Odor Reduction

Well-being without unpleasant smell

Molecular Magic – How unpleasant smell is eliminated

 

Unpleasant odors can disrupt operations, impair well-being, and damage reputation – whether in commercial kitchens, industrial facilities, or other environments. Targeted short-wave UV radiation transforms oxygen molecules into highly reactive radicals. These break down odor molecules and neutralize them effectively. The result is noticeably fresher air, less stress for residents and employees, and a clear benefit for the environment and overall quality of life.

 

Empowering clean environments – with ozone solutions.

Reliable Odor Neutralization for Indoor Spaces

Unpleasant odors can be stubborn and hard to eliminate. Ozone offers an effective and proven solution: as a powerful oxidizing agent, it breaks down odor-causing molecules such as ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, and other organic compounds – while also inactivating germs and bacteria.

With an ozone purifier, you can reliably remove bad smells and restore fresh, clean air in any enclosed space.

Because ozone treatment works without additional chemicals, it is an eco-friendly and sustainable method of odor neutralization – safe for your facility, your staff, and the environment.

Any Questions?

What is ozone and how does it occur naturally?

Ozone (O₃) is a natural gas that forms when three oxygen atoms combine. This process happens in nature, for example after thunderstorms, when lightning transforms oxygen (O₂) in the air into ozone.

In everyday life, this natural phenomenon is used in ozone purifiers: the same principle is applied in a controlled way to neutralize odors and improve air quality indoors.

How does odor removal with ozone work?

Ozone odor removal works by releasing ozone (O₃) into the air, where it breaks down the organic molecules responsible for bad smells. As a powerful oxidizing agent, ozone destroys these compounds by splitting their chemical bonds.

In enclosed spaces such as cars, hotel rooms, or apartments, ozone generators convert oxygen into ozone using electrical discharges. Once the ozone concentration reaches an effective level, it neutralizes unpleasant odors, bacteria, and mold spores.

Your benefit: You get fresh, clean air without masking scents or chemical residues.

Where is ozone odor control used?

Ozone odor removal is applied wherever unwanted smells need to be permanently eliminated. Typical industries and areas of use include:

  • Automotive: Removes stubborn odors from used cars before resale.

  • Hospitality: Quickly refreshes guest rooms between stays when ventilation or sprays are not enough.

  • Property management: Restores apartments and homes before handover to new tenants or buyers.

  • Fire & water damage: Eliminates strong odors caused by smoke or dampness.

  • Food industry: Keeps production halls, storage areas, vehicles, and equipment odor-free.

  • Medical facilities: Used in hospitals and practices to remove odors and germs.

  • Sports & leisure: Improves air quality in gyms, pools, and wellness areas.

…and many more. Depending on your needs, Hoenle can help you define the right ozone solution.

What are the advantages of ozone over other odor control methods?

  1. Fast results: Eliminates unwanted odors in a short time.

  2. Highly effective: Ozone is one of the strongest oxidizing agents, capable of removing even persistent odors.

  3. Eco-friendly: Naturally occurring and biodegradable, ozone leaves no chemical residues.

  4. True elimination, not masking: Unlike perfumes or sprays, ozone neutralizes odors at the source.

  5. Versatile use: Suitable for homes, cars, industry, food handling, and medical settings.

  6. Additional disinfection: Ozone also kills germs and viruses in certain applications.

Your benefit: With ozone, you don’t just cover up smells—you eliminate them effectively and sustainably.

What safety precautions must be taken when using ozone?

Ozone is highly effective, but it must be used responsibly. To ensure safe operation:

  1. Use only certified ozone generators that meet safety standards. Hoenle devices are compliant by design.

  2. Apply ozone only in unoccupied rooms – high concentrations can be harmful to people and animals.

  3. Always ventilate thoroughly after treatment before re-entering the space.

  4. Keep children and pets away during use.

  5. Avoid use near flames, ignition sources, or highly flammable objects.

  6. People with respiratory sensitivities should avoid direct exposure.

  7. Monitor ozone concentration to ensure it stays within safe limits.

Your benefit: With the right safety measures, ozone odor removal is both safe and highly effective.

What are the costs of ozone odor removal?

The cost depends on factors such as room size, odor intensity, and the number of treatments required. Prices also vary based on the type and performance of the ozone generator.

  • Purchase costs: From a few hundred euros up to around a thousand, depending on device size and features.

  • Operating costs: Electricity and minor maintenance.

Tip: Talk to a Hoenle expert to find the best device for your needs – ensuring optimal results while staying within budget.

How long does ozone odor removal take?

Duration depends on the type of odor, the size of the area, and the intensity of the smell:

  • Typical rooms: A few hours to a couple of days.

  • Larger spaces or stubborn odors: May take longer.

Recommendation: Always consult an expert to determine the safest and most efficient treatment duration for your specific case.

Are there special requirements for using ozone in enclosed spaces?

Yes, ozone must be applied carefully indoors:

  • Ventilation: Ensure good airflow so that ozone levels remain safe.

  • Monitoring: Track ozone concentration during use to avoid excess levels.

  • Unoccupied rooms only: People and pets should never be present during treatment.

  • Post-treatment ventilation: Always air out the room until ozone levels return to safe values before entering.

Your benefit: By following simple safety guidelines, you can enjoy powerful odor elimination without risk.
