork. No amount of traditional cleaning will get rid of it.

The Odorox Solution: Harnessing the Power of Hydroxyls


The real solution is to go beyond traditional cleaning and use a technology that purifies the air itself. The answer lies in hydroxyls. These are nature’s way of disinfecting and purifying the Earth. That fresh, clean smell you notice after a rainstorm? That’s the work of hydroxyls, which are created when sunlight interacts with moisture in the air.

Our Odorox technology replicates this natural process indoors. It generates powerful hydroxyls that seek out and destroy odor-causing molecules. The result is a truly clean, fresh, and disinfected space without the use of harsh chemicals or fragrances.

We’ve successfully helped our customers resolve odors in a wide variety of high-turnover spaces, including:

  • Apartment units with cigarette and cooking odors.
  • College dorm rooms with mold and mildew smells.
  • University locker rooms with persistent odors.
  • Hair salons with lingering chemical smells.
