Summertime activities can sometimes bring a range of foul-smelling challenges for homeowners. Fun at the pool or the beach leads to piles of damp towels and swimsuits that become musty odor magnets. Increased outdoor play, exercise, and sports activities bring the stench of a locker room inside with sweaty shoes, uniforms, and equipment.

Extreme Weather Intensifies Summertime Odor Potential

Hot and dry weather, high winds, and the potential of wildfires present another risk of household smoke infiltration in the warmer months. On the other hand, torrential summer rain storms frequently cause leaks, flooding, or sewage backups that infuse residences with the horrible stench of human waste, pathogens, possibly dead animals, chemicals, and rapidly growing mold colonies when water damage is unaddressed. Whether odor removal issues build over time because of neglected housekeeping tasks or occur instantaneously because of a fire or water crisis, professional deodorization help from AdvantaClean is crucial to restoring the easy living you’re looking for this summer.

Dirty HVAC Systems Increase Summertime Odors

Closing doors and shuttering windows during humid and hot spells can trap stale cooking, outdoor smoke, damp textile and leather odors, and other unpleasant smells, which are then recycled by your HVAC system. The grimy, dusty, hair and dander-filled ductwork can also hold moldy debris created when moisture from clogged condensation drains or other unresolved leaks accelerates the growth cycle of spores. Malodors concentrate in the tiny particles of dirt, soot, mold, and other debris, making efficient and effective source cleanup difficult.

AdvantaClean Delivers Summertime Odor Relief

Training and experience in multiple neutralization and elimination strategies prepare AdvantaClean technicians well to assist with your odor removal needs. Our technicians complete training from the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC), including obtaining Odor Control Technician (OCT) certification. The training prepares our team to identify the source of many common summertime household odors and implement strategies for effective deodorization. Supporting our IICRC certification, we also use odor removal techniques and methodologies learned through the National Organization of Remediators and Mold Inspectors (NORMI) and the National Association of Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA).

Advanced Odor Banishing Tactics

Summertime odors hitch on dust, spores, mold debris, cooking residues, soot, bacteria, and more. Surface and general cleaning is not enough to complete deodorization. Our technicians choose among innovative technologies to neutralize the smell of contaminants settled into crevices. Our strategies include:

  • HEPA-filtered vacuuming to capture particles supported by atmosphere containment systems, often termed “air scrubbers,” suctioning air full of smelly molecules through HEPA filters before exhausting.
  • UV light sanitizers deployed to kill hard-to-reach bacteria and other pathogens.
  • Hydroxyl generators, ozone machines, or fogging of deodorant substances create chemical changes that neutralize smells at the molecular level.
