on 12/23/2008 For smoke deodorization, we use Thermal Foggers. Thermal Foggers heat solvent based deoderants and turns it into a fog. A smoke particulate measures 4.0 microns in size, a deoderant droplet from the thermal fogger measures 0.5 microns. Because of this, the deoderant has the ability to penetrate and destroy the malodor. Many fire restoration contractors have these devices. At Paul Davis Restoration of Broward, in addition for house fires,we even use them for automobiles with cigarette smoke odors.

on 5/24/2007 Try the Bad Air Sponge, an air deodorizer. I'm very happy with how it works in my home. I get mine from goodbyestinky.com It takes the smell right out of the air.
