Deodorization equipment varies based on the type of odor and the extent of contamination. Wet foggers, which utilize water-based agents, and dry solvent foggers, which use solvent-based agents, are effective in treating large areas. Vapor diffusers and ozone generators also play significant roles in dispersing deodorizing agents and generating ozone to eliminate odors through oxidation​​.

Hydroxyl Generators are another advanced technology used in odor removal. These devices produce hydroxyl radicals (OH), which are highly reactive molecules that naturally occur in the Earth's atmosphere. Hydroxyl radicals are capable of breaking down and neutralizing a wide range of pollutants, including smoke odors, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and other hazardous substances. Unlike ozone generators, hydroxyl generators are safe to use in occupied spaces, making them an excellent choice for continuous deodorization during the restoration process. The use of hydroxyl generators can significantly improve indoor air quality by effectively removing contaminants without posing health risks to occupants.
