It does when the source is removed. Smells from sewage, fluids or decay live in porous materials and subfloors, so crews take those out and treat the air. Air fresheners cover a smell for only a short time.
Sometimes, but often not. Porous materials soak up fluids, and germs can remain deep inside where disinfectant cannot reach. The team looks at each item and explains which can be saved. Items that cannot be cleaned are removed, sealed and hauled away.
Disinfectant does not work well on dirty surfaces, because residue can shield germs from the product. Crews remove visible material, clean every surface with detergent and then apply disinfectant for the contact time on its label. Skipping the cleaning step is a common reason a job fails.
