Death Odor Removal Frequently Asked Questions in Maplewood, Tulsa, OK
Do carpets and furniture have to be thrown away?

Can I use air fresheners, vinegar or baking soda?
They may cover the smell for a short time, but they do not reach fluids in padding or subfloor. Household products also leave the contamination behind. Source removal and professional treatment are what end the odor.
How long does death odor removal take?
It depends on how far the smell spread and how much must be removed. A small area can be finished in a day, while a larger job with odor in the structure takes longer. The team can explain the timeline after hearing the details.
