Cigar smoke doesn’t just vanish with a button press. Even the most advanced mechanical systems will accumulate residues like:

  • Tar and carbon particles inside ductwork

  • Degraded odor control filters (especially activated carbon)

  • Microbial growth in unmaintained or humid components

These byproducts can not only diminish performance over time but begin to emit their own smells—undermining the very containment that clients paid for.


What Green Fox Provides

Our job is to keep the system clean and functioning properly, and to extend the lifespan of the mechanical components. Our post-installation support includes:

  • Routine Duct System Inspection & Cleaning
    Checking for microbial buildup, debris, or smoke film inside ducts and exhaust pathways.

  • Filter Replacement & Performance Review
    Replacing MERV and carbon filters on a biannual or quarterly basis depending on usage.

  • Ozone Deodorization Treatments
    Carefully applied ozone treatment for deep odor neutralization (in unoccupied rooms).

  • Mechanical System Review & Collaboration with Installer
    If operational issues are found, we coordinate with Southern Mechanical Services or your HVAC contractor to ensure corrective steps are taken.

Team Coordination Makes These Rooms Work

Luxury lounges function well when they’re supported by a team of professionals:

  • Southern Mechanical Services handles initial buildouts, installing pressure-managed filtration systems and isolated cooling units.

  • BMC Consulting brings in engineering expertise for code compliance, static pressure modeling, and complex permit sets.

  • Full Spectrum Environmental performs post-installation air testing, including checks for soot migration and particulate spread outside the lounge.

Protecting the System—and the Investment

For homeowners who’ve spent significant time and money perfecting their indoor lounge, routine maintenance isn’t optional—it’s essential. Neglecting filter changes or allowing microbial buildup inside ductwork can result in:

  • Poor smoke containment

  • Visible residue near vents

  • Odor migration into adjacent spaces

  • Long-term damage to system components

We’re not just duct cleaners. We’re indoor air quality professionals who understand the precision these spaces require.


Elevate the Ritual, Maintain the Environment

A private cigar lounge is more than a place to smoke—it’s a controlled air environment built for a specific purpose. With Green Fox’s maintenance and deodorization services, you’ll preserve the clean, luxurious atmosphere your system was designed to provide.
