Ozone Clean’s innovative technology enables the swift and effective removal of odours in rooms of leading hotel groups including Crowne Plaza, Hyatt and Marriott, leading to speedy turnaround times.
Established in 2005, Ozone Clean pioneered the concept of using ozone to sanitize rooms and larger furnished spaces with a range of odour destruction products. Ozone is activated oxygen, a normal occurrence in the environment that works as a natural cleaner. When it comes into contact with an odour (a volatile organic compound), a chemical reaction takes place and the smell oxidises into a harmless, non-odourous substance.
Unlike air fresheners, ozone permanently removes unpleasant smells caused by damp, food preparation, vomit and smoking in furnishings and fabrics. It also works as a natural sanitizing agent, killing most bacteria, pathogens and viruses including E-Coli and MRSA, leaving treated areas hygienically clean as well as smelling fresh.
Typically, housekeepers had to rely on a mix of chemical cleaners and equipment such as chemical defogging and carpet cleaning machines. Ozone Clean’s equipment eliminates the need for deep cleaning rooms, enabling much faster turnaround times, overall cost savings and substantially increased efficiency of the hotel’s cleaning staff. Rooms are brought back into service in fifteen minutes.
Many environmental benefits can be gained with Ozone Clean including reducing the usage of air fresheners and the need to specialist clean curtains alongside removing the need for steam cleaners and shampoo machines.
“We now utilise Ozone Clean equipment in most of our hotels across the UK and we’re really impressed,” says Maria Fernandez, Operations Manager at Holiday Inn Express London City (IHG). “They have significantly increased turnaround times and we’ve also noticed the long-term cost benefit as there has been a significant saving in deep cleaning costs.”
“Our clients are noticing a huge reduction in out-of-service times with rooms being returned for bookings at a much faster rate,” says Ozone Clean’s MD Mark Powell. “An increase in guest satisfaction and consequent reduction in guest refunds is also evident.”
