Smoke Odor Removal
PERMANENT CIGARETTE, CIGAR, NICOTINE, & SMOKE ODOR REMOVAL
Why smoke odor is so hard to remove
Smoke particles settle deep into porous materials and continue releasing odor long after cleaning, painting, or flooring replacement. Whether from cigarettes, cigars, marijuana, or fire damage, smoke contamination penetrates walls, ceilings, insulation, flooring, furniture, and HVAC systems—making permanent removal difficult without proper treatment.
■ Whole-home treatment including HVAC and ductwork
■ Penetrates walls, ceilings, flooring, and hidden contamination areas
■ Typical 24-hour treatment with safe re-entry
■ Trusted by homeowners, agents, and investors
Why Traditional Methods Don't Work
These approaches may reduce odor temporarily, but they rarely eliminate it completely. Many common solutions only treat part of the problem:
Surface cleaning removes visible residue but often leaves embedded smoke odor behind
Air fresheners, candles, and foggers temporarily cover odors instead of eliminating them
Ozone treatments may reduce odor temporarily but often fail to fully neutralize odor trapped deep inside materials.
Our proven smoke odor removal process
At Ascent Odor Remediation, we use a professional chlorine dioxide treatment designed to neutralize smoke odor at the molecular level.
This process allows us to treat the entire property at once—including air, surfaces, HVAC systems, and hidden areas—helping eliminate smoke odor at the source instead of temporarily masking it.
- Penetrates areas traditional cleaning methods can’t reach
- Treats the entire structure—not just the air or visible surfaces
- Neutralizes smoke odor at the molecular level

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does smoke odor removal take?
Most projects are completed within approximately 24 hours, depending on the size of the property and severity of contamination.
Is the process safe?
Yes. During treatment, the property must remain vacant of people, pets, and plants. After treatment is complete and proper airing out has occurred, the home is safe to reenter.
Do I need to remove the furniture?
In most situations, no. Our treatment is designed to address odor throughout the home, including furniture and contents. We’ll provide any preparation instructions if needed prior to treatment.
Does this work for cigarette smoke?
Yes. Cigarette smoke is one of the most common issues we treat, including long-term smoke contamination that has built up over years.
Does this work after a fire?
Yes. We can often help eliminate lingering smoke odors after fire damage. Depending on severity, additional cleaning, restoration, or sealing may sometimes be recommended.
