You walk into your space and breathe normally again. No more holding your breath when you open certain doors. No more embarrassment when clients or guests visit. No more wondering if that smell will ever really go away.
The difference between what we do and what you’ve tried before comes down to one thing: we eliminate the source instead of masking it. Pet accidents that soaked through carpet into padding and subfloor. Smoke residue that settled into walls and ventilation systems. Musty odors from moisture problems that keep returning.
When we’re finished, you’re not wondering if the odor will come back when humidity rises or when the air freshener wears off. You’re dealing with spaces that actually smell clean because they are clean.
Team Alpha Cleaning Services is based right here in Barrington, and we understand the specific challenges local property owners face. Older homes with humidity issues. Commercial spaces that need to maintain professional environments. Medical facilities with strict sanitation requirements.
We’re a family-run operation that treats every job like it’s our own property. Our team specializes in the kind of deep cleaning that goes beyond surface-level maintenance. We know the difference between cleaning different types of facilities, and we adjust our approach accordingly.
You’re working with a local company that responds quickly when you need us, not a national chain that treats your situation like just another number.
First, we identify the actual source of the odor, not just where you smell it. Pet urine might have soaked through carpet into padding and subfloor. Smoke residue could be in your HVAC system spreading throughout the building. We use moisture meters and professional assessment tools to locate all affected areas.
Next, we bring professional-grade equipment that most people never see. Thermal foggers, ozone generators, and enzymatic cleaners that break down odor molecules at the molecular level. We don’t use the same approach for every odor because different problems require different solutions.
Then we treat the source directly. For pet odors, we use enzymatic treatments that break down uric acid crystals. For smoke odors, we use specialized deodorizing methods that follow the same penetration patterns as the original contamination. In severe cases, we might need to seal subfloor areas, but we explain exactly what’s needed before we start any work.

Every odor removal service includes a thorough assessment to locate all odor sources, not just the obvious ones. We bring professional extraction units, air movers, and specialized cleaning solutions that aren’t available to consumers. You get targeted treatment for your specific odor problem, whether that’s pet urine reaching deep into subfloors, smoke removal from walls and ventilation systems, or musty smell elimination that addresses underlying moisture issues.
Barrington businesses choose us because we understand local conditions. The humidity challenges that affect older buildings in our area. The types of odor problems that are common in South Jersey. The need for quick response when odor issues affect your professional environment or customer experience.
Our service includes upfront pricing so you can make informed decisions about treatment versus replacement. Most jobs show immediate results, with complete elimination typically taking 24-48 hours depending on severity. We guarantee our work – if treated odors return, we come back at no charge.
Air fresheners and home remedies only mask odors temporarily by covering them up with stronger scents. Professional odor removal actually changes or removes the molecules causing the odor. We use enzymatic treatments that break down organic compounds, thermal fogging that reaches the same areas where odors penetrated, and ozone generators that neutralize odor molecules at the source.
The key difference is permanence. When we treat pet urine, we’re breaking down the uric acid crystals that cause odors to return when they get damp. When we treat smoke odors, we’re removing the particles that have settled into porous surfaces, not just covering them up. Home remedies like baking soda or vinegar can help with surface-level issues, but they can’t reach odors that have penetrated deep into materials.
Yes, because we treat the actual source, not just what you can smell on the surface. Pet urine soaks through carpet into the padding and sometimes the subfloor underneath. Regular cleaning only addresses what you can see on top, which is why the odors keep coming back.
We use moisture meters to locate all affected areas, even dried urine you can’t smell until humidity rises. Our enzymatic treatments are specifically designed to break down the uric acid crystals that cause persistent pet odors. In severe cases where urine has reached the subfloor, we might need to treat or seal those areas, but we’ll explain exactly what’s needed and why before we start any work.
The process typically takes 24-48 hours for complete elimination, depending on how extensive the contamination is. Most clients see immediate improvement, with full results once the treatment process is complete.
Professional odor removal typically costs a fraction of replacement, and you keep your existing materials. Replacing carpet in an average room runs $800-2000 plus the hassle of moving furniture and living with installation disruption. Our odor removal service usually costs significantly less and takes much less time.
Even if you were planning to replace materials anyway, treating odor sources in the subfloor prevents the same problems from affecting your new flooring or furnishings. We provide upfront pricing so you can make an informed decision about whether removal or replacement makes more sense for your specific situation.
The cost comparison becomes even more favorable when you consider that untreated odor problems can devalue properties by as much as 35%. Professional treatment protects your investment while eliminating the problem permanently.
Yes, we guarantee that treated odors will be eliminated or we return to complete additional treatment at no charge. Our guarantee covers the specific odors we treat – if they return, we come back. This guarantee reflects our confidence in our professional-grade equipment and proven treatment methods.
What we can’t guarantee is preventing new odors from occurring, like future pet accidents or new sources of moisture causing musty smells. But for the existing odor problems we treat, you can expect permanent elimination when we follow our complete process.
Most odor removal jobs show immediate results, with complete elimination typically occurring within 24-48 hours. If you’re not satisfied with the results, we’ll return to assess the situation and provide additional treatment until the problem is resolved.
Most odor removal jobs show immediate results, but complete elimination can take 24-48 hours depending on the severity and type of odor. The actual treatment time varies based on the size of the affected area and the specific methods required for your situation.
Simple surface odors might be resolved in a few hours, while deep penetration issues like extensive pet contamination or smoke damage that has reached into HVAC systems can take longer. We’ll give you a realistic timeline during our initial assessment so you know what to expect.
The key difference with professional service is that when we’re done, the odor is actually gone – not just temporarily masked. You won’t be dealing with odors that return when humidity rises or when masking agents wear off.
