  • What are the best products for decomposition odor removal?

    For professional-grade decomposition odor removal, a combination of specialized products is often required, moving beyond typical household cleaners. Enzymatic cleaners are paramount for initial cleanup, as they contain enzymes that break down organic matter, effectively eliminating the source of the odor. Brands like BioKleen Bac-Out or professional enzyme digesters are highly effective. For surface cleaning, hospital-grade disinfectants with strong virucidal and bactericidal properties are essential to not only clean but also sanitize the area, preventing the growth of odor-causing microorganisms. After initial cleaning, odor neutralizers are crucial. These products dont just mask odors but chemically alter or encapsulate the odor molecules. Look for industrial-strength formulations. For pervasive airborne odors, ozone generators are incredibly effective as they produce ozone (O3), which oxidizes and destroys odor molecules. However, these must be used with extreme caution in unoccupied spaces due to ozones respiratory hazards. Hydroxyl generators offer a safer alternative for occupied spaces, as they produce hydroxyl radicals that mimic natural outdoor deodorization processes. Activated charcoal can be used in bowls or sachets to absorb residual odors in the air. For odors absorbed into porous materials like subflooring or drywall, professional-grade encapsulation primers or sealers are often applied after cleaning and before new finishes to prevent the odor from off-gassing into the air. Companies like Kilz offer heavy-duty odor-blocking primers. The key is to select products specifically designed for biohazard and decomposition odors, as regular air fresheners or deodorizers will only provide temporary masking.
