Using Fogger
« on: May 01, 2007, 07:13:18 pm »
I was planning to capitalise on the smoking ban by providing a deodorising service to my local pubs to rid them of the now stale tobacco odours, will this be up to the job?

Hello, does it not look just like a smoke machine ? I use this size machine for cars and a larger fan type machine for buildings

Is a smoke machine different to a fogger? This has a heater and is modified so as not to burn the deodorising fluid. The company advertise that it is capable of being used for rooms and is more powerful than some on the market which are used predominantly for cars.
Has anyone else used this type of fogger for domestic use?

Fogging is only a part of any deodourising process and by itself is unlikely to succeed. As part of a thorough process including cleaning and decontamination it does help. What it does is coats every surface with a fine film of a deodouriser. Again the product used is important as some of the cheap ones are worse than useless. A suitable product by Bridgepoint or Unsmoke is around 30-50 quid and has been developed escpecially for fire and smoke restoration.
The amount of product dispersed by a fog machine to surfaces is minute and has limited use in large areas. If you are going to contemplate tackling odour removal on a large scale such as pubs etc then I suggest you arm yourself with the know how and equipment to at least have a chance of succeeding.
This is the kind of kit you need http://www.jasmic.net/sn50.shtml
