Electronic Cig Blog

One of the most pungent odors in any home, restaurant or business is cigarette smoke. Whether you are a non-smoker or a chain smoker the human body is very effective at sensing the presence of any smoke and especially the smoke from cigarettes. In a home it can be a turn off for a guest, and even cost a realtor or seller the sale of a home.

One of the hardest aspects of removing cigarette smoke is that it can penetrate walls and fabrics and outlast any cover up scent you apply and can sometimes turn that cover up scent into a smell that is out right repulsive.

I receive numerous calls from concerned home owners every week about cigarette smoke in there house from a function they held or because they recently bought the house and the odor was temporarily masked. There are a few key things to remember when dealing with cigarette smoke smell.

1. The smell is actually a chemical that attaches itself to the walls and other building fixtures, and is constantly released by the flow of air throughout the home.

2. If you do not eliminate the chemical it will always come back. Fragrances DO NOT work on cigarette smell and the extra chemicals only harm you and your family.

3. Repainting or sealing a wall will not stop the smell from returning, it will seep through the paint and you will be in the same position you were in before you spent all that money on paint.

The only true cure for to neutralize cigarette smoke smell and eliminate the chemicals that cause the smell is through an ozone treatment. Ozone gas actually oxidizes the cigarette chemicals and neutralizes the source of the odor. They are used by manufacturers worldwide for many different uses but are especially effective odor eliminators.

Be careful there is more than one way to make ozone and the only safe way is by using UV light just like the ozone layer in earths atmosphere. The most important thing to remember when using an ozone generator is that they should only be used in UNOCCUPIED spaces. If anyone tells you that you can stay in the room while the generator runs they are either lying or selling you a product that is too weak to make any difference.
