🎓 Certified OCT Odor Control Technicians

Detroit homes deal with some of the toughest odor problems in the country — long winters, older basements, decades of nicotine buildup, pet-heavy rentals, and properties left vacant during transitions. That’s why we don’t rely on “spray-and-pray” methods like most cleanup crews.

Our team is fully certified as OCT (Odor Control Technicians) through the IICRC — the same third-party standard most restoration companies use for their odor training.

The difference? We combine that training with real hazmat credentials, industrial chemistry, and federal compliance — something standard restoration companies simply don’t have.

Whether it’s pet urine, feces, nicotine, decomposition, sewage, or multi-year neglect, we don’t mask smells — we eliminate them at the chemical and microbial level.

🚛 CDL + HME Certified for Real Hazards

In Detroit, anybody can throw a magnet on a pickup and call themselves a “cleanup company.”

We show up with actual federal credentials — Commercial Driver’s Licenses with Hazmat Endorsements — meaning we can legally transport contaminated materials, medical waste, and severe odor sources off your property without putting you at risk.

Detroiters don’t play with fines, lawsuits, or shady companies. Neither do we.

🛡️ Fully Licensed with US DOT & MC Authority

Most companies in Metro Detroit who “clean up” biologically contaminated or odor-ridden spaces aren’t even legally allowed to transport what they remove.

We are fully registered with the U.S. Department of Transportation and have Motor Carrier Authority to move DOT 6.1 hazardous materials.

No illegal hauling. No shortcuts. No putting your property or business at risk.

🏠 Built in Detroit. Held to a Higher Standard.

We’re not outsiders or franchise kids — we’re Detroit born and Detroit built. We know the older housing stock, the lingering basement and attic odors, the pet smells, the furnace-room funk, the abandoned-home stench, and the unique challenges that come with older Detroit homes and commercial buildings.

We bring national-level compliance and documentation with a blue-collar Detroit work ethic. You get the best of both worlds — without franchise scams or cut-corner pricing.

⚠️ OSHA, EPA & EGLE-Compliant — Every Single Time

Detroit homeowners and property managers appreciate one thing: doing things the right way. Our certified hazmat techs follow OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens rules, EPA and RCRA regulations, EGLE waste laws, and DOT transport standards without exception.

Whether we’re removing odor-soaked carpet, nicotine contamination, animal waste, sewage backups, or decomposition odors — everything is cleaned, packaged, and disposed of legally.

💰 How much does odor removal cost in Detroit?

Odor removal pricing in Detroit can vary based on factors like square footage, source (urine, feces, nicotine, etc.), and how deep the odor has penetrated materials like wood or drywall. Because no two jobs are the same, we always provide a 100% free in-person inspection first. One of our certified technicians will assess the site, identify hidden odor sources, and give you a quote before any work begins — with zero obligation or pressure.

⏱️ How long does odor cleanup take?

In most cases, we can completely eliminate severe odors in under 24 hours. This includes treatments for pet urine, feces, decomposition, hoarding, or nicotine contamination. For larger jobs or properties with structural damage, cleanup may take longer — but that’s rare. Everything is explained in detail during our free inspection, so there are never any surprises.

🎖️ Do you offer discounts for military or first responders?

Yes. We proudly support our Detroit-area heroes with a 5% discount for:

• Active law enforcement officers
• Fire/EMS professionals
• Veterans and active-duty military personnel

Discounts must be claimed before the service begins by providing valid ID.

🏚️ Can you remove odors from abandoned or neglected Detroit homes?

Absolutely. Many Detroit homes suffer from long-term odor exposure due to hoarding, pet infestations, unreported deaths, sewage backups, or vacancy neglect. We specialize in deep, industrial odor removal for properties that others won’t touch — including red-tagged homes, estate situations, and severe hoarding scenarios.

🧼 Do you provide other cleanup services beyond odor removal?

Yes — HazWash™ offers a full suite of biohazard, trauma, and extreme cleaning services across Detroit and Southeast Michigan. These include:

• Unattended death & decomposition cleanup
• Rodent droppings and urine cleanup
• Suicide and homicide scene remediation
• Feces and bodily fluid cleanup

Each service is handled by trained hazmat techs who follow OSHA, EPA, and EGLE guidelines.
