What is ozone deodorizing?
Ozone is an unstable bluish gas.  It is a very good deodorizer.  Areas being treated must be evacuated until the process is finished.

What is thermal fogging deodorization?
This method is also a very good deodorizer.  The deodorizer is turned into gas (fog), which follows all the same routes the smoke went.  Evacuation only lasts a few hours when thermal fogging.

What do I do with my clothes?
Any clothing you need immediately will be deodorized, cleaned and returned in 24 to 48 hours.
