When a Regular Clean Isn't Enough

Cigarette smoke, cooking smells, pet accidents and mould don’t just sit on the surface of your carpet or furniture. They work their way into fibres, underlay, walls and even ceilings, which is why air fresheners and a standard vacuum rarely solve the problem for long.

Crystal Clean Carpet & Tiles treats the odour at its source across Melbourne homes and businesses, rather than covering it up.

How We Remove Odour From Your Home

Odour removal is one of our more involved services, because the smell is usually embedded in more than one surface at once.

Inspect the affected area

We assess the type and severity of the odour, whether it's cigarette smoke, cooking smells, pet odours or mould, and identify every affected surface, including carpets, upholstery, curtains, walls, ceilings and other porous materials.

Prepare the area

We protect floors and furniture, install corner protectors where equipment may contact walls, cover sensitive items if required, and ensure adequate ventilation throughout the job.

Apply odour treatment

A high concentration cleaning solution is applied with specialised sponges to remove odour-causing residues from walls, ceilings, fixtures and fittings, flooring, upholstery and other absorbent materials, and left to dwell so it can break down trapped odours at the source.

Agitate, if required

Surfaces are gently agitated where appropriate to improve product penetration and effectiveness.

Fogging treatment

A fogger device turns liquid deodoriser into a fine mist, reaching into cracks, crevices and porous surfaces that a spray or wipe simply cannot get into, neutralising odour in the air itself as well as in the materials around it.

Hot water extraction

Depending on what's affected, be it carpet, rugs, upholstery or tile and grout, we use a truckmounted or portable system to remove embedded dirt, residues, allergens, odours and cleaning solution.

Dry the area

Air movers and ventilation are used where required to speed up drying and improve air circulation.

Final inspection

We check the completed work and, where relevant, let you know if a severe, long-term or deeply absorbed odour may need additional treatments, sealing, or replacement of affected materials for full removal.

See the Difference for Yourself

What Causes Persistent Odour in a Home?

Odour usually lingers because it has soaked into something porous rather than sitting on a hard, sealed surface. Cigarette smoke settles into curtains, walls and ceilings as well as carpet. Pet accidents can soak through carpet into the underlay beneath it. Mould odour often points to a moisture source that needs addressing, not just a smell to be cleaned away. Identifying exactly what’s holding the odour is the first and most important step in actually solving it.

Can You Fully Remove Pet Odour From Carpet?

In most cases, yes, particularly when treated before it has had years to set in. Our process combines targeted odour treatment with fogging and hot water extraction to reach both the surface and what’s trapped underneath. If the odour is paired with a visible stain, our spot and stain removal service can be carried out alongside the odour treatment for a more complete result.

Will Odour Removal Work on Mould Smells?

Odour treatment can neutralise the smell associated with mould, but if there’s an ongoing moisture source, such as a leak or poor ventilation, the odour is likely to return unless that underlying cause is also addressed. Our technician will let you know during inspection if what you’re smelling points to a bigger issue than surface odour alone.

What Products Do We Use for Odour Treatment?

We use biodegradable, non-toxic solutions during odour treatment, so nothing harmful is left behind in your home once the smell is gone. As with every service we offer, we use premium-grade products rather than cheaper alternatives, because odour treatment in particular relies on the solution actually breaking down the source, not just masking it temporarily.

Why Choose Crystal Clean Carpet & Tiles for Odour Removal?

Getting to the real cause of a problem rather than covering it up is part of how Serage Fikak built this business from 2007 onward, and it matters even more with odour, where a quick mask-over rarely lasts.

Our technicians hold Certificate III in Asset Maintenance (Carpet Cleaning), code PRM30604, through Jena Dyco International. We carry $20,000,000 in public liability insurance through Allianz, and were awarded the Word of Mouth Service Award every year from 2014 to 2018.

How Much Does Odour Removal Cost in Melbourne?

Odour removal costs depend on how many rooms or surfaces are affected, the type and severity of the odour, and whether fogging alone is enough or a fuller hot water extraction is also needed. Smoke damage across a whole home is a different job to a single pet stain in one room, so we assess before quoting, no obligation, no guesswork.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take for odour to fully clear after treatment?

Most odour noticeably improves straight after treatment, though very deep or long-standing smells can take a little longer to fully dissipate as materials finish drying. Our technician will give you a realistic expectation based on what we find during inspection.

Do you treat odour in curtains and soft furnishings, or only carpet?

Yes. Our process covers any affected absorbent surface, including curtains, upholstery and soft furnishings, not just carpet and flooring.

Is the fogging treatment safe for my family and pets?

Yes, we use biodegradable, non-toxic products during fogging. We’ll also let you know if it’s best to ventilate the space for a short period after treatment.

Can severe odour ever be permanent, even after treatment?

In rare cases, yes. Deeply absorbed odour in materials like underlay, plaster or timber can sometimes remain even after treatment, particularly if the source was long-standing. Where this applies, our technician will explain it clearly during the final inspection rather than after the job is done.

Do you offer a guarantee on odour removal?

Yes, our odour removal work is backed by our 100% Satisfaction Guarantee
