The Science of Odour Elimination

New smoke odour elimination treatments - leave no residues!

Odour elimination is a vital part of any fire damage restoration work. The smell of smoke is a powerful emotional trigger. It reminds people of the fear and misery associated with their fire. Richfords odour elimination treatments can prevent this.

Richfords odour elimination treatments use organic peroxides that chemically destroy the odour and then revert to water - free from any harmful residue and free from unpleasant masking scents.

Some odours require very little odour elimination treatment. Other fires, especially slow burning oxygen starved fires, produce very persistent odours that require more intensive odour elimination. It’s important that the type of odour is recognised and treated with an odour elimination product to ensure that you have an odour free building before the repair and redecoration begins. Odours trapped behind new paint are more complex to treat with odour elimination.

Odour elimination for trapped odours

Sometimes odour becomes trapped in building voids. We can deal with this by introducing our odour elimination treatment fogs through the KrugerAir injection system. The odour elimination treatment is 'injected' into the void using our unique system.

This method of odour elimination can avoid the disruption of lifting floorboards, the removal of wallboarding and the extra costs associated with this.

This method of odour elimination is a good example of our ability to innovate - we deliver you cost saving and convenient solutions.
