Steamy’s Cleaning and Restoration Services has acquired a hydroxyl generating air purifier, the Odorox BOSS XL3, a patented device that eliminates bad odours and airborne contaminants from indoor environments. If you have had the unfortunate experience of damage to your home or business from fire, flooding or other natural disasters, you will understand why we are so pleased to offer this new service to our customers.

Hydroxyl generators can be used to treat airborne contaminants including bacteria, mould, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and odourless gasses. Although we offer several types of effective odour remediation, the Odorox purifier offers additional benefits that systems such as ozone remediation cannot provide. The Odorox purifier does not produce gasses or chemical reactions that will harm you or your property. The molecules penetrate porous surfaces such as fabric, wood and upholstery, neutralising odours.

The Odorox air purifier uses hydroxyls to clean the air, just the way nature does. If you remember high school chemistry, water, or H2O, contains two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. When ultraviolet (UV) light from the sun hits water vapour, a chemical reaction occurs. One hydrogen atom is released from the water molecule, leaving the remaining hydrogen attached to the oxygen. This molecule, called a hydroxyl, OH, is unstable, with a free electron. The molecule becomes stable by forming a chemical bond with another atom. This happens automatically and naturally outdoors, but does not happen naturally indoors.

ODOROX Hydroxyl Generators replicate this natural processODOROX implements a dual process attack on contaminants.

The Odorox Hydroxyl Generator creates three types of UV light within the machine. As air is blown in, these rays interact with the humidity in the air to create hydroxyls. The contaminants bond to the hydroxyl molecules. This happens naturally and does not create toxins or chemical reactions. The pollutants are neutralized.

This generator can be set up on your site to remove airborne contaminants, mould, smoke and bad odours. The amount of time of remediation required depends on the type and extent of damage and the extent of the area to be treated. We use air movers and air injectors to increase and direct air flow through the generator. We will be glad to provide an assessment for remediation at your site.
