Our Front Office

There was a recent fire in my office building. How do I rid my office of the campfire smell?

There was a fire in my office building about two weeks ago and the smoke smell is lingering in my office. We've had Utah Disaster Kleenup come and wash the carpet, clean the walls and our HVAC system but for some reason the smell is lingering. What can I do to help alleviate the smell? I have some odor eliminating candles and air fresheners. I'm wondering if I sprinkle Baking Soda on the carpet and leave some open boxes of Baking Soda sitting around if that will help?

1. Open flames from candles in an office environment is "playing with fire". Literally. Not legal, either. I don't know if it will ever go away entirely, but the baking soda can't hurt...I've heard kitty litter might work, too.
2. All of those things are fine and dandy, but, the smoke is now embedded into the painted walls and the carpet and the padding. You have to have the insurance company bring in contractors to replace the carpeting/padding, and then apply "KILZ" to all affected walls and repaint. I've done fire restoration on several buildings and this is THE ONLY way to remove the odors. Also, any fabric covered furniture is subject to cause smoky smell too.
3. KILZ KILZ KILZ KILZ thats the only thing that works
4. Orange lemon washing power
5. The Utah Disaster Kleenup should have an ozone blaster that will neutralize the smell. This is what hotels use for cleaning up a non-smoking room that has been smoked in. If they need to purchase one, tell them to call Tom at http://www.maxblasterusa.com/. He is a great guy to work with and he has the best units on the market. I hope this helps.
