Why Odor-Free Spaces Matter in Hospitality and Rentals

In the $660 billion global hospitality industry, maintaining spotless and fresh-smelling spaces isn't just about cleanliness—it's a standard that defines guest satisfaction. A study by TripAdvisor revealed that 72% of guests base reviews on cleanliness, and odor-free rooms are a non-negotiable part of this experience.

Odor is the first thing your guests notice when they step into a room—make it a lasting impression of freshness. Lingering smoke or other unpleasant smells can ruin the guest experience, leading to negative reviews and lost revenue. This guide will show you how to tackle smoke odors effectively and create a welcoming environment for your guests.

How Do Odors Occur?

Odors are caused by volatile organic compounds (VOCs)—tiny airborne molecules that stimulate sensory cells in the nose, creating unpleasant smells. In hospitality settings, these processes create odors:

  • Combustion Reactions: Organic material like tobacco or wood burns, releasing VOCs that embed deeply into surfaces.
  • Absorption in Soft Materials: Textiles such as carpets, curtains, and upholstery trap odor molecules, creating persistent smells.
  • Chemical Reactions in the Air: VOCs interact with oxygen and moisture, intensifying odors over time.
  • Breakdown of Organic Matter: Spoiling food and mold release sulfur-based compounds and ammonia.
  • Humidity and Heat Amplification: High humidity and temperature increase the volatility of odor molecules.

How to Remove Smoke Smell from Furniture Effectively

  1. Vacuum Thoroughly: Use a vacuum with a HEPA filter to remove surface particles and embedded odor-causing agents.
  2. Steam Clean: Apply steam to penetrate fabrics and kill odor molecules at their source.
  3. Use Fruxe Professional: Spray directly onto upholstery, cushions, and wooden surfaces to neutralize odors effectively.
  4. Air Out the Furniture: Place pieces in a well-ventilated area or use fans to help remove trapped smells.
