Marijuana smell can linger in homes, rentals, and Airbnb properties long after smoking has stopped. This persistent odor often frustrates homeowners and property managers who want to maintain a fresh, clean environment. The challenge lies in the fact that marijuana smoke clings to surfaces and fabrics, making simple cleaning or airing out ineffective. Fortunately, MyPureZone offers a professional 3-step system designed specifically to eliminate marijuana smell completely, restoring your space to a neutral, odor-free state.

Why Marijuana Smell Lingers in Your Home


Marijuana smoke contains sticky particles and oils that settle deep into porous materials such as carpets, curtains, upholstery, drywall, and even HVAC systems. These particles release a strong, recognizable odor that can last for weeks or months if not treated properly. Simply opening windows or using air fresheners only masks the smell temporarily without addressing the source.


The smell is especially problematic in rental properties or Airbnb units where turnover is frequent. Guests or tenants who smoke indoors leave behind odors that can affect future occupants’ comfort and satisfaction. This can lead to negative reviews, complaints, or even loss of rental income.


The MyPureZone 3-Step System for Marijuana Smell Removal


MyPureZone’s approach uses a combination of advanced treatments to break down and neutralize marijuana odor at its source. The system includes:


1. ULV Fogging


ULV (Ultra Low Volume) fogging disperses a fine mist of odor-neutralizing agents throughout the space. This fog penetrates deep into fabrics, carpets, and hard-to-reach areas where smoke particles hide. The fogging solution chemically bonds with odor molecules, neutralizing them rather than just covering them up.


This step prepares the environment for deeper cleaning by loosening embedded particles and reducing surface odors.



Ozone is a powerful oxidizer that breaks down odor-causing molecules on a molecular level. During ozone treatment, an ozone generator releases ozone gas into the space, which reacts with the smoke particles and eliminates their smell.


Ozone treatment is especially effective for removing odors trapped in walls, ceilings, and HVAC systems. It reaches areas that traditional cleaning cannot, ensuring a thorough deodorization.


3. Thermal Fogging


Thermal fogging uses heated fog to distribute deodorizing agents in a dense, penetrating mist. This fog reaches deep into porous surfaces and hidden spaces, neutralizing any remaining odor molecules.


Thermal fogging complements ULV fogging and ozone treatment by providing a final, intensive layer of odor removal. It ensures that even the most stubborn marijuana smell is eliminated.


Why This System Works Better Than Other Methods


Many homeowners try to remove marijuana smell with DIY methods like vinegar, baking soda, or air fresheners. These approaches only mask the odor temporarily or fail to reach the deeply embedded smoke particles.


The MyPureZone 3-step system works because it:


  • Targets odor molecules directly rather than masking them

  • Penetrates porous materials where smoke particles settle

  • Reaches hidden areas like HVAC ducts and wall cavities

  • Uses professional-grade equipment and solutions not available to consumers


This comprehensive approach results in a truly odor-free environment that lasts.


Practical Benefits for Homeowners and Property Managers


For homeowners, removing marijuana smell means a fresher, more inviting living space. It protects your investment by preventing smoke damage and discoloration. For rental property owners and Airbnb hosts, it means higher guest satisfaction and fewer complaints.


Consider these examples:


  • A Dallas Airbnb host used the 3-step treatment after a guest smoked indoors. The next guests reported no odor, and the host received positive reviews for cleanliness.

  • A homeowner preparing to sell their house had persistent marijuana smell from previous occupants. After treatment, the home smelled fresh, helping it sell faster.

  • A landlord in Fort Worth applied the system between tenants, reducing turnover time and avoiding costly repainting or carpet replacement.


How to Prepare Your Home for Treatment


Before MyPureZone technicians arrive, you can help by:


  • Removing pets and plants from the area

  • Wash, clean or remov all curtains

  • Opening cabinets and closets for better ozone and fog penetration

  • Clearing clutter to allow access to all surfaces

  • Turning off air purifiers or fans that might interfere with treatment


The entire process usually takes a few hours, and the space should be aired out afterward before reoccupying.


Final Thoughts on Marijuana Smell Removal


Persistent marijuana smell can damage your property’s appeal and comfort. Using a professional 3-step system with ULV fogging, ozone treatment, and thermal fogging offers a reliable solution that goes beyond surface cleaning. This method neutralizes odors at their source, leaving your home or rental fresh and odor-free.
