What is Involved
Known for our success in the field, AllAces Cleaning & Restoration has garnered quite the reputation for our effective and long-lasting solutions. Helping aid our technicians is an extensive range of state-of-the-art remediation equipment including:
- Carbon and HEPA filtered air scrubbers – Greatly improving air quality and odour, these break down the airborne contaminants.
- VaporShark – A powerful blend of oils release neutralising dry vapours to be diffused into the air, penetrating surrounding surfaces and nullifying odours.
- Ozone – Releasing a bacterial and fungicidal gas, this machine works as a fumigator to creak down carbon molecules in the air.
- Hydroxyl – Simulating safe, reoccurring natural molecules, UV rays are used to cleanse the air of contaminants and odours.
Understanding and Managing Cigarette Smoke Odours
Cigarette smoke leaves behind a stubborn mix of tar, nicotine, and volatile gases that quickly penetrate fabrics, porous surfaces, and HVAC systems. If you are dealing with recent or mild smoke exposure, these initial steps can help:
Ventilation & Filtration: Maximise airflow with open windows and fans. Run HEPA or activated carbon air purifiers to capture airborne particles.
Surface Cleaning: Wash all affected upholstery and curtains. Scrub hard surfaces, walls, and ceilings with a diluted white vinegar and water solution to cut through surface-level tar.
Natural Odour Absorbers: Leave bowls of baking soda, activated charcoal, or plain white vinegar in affected rooms to help naturally neutralise lingering smells.
Ongoing Prevention: Enforce strict outdoor smoking rules and stick to a regular deep-cleaning schedule to stop odours from settling permanently.
Why Engage a Professional?
The nature of nicotine residue makes it reasonably hard to remove. Masking cigarette smoke odour is relatively easy, but removing it permanently requires specialised equipment and work processes. Attempting to undertake any kind of odour removal measures yourself is often ineffective, and can even compound the issue. This is especially relevant to cigarette smoke.
While DIY remedies are highly effective for surface-level mitigation, they cannot reach the chemical residues trapped deep within your building’s structure. When home methods fall short, our professional-grade extraction, thermal fogging, and ozone treatments are required to permanently eradicate the contamination and restore your air quality.
Operating since 1988, AllAces Cleaning & Restoration can remediate even the most severe and stubborn smell of cigarette smoke. Leave the job to the professionals and secure yourself an effective and long-lasting odour removal solution
FAQs
Can you actually remove the cigarette smell?
Yes, we experience an incredible amount of success with our odour removal services.
Do you offer an odour removal guarantee?
The odour remediation process operates on a spectrum and each case is unique. While we definitely experience very high levels of success, we always need to assess the source, effected materials (timber vs. carpet vs. concrete, for example) and the remediation options that the space allows before discussing any expected outcomes. There is no blanket treatment and we treat each case with the utmost care and consideration.
How long will the the cigarette smoke odour removal take?
For buildings, it will depending on the size. The initial treatment can take anywhere between 2 and 4 hours and we will need to leave our Hydroxyl machine on the premises for a minimum of three days. Cars will usually take 2-3 days in total.
Is the process safe and can we stay on the premises?
While completely safe, the application of the initial treatment can be completed a lot more efficiently without the interruptions of occupants. Following this step, we will install a Hydroxyl machine for a minimum of three days. It is entirely safe to be in the building while this is running. It is similar in size to a squat wheelie bin so it does take up a little room. It is, however, very quiet to run.
Will the smell remain in my air conditioning system?
Cigarette smoke particles are incredibly fine and easily drawn into HVAC systems, where they coat the ductwork and get redistributed throughout the building. As part of a comprehensive cigarette smoke odour removal plan, we assess the environment and may recommend specialized duct cleaning to ensure the entire system is neutralized and no residual odors are pushed back into the clean space.
Does cigarette smoke odour removal work on soft furnishings like couches and carpets?
Yes, our techniques can be highly effective on soft furnishings. However, porous materials like upholstery, curtains, and carpets absorb smoke very heavily. During our initial assessment for Cigarette Smoke Odour Removal, we will evaluate these materials. Depending on the severity of the contamination, we utilize targeted extraction cleaning methods or may advise if certain heavily saturated items require specialized off-site treatment.
