In a hotel the treatment has to fit the room rotation — between one guest checking out and the next arriving.
In a hotel the time window is short and fixed: between one guest checking out and the next arriving. So the choice of method is governed by how quickly the room is usable again.
In practice that means we use ozone treatment more often — it treats the air, the textiles and the soft furnishings at the same time, and after airing the room is ready.
The second thing that sets hotels apart is that the problem is usually a reputation question rather than a hygiene one. A smell in a room is one of the commonest themes in negative reviews, and it affects a business far more directly than anything visible. So the order often comes not from a plan but after a specific complaint — and then the question is how quickly the room can go back on sale.
What holds a room's smell is usually not the air but the mattress, the curtains and the carpet — and those cannot be washed after every guest.
What accumulates the smell in a room is exactly what cannot be washed after every guest:
| Item | What ozone treatment does |
|---|---|
| Mattress | Treats the filling, which cannot be washed |
| Curtains | Clears accumulated smells |
| Soft furnishings | Treats the filling |
| Carpet | Clears smells that have soaked in |
| Wardrobes and drawers | Treats enclosed spaces |
| Ventilation | Treats the accessible part of the duct |
That is why ordinary housekeeping does not remove the smell — it cleans surfaces but does not touch what has built up in the mattress, the curtains and the soft furnishings.
There are three common sources of smell in rooms. Tobacco smoke, which soaks into everything porous — that is the hardest one, and the smell comes back from curtains and carpet weeks later if only the room air was treated. Animals, if the hotel takes them — there the source is usually the carpet and the underside of the soft furnishings. And a damp smell in the bathroom, coming from weak extraction or a dried-out gully trap; the latter is something you can settle without us, by running water.
In practice the work is planned room by room and in sequence: we treat one while the rest operate normally. A room is off sale during treatment and airing, and it is precisely that period you need to know in advance in order to block it in the booking system.
Before treatment the room must be left empty — no people, animals or plants. Minibar contents and open food are removed. If the room has a smoke detector or an alarm that might react, we agree it with the technical team beforehand.
The type of site changes the work in hotels too.
Rooms are ordered more often, but the overall impression of a hotel is frequently set by the communal parts. The lobby, the lifts, the corridors and the breakfast room are where a guest arrives first, and a smell or stale air there is noticed immediately. On top of that are the staff rooms, changing rooms and the laundry, which are left out of almost every order, even though the laundry is where humidity is highest.
If the hotel has a gym, a sauna or a pool area, that is a separate subject with its own particulars — wet zones, changing rooms and showers. More on that: gym disinfection.
We settle which rooms and in what order.

The room is ready for the next guest.
The client in a hotel is usually the front-office or housekeeping manager, less often the owner. What gets agreed is normally a list of rooms and an order of work rather than a floor area, and that is exactly why we say in advance how long each room will be off sale.
What most often goes wrong in hotels: the room is treated but the carpet and the curtains stay as they were, and the smell is back within a week; the treatment is scheduled with no airing time and the room is not free in time; or a single room is treated when the source is in the corridor or the ventilation, affecting the whole floor. So if complaints recur in several adjacent rooms, we inspect the floor, not the room.
We do not launder textiles, dry-clean or carry out carpet extraction — we treat, we do not wash. We do not do daily housekeeping or room turnaround; the hotel's staff do that. We do not clean the full ventilation system throughout the building. And if a mattress or a carpet is damaged and the smell has soaked deep into the material, we say honestly that treatment will give a limited result and that replacing it is cheaper.
Ozone treatment €1.20/m², minimum €60. If several rooms are treated in one visit, we prepare a quote with a volume discount.
Treatment plus airing usually takes a few hours. We give you the exact time so it can be blocked in the rotation.
Yes, it is more efficient. We work room by room in sequence without disrupting the rest of the hotel.
Yes — the lobby, corridors, breakfast room and staff rooms. They often matter a great deal to the overall impression.
