The best-case scenario for dealing with an odor issue is to call in an odor removal and cleaning company to remediate the unpleasant smell.

Odors: Good and Bad

According to a recent poll, some of the best smells in the world include fresh air, vanilla, coffee, barbecue, melted chocolate, bacon, freshly cut grass, a campfire, and popcorn. Freshly baked bread and cookies received an honorable mention.

On the other hand, some of the most offensive odors included human waste, decomposing animal carcass, skunk spray, household garbage, raw sewage, pet urine, and cigarette smoke.

Odors that are difficult to remove include:

• smoke and soot from a cooking or electrical fire in the home
• pet odors, such as urine and feces from dogs, cats, or birds
• skunk spray
• cigarette smoke
• mold odor from a mold infestation or water damage
• dead animals in the attic, wall, or crawl space
• sewage spill
• oil, grease, and gasoline odor on carpet, flooring, and cloth furniture
• odors from drug use and drug manufacturing

Several factors are involved in odor removal, including the chemical composition of the odor-causing substance, the surface on which the substance is located, and how long the substance has been allowed to stay on the surface.
