Foggers
« on: May 26, 2008, 10:57:52 PM »
Does anyone use these for odor controll? I am going to clean high end condo that had been trashed and the people smoked and had a small fire on the stove. there is no fire damage just cleaning and try to get the odor out of the unit. I wanted to know if anyone here does stuff like this? ???

I went to a course for odor control by the IICRC and they covered smoke. Foggers came up and, if memory serves, the smallest particle from a fogger is still too big to get into the places smoke will unless a thermal fogger is used. Now, a dude from Unsmoke taught the class, he also sold the unsmoke brand of thermal fogging solution so he could have been a little biased.

I spoke with several folks who used the Vaportec stuff for smoke (a few here) who liked their results.

I owned a thermal fogger for some time and the scent (back then) was 'orange'. It always smelled like a burned orange to me.

I am going to try a few different things for a client who smokes but has three cats I don't want to kill. Lets keep one another up on this and share results.

IF, and i say IF, the fire on the stove was contained quickly, and did not have smoke spread fully throughout the home, then a fogger, with multiple applications should be ok.
ozone treatment may be in order too.

for years on end, i've successfully used foggers to rid homes of smoke odor, where fire began in and around furnaces, and always use them to rid ductwork of foul odors after duct cleaning, especially heavy chain smokers homes!!

So a Thermal fogger would be a smart investment. I see them selling for about $200 new. I will keep you all informed.

Be careful when using a thermal fogger.

They all have various warnings on them about using near an open flame, etc.

I am hearing more and more about the vaportec cartridges. Good things too.

Orlando area has a janitorial supply house where the owner is a real honest guy. he'll tell ya up front when something is good or if it blows. he is all over the vaportek thing. He did say that the odor used for smoke is a Ben-*** smell and is somewhat 'strong'. BUT works like a charm. he also said that the co that makes em (Eco?) also has that 'scent' in a liquid form )SOS) that can be added to atomizers or CC juice (even encap products) for added help with odor control.

I did not mean to suugest a thermal fogger. I hated the scent left behind and so did everyon who smelled it.

Micky says he used cold foggers with great success.....

To me that is good news because the vaportek carts are not cheap.
