Odor Removal Services are essential for maintaining a clean and pleasant indoor environment. Various methods and cleaning agents are available to eliminate unpleasant odors effectively.
### Odor Removal Methods
**1. Absorption:**
– Activated carbon or baking soda absorbs odors by trapping them in their porous structure.
**2. Oxidation:**
– Ozone generators or hydroxyl radicals chemically break down odor molecules.
**3. Ionization:**
– Ionizers release negative ions that neutralize positive ions carrying odor molecules.
