Hotel business is primarily about guest impressions. The smell of a smoked room, mustiness, foreign odors can ruin the impression of even the most luxurious hotel. Ozonation solves this problem radically — not masking odors, but destroying them at the molecular level.
In addition to eliminating odors, ozone disinfects all room surfaces: mattresses, pillows, curtains, carpets, upholstered furniture. The gas penetrates the material structure, destroying bacteria, viruses, dust mites and mold spores.
Problems solved by ozonation
- Tobacco and hookah odor — complete removal, not masking
- Mustiness and dampness — especially relevant for rooms without natural ventilation
- Sweat and perfume odors from previous guests
- Culinary aromas from room service
- Pet odors (pet-friendly hotels)
- Bacteria and viruses on contact surfaces
- Dust mites in textiles — allergy prevention
Room ozonation process
Standard cleaning
Room undergoes regular cleaning: changing linens, wiping surfaces, vacuuming.
Ozonator installation
Portable ozonator is placed at maximum height (on wardrobe, shelf). Windows and doors are closed.
Ozonation
Treatment starts. Standard mode: 30-60 minutes at 1 g/h per 25 m³ capacity.
Ventilation
After treatment — 20-30 minutes ventilation. Ozone decomposes to oxygen, leaving a fresh feeling.
| Situation | Concentration | Time | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard treatment | 5-10 mg/m³ | 30 min | Freshening, light disinfection |
| After smoker | 15-20 mg/m³ | 60-90 min | Complete odor removal |
| Heavy contamination | 20-30 mg/m³ | 2-3 hours | Deep deodorization |
| After infectious guest | 25-35 mg/m³ | 2-4 hours | Complete disinfection |
What is treated with ozone
Ozone, being a gas, penetrates all places inaccessible to traditional cleaning:
Textiles
Mattresses, pillows, blankets, curtains, furniture upholstery, carpets
Furniture
Internal cavities of wardrobes, crevices, decorative elements, armrests
Ventilation
Air ducts, grilles, air conditioning system — source of odors and bacteria
Bathroom
Tiles, grout, plumbing — places where bacteria and mold accumulate
Benefits for hotels
- Higher ratings on Booking, TripAdvisor — reviews about cleanliness and freshness
- Reduced guest complaints about odors — especially in smoking rooms
- Prevention of infection transmission between guests
- Ability to quickly turn over rooms — treatment during time between check-out and check-in
- Reduced costs for air fresheners and fragrances
- Extended textile lifespan — odor removal without dry cleaning
Equipment for hotels
For hotels, portable ozonators are recommended, which staff move from room to room after cleaning. This is the optimal solution in terms of price/effectiveness ratio.
| Hotel type | Recommended equipment | Quantity |
|---|---|---|
| Mini-hotel (up to 20 rooms) | Portable ozonator 5-10 g/h | 1-2 units |
| Medium hotel (20-100 rooms) | Portable ozonators 10-20 g/h | 3-5 units |
| Large hotel (100+ rooms) | Ozonator fleet + stationary units in common areas | As calculated |
