Identifying and Locating Odors
Identifying and locating odors is a crucial step in the odor removal process. These steps help determine the source of the odor and develop an effective plan to eliminate it.
Visual Inspection
A thorough visual inspection of the area may reveal potential sources of odors. Look for signs of mold or mildew, spills, or decaying organic matter.
