Butyric acid attack? We neutralize the smell – permanently
Disgusting, corrosive, unbearable: Butyric acid smells like rancid butter and vomit and makes affected rooms or vehicles practically unusable. For restaurants, shops and companies, a butyric acid attack often means immediate business interruption and significant financial losses.
Akut SOS Clean specializes in the neutralization of butyric acid. We detect every butyric acid spot, neutralize it with biological active ingredients and make your home, business, office or car usable again - around the clock and nationwide.
Frequently asked questions about butyric acid
How long does butyric acid stink?
Without professional treatment, it often lasts for weeks to months. Butyric acid penetrates into cracks, joints, upholstery and porous materials and repeatedly releases gas from there. Only when every single butyric acid spot has been neutralized will the smell disappear permanently.
How dangerous is butyric acid?
Butyric acid is highly corrosive. The vapors irritate the respiratory tract and can cause nausea, vomiting, dizziness and a dry cough. Skin contact can cause irritation or even chemical burns. You should therefore leave affected rooms or vehicles immediately.
Can I remove butyric acid myself?
We advise against this. Butyric acid is water-soluble: If you wipe with water and cleaning products, you spread it over a larger area and make neutralization more difficult. Even air purifiers or fragrance sprays only mask the smell.
Does insurance pay in the event of a butyric acid attack?
That depends on the individual case. Household contents, building or motor vehicle insurance often comes into play if the damage can be proven. We will document the damage for your claim report and, if requested, take care of billing your insurance company.
How quickly can you get there?
We are available around the clock, including nights and public holidays. The earlier we intervene, the less deeply the acid is absorbed and the faster and cheaper the neutralization is.
Do you also neutralize butyric acid in the car?
Yes. We treat interiors of homes, offices, shops and restaurants as well as vehicles and outdoor surfaces.
