  • Provide upfront pricing

The Science Behind Our Process

Our odor removal process is based on proven scientific principles that target odors at the molecular level.

How Ozone Works

Ozone (O₃) is a powerful oxidizing agent that breaks down odor-causing compounds through oxidation. When ozone encounters odor molecules, it breaks the chemical bonds that create the smell, effectively neutralizing the odor at its source rather than just masking it.

Effective Penetration

As a gas, ozone can reach areas that conventional cleaning can't access, including deep into fabrics, upholstery, and porous materials where odors hide. Our treatment effectively targets odor molecules in the air and on exposed surfaces throughout your space.

Safe & Environmentally Friendly

After treatment, ozone naturally converts back to oxygen (O₂), leaving no harmful residues or chemicals. This makes it an environmentally friendly alternative to chemical treatments that may contain harsh or persistent compounds.

What is Ozone (O₃)?

Ozone (O₃), also known as activated oxygen, is a naturally occurring molecule with powerful odor-neutralizing properties. In its gaseous form, ozone is colorless but has a distinctive, fresh scent, often compared to clean air after a thunderstorm.

Our process uses the controlled, temporary application of ozone because it is an incredibly effective oxidizing agent. This means ozone doesn't just cover up odors; it destroys them at the molecular level by breaking down the complex compounds that cause unpleasant smells.

Remarkably, after the treatment process, ozone naturally and rapidly converts back into regular oxygen (O₂), leaving no harmful residues or chemical byproducts behind. This makes it a potent yet environmentally responsible solution.

Essential Safety Information

Your safety is our top priority. Our odor elimination process involves controlled ozone (O₃) treatment and safe, non-toxic fogging. Please review these crucial safety precautions:

EXTREMELY IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

For the safety and effectiveness of the ozone treatment, strict adherence to the following precautions is absolutely mandatory and non-negotiable:

  • !

    Complete Vacancy Required

    During the ozone treatment, no people, pets (including fish), or plants can be present in the treated area. This is non-negotiable.

  • !

    Shared Buildings Protocol

    For apartments, condos, or other shared buildings:

    • You must provide written notification to all neighboring units that share airspace (units directly above, below, or beside yours).
    • Any neighboring units that share airspace must also be completely vacant during the treatment.
    • We require confirmation that your neighbors have received and acknowledged this notification.
    • You must provide emergency contact information for yourself and, if possible, for your neighbors.
  • !

    No Entry During Treatment

    Absolutely no entry is permitted into the treated area while the ozone treatment is in progress.

  • !

    Ventilation Period

    We will handle the ventilation process (2-6 hours, depending on treatment duration) after the treatment. We'll provide specific instructions on when it's safe to re-enter your space.

  • !

    Emergency Protocol

    If, after the ventilation period, you detect the smell of ozone or experience any difficulty breathing:

    1. Immediately Evacuate: Leave the treated area and ensure everyone else evacuates as well.
    2. Contact Emergency Services (If Necessary): If you experience significant breathing difficulty or other concerning symptoms, call emergency services (911) immediately.
    3. Notify Neighbors (Shared Buildings): If you are in an apartment building, condo, or shared living space, immediately notify any neighboring units that share airspace.
    4. Contact Our Emergency Hotline IMMEDIATELY: Call our dedicated emergency hotline at (888) 611-ODOR – available 24/7. Do not attempt to re-enter the property until you have spoken with a NoMoreOdors.com representative.

Pre-Treatment Checklist: Easy Steps for Optimal Results

To ensure the most effective odor elimination and a smooth, hassle-free treatment experience, please carefully complete the following checklist before our team arrives for your scheduled service:

1

Remove the Odor Source (ESSENTIAL)

Our process eliminates existing odors, but it cannot prevent new odors if the source remains. Identify and completely remove the source (e.g., soiled materials, pet waste, spoiled food).

Our guarantee is valid only if the odor source is completely removed.

2

Clean the Affected Area

We specialize in odor elimination, not cleaning. The area must be clean before we can treat it. Vacuum carpets, wash fabrics, wipe down surfaces, and clean any visible stains. We can refer you to professional cleaning services if needed.

3

Remove or Protect Sensitive Items

  • Remove: All people, pets (including fish), and plants must be removed from the property.
  • Remove or Cover: Valuable artwork, antiques, sensitive electronics, any items showing signs of existing damage, and items that may require specialized cleaning.
4

Provide Access & Shared Building Protocol

  • Ensure our technicians have easy access to all areas requiring treatment.
  • For shared buildings: Notify all neighboring units that share airspace. Ensure they are vacant during treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does the process require two visits?

Our treatment requires two visits to ensure maximum effectiveness. The first visit is for assessment and equipment setup. The treatment then needs to run for 24 hours (sometimes longer for severe cases). We then return for a second visit to remove equipment, ventilate the space, and verify results. This approach ensures thorough odor elimination rather than just masking the problem.

How long does the entire process take?

The complete process takes approximately 27-30 hours from start to finish. This includes the initial setup visit (1-2 hours), the 24-hour treatment period, and the final equipment removal and ventilation visit (2-4 hours). For severe odor issues, the treatment may extend to 48 hours.

Is the treatment safe?

Yes, our process is completely safe when proper protocols are followed. People, pets (including fish), and plants must be removed during treatment and for the entire ventilation period (2-6 hours) afterward. After proper ventilation, the space is completely safe to reoccupy.

How soon can you schedule a treatment?

We typically can schedule treatments within 24-48 hours of your initial contact for Fort Lauderdale and surrounding areas. For emergency situations, we offer expedited scheduling when possible.
