Odor in homes and buildings arises from many sources that may include animal urine, disaster contaminates, moisture problems or just plain soil. Routine cleaning, using Certified Firms and Technicians automatically removes the sources of general soiling odors. Pet urine decontamination normally requires more specialized deodorizing techniques. To remove musty odor associated with moisture, ultimately it's important to identify and correct the moisture (high humidity) intrusion problem. Odor associated with disaster contaminates (smoke, trauma events) requires highly specialized procedures and techniques.

Odor removal involves four general principles:

 
1. removing the source as possible;
2. cleaning affected surfaces and materials;
3. recreating the conditions of penetration with appropriate counteractants, and  
4. sealing restorable surfaces as necessary.
Certified professionals are trained and experienced in dealing with carpet-related odor. They have the detection tools, the specialized agents, the equipment and the experienced necessary to deal with odors of all types and kinds.
