Room Odor Removal - Treatment

The OdorFree ozone generator will eliminate room odors at the source.

Room smells develop in hotels, dormitories, homes, offices and other interior spaces from moisture, body odors, food, beverages, pets and the occasional smoker. Fumes and odors get embedded in the carpet, the furniture, the drapes and bedding, as well as the bathroom, and can also the cling to walls, ceilings and other surfaces.

Even after the room is prepared, odors may return because all surfaces are not part of the general protocol. Ozone is very effective because it attacks them at their source. As the O3 is circulated throughout the room or facility, it oxidizes the odors on all surfaces. Ozone is a very active molecule that will follow the same path that the odors took to eliminate room odors, even down into cracks and crevices.

Cigarette smoke can be a difficult pollutant to remove because there are different components to the smoke.

The first component of smoking is that cigarettes produce many toxic and irritating gases such as carbon monoxide, phenol, and ammonia gases. The second component of the smoke odor is the high level of tar vapors released into the air as cigarettes are smoked. These smelly tar vapors become sticky when they contact surfaces. They travel everywhere in the facility that smoke or air can flow into, including inside air vents, on walls and ceilings, on furniture, and even inside closets and cabinets. To totally eliminate cigarette smoke odor, you need something that will follow the same path as the tobacco vapors and oxidize the odors away. The OdorFree ozone generator is a cigarette odor eliminator.

The OdorFree is extremely effective on smoke because the ozone (O3) attacks odors at their source. As the O3 is circulated throughout the room or facility, it oxidizes the fumes and the residue adhering to various surfaces. The ozone will go wherever air will flow and follow the same path that cigarette smoke took when contacting those surfaces, and even flows into vents, cracks and crevices to permanently remove cigarette odor.

Solution: To remove room smells, an OdorFree is brought into the room and plugged in. Open any closets and cabinets. Set the treatment time depending on the severity of the odors. The doors are then closed and the area vacated for treatment. Allow the O3 to dissipate for at least an hour prior to re-occupying the space.

Note: Many rooms have their own separate A/C unit. However, if there is central system with a return vent in the room, it is best to tape the return duct closed with plastic or paper, and and also close the supply vents. This will keep the O3 inside the room to do its work and not let it be circulated into other rooms.

When the next occupant enters the room, there is no trace of an odor from the previous occupant. And there is no residual smell from deodorizers that try to mask odors, which many people find objectionable. The new occupant will enjoy a fresh smelling room, and this has a great impact on how they feel about the facility.
