That Stinks: Call the St. Louis Area’s Odor Removal Specialists

Home is supposed to be your family’s happy place. At the end of the day or on the weekends, home should be the place you go to reconnect with family, celebrate the day’s triumphs, or recharge your batteries. But if you’re dealing with persistent household odors, it can be anything but. You’ve tried it all, right? Deep cleaning, open windows, better ventilation, candles, odor-masking sprays… none of them have done the trick. Perhaps it’s time to call in the St. Louis odor removal pros at Sams Carpet Cleaning and Repairs.

How Sams Removes Household Odors

There are a variety of factors that can lead to odors in your home. Many of the readily available “solutions” simply mask the smell instead of eliminating it. At Sams, we know how unpleasant it is to live in a house that stinks, and we also know what works to stop that stink! Whether it’s pets, smoke, cooking, a musty smell, or a strange smell you haven’t even been able to pinpoint yet,  we are here to help.

When you attempt to mask an odor, even if it works, it only works temporarily. Sometimes it just adds a new, equally offensive layer to the existing odor. The Sams team doesn’t cover up or mask the stink. We strike it at its source using a variety of treatments, depending on the what’s causing the problem:

  • Our trained professionals utilize state-of-the-art Ozone machines to convert normal oxygen to activated oxygen. Activated oxygen breaks down air pollutants and odors at their source.
  • We also employ a Thermo Fog process to follow the trails where odors could drift in your home, and neutralize them in hard to reach nooks and crannies. Thermo Fog’s small particles can penetrate contaminated surfaces to neutralize orders at sources you aren’t even able to see.
  • Sometimes odors can be traveling through the house from a source in your ductwork. Air Duct Cleaning is another important tool in our arsenal for permanent odor removal. This process removes dust, pollutants, and bacterial from your ducts and takes any odors they might cause with them.
  • Mold loves damp conditions. Our powerful commercial-grade Dehumidifiers ruin the environment mold thrives in. For those musty smells, our fleet of dehumidifiers remove moisture once and for all.

Whether you’ve identified the source of your odor problem, or you’re still unsure what’s causing it, your next call should be to the Sams team. We want you to be able to enjoy your home to its fullest. That means having a home that not only smells clean, but is clean. Contact us today to start on your way to a stink-free home!

New Year, New You: Air Duct Cleaning for Your Health

It’s January, so naturally we’re all still on track with our New Year’s Resolutions (at least, for now, and we have good intentions)! Of course the most common New Year’s Resolution is to be healthy. Some examples you might hear, or you might have vowed you would stick to in 2018 are:

  • I’ll go to the gym 4 days a week
  • I’ll eat a salad a day, get my veggies in!
  • I’ll take the steps instead of the elevator and will park in the back of the lot
  • I’ll take care of my health: visit the doctor for regular checkups, take more vitamins, etc.

This year, focus on breathing clean air! You’d be surprised what you can see in your air ducts. When’s the last time you had yours cleaned?

They’re tucked away, it’s not obvious like a stain on your carpet or dog hair on the floor. You don’t often think about your air ducts and what’s going on with them. Your air conditioning and heat are working, so why would it even be a thought it your mind? That’s why we’re here to help you stay healthy and keep these things front and center. It’s important to clean your air ducts at least once a year, so what better time than now, start the year off fresh (and clean)!

You wouldn’t believe how dirty air ducts and dryer vents can get. Not only is air flow restricted when they haven’t been cleaned, but you’re breathing in that dirty, dusty air.

So how do we go about cleaning your air ducts and keeping you healthy? We use a powerful truck-mounted system that cleans out all the junk. A rotating brush scrubs the walls of the ducts, removing any build-up of dust and dust mites that could be making you sick. As it’s removed, the system collects the debris in our van outside, leaving your home clean and uncontaminated. We also offer a cleaning with an Anti-Microbial Disinfectant to inhibit the growth of molds, mildews and other odor causing bacteria, at no additional cost.

Are you ready to take back the health of your home? Give us a call today to schedule an appointment, 636-949-8229.
