1. Office stink removal. If you have clients visiting your offices every so often, you extend the full hospitality that your business has to offer.

Stink removal is as easy as turning on the unit.
2. Garage odor elimination. Do you like to tinker around in the garage? Does it double as your hobby room? If so, there may be strong odors of solvents, glue, and similar substances. Do not allow them to enter the rest of your home! The ozone generator quickly eliminates the lingering smells.
3. Natural air purification. Whether you work in an office, a classroom or a store, some smells simply get too intense over time. When you do not have the luxury of opening the windows, this product allows you to clean the air rather than mask the smells with overpowering scents from a can.

The most effective one is to remove particulates from the environment. Particulate matter can come from a wide variety of sources. Examples include soot from our fireplaces and dust from our HVAC unit’s ductwork. When released into the air, these items can enter into our bodies and cause some very troubling health problems.

For instance, exposure to particulate matter can lead to the development of emphysema and cardiovascular  disease in otherwise healthy individuals. It can also exacerbate existing problems in other individuals. The list of existing problems that can be aggravated by particulates includes, but is not confined to, bronchitis, heart arrhythmia and asthma.

At this point, you may be wondering how to remove particulate matter in the most effective and efficient way. In our experience, the ideal way to take care of that task is to put negative ions to work in your home or office. They will help to remove particulate matter from the air and send it cascading down towards the floor. Once it’s onto the floor, you’ll be able to clean it up with the aid of a powerful, HEPA filter vacuum.

To fully utilize the power of negative ions, we’d suggest investing in an ozone generator. They are designed to purify the air with the aid of ozone and negative ions. We have various units in stock. So there is no doubt that we’ll have an ozone generator on hand that’s capable of improving the air quality in your home or business.

Many of the unpleasant odors found in your home are actually due to the presence of bacteria or fungi. These unwanted invaders are found in dark, moist recesses such as basements and bathrooms where they wreak havoc on your senses. Many people try to clean with harsh chemicals such as bleach or over-the-counter cleaners, but these just serve to mask the smells. Ozone goes right to the source of the problem by killing bacteria and eliminating the cause immediately.

How Does Ozone Work?

Bacteria are comprised of cells with a cell membrane that is essential to life. Ozone, which is made of three oxygen molecules as opposed to the two molecules in the oxygen we breathe, attacks the cell membrane of bacteria creating a hole in it. The membrane is bombarded repeatedly by the ozone, and it loses its ability to maintain its shape and to contain its internal structures. This leads to cell death within seconds.

Why Should You Use Ozone Products?

Ozone products and technologies are the most powerful oxidizers and disinfectants that are on the market and are reasonably priced. No other commercial disinfectant has the killing power that ozone has. It will eliminate all odors due to bacteria or fungi whether you need it in your basement, kitchen, bathroom, or the whole house. It is especially helpful in multiple-pet households where trapped odors can be a problem.

The QT Tornado is a powerful electronic deodorizer. Rather than attempting to mask offensive odors in your properties with scent heaters or room sprays, these machines quickly eliminate even the most pervasive smells.

Room Sprays vs. the QT Tornado

A room spray is little more than a bottle filled with an artificial scent. When activated, it will release a cloud of the scent into the air. In so doing, the smell – potpourri, vanilla or other aromas – attempts to mask the odors that are already in the air. As anyone who has ever tried to cover up the smell of garbage or boiling cabbage can tell you, some scent combinations are worse than the actual offending odor.

The QT Tornado does not artificially attempt to put a fresh smell into the air. Rather, it releases between 190mg and 625mg of ozone per hour. It treats 4,000 square feet with ease. With a five-year warranty and a variety of convenient timer settings, this machine uses the ozone to react with the smelly contaminants directly. Instead of temporarily covering up a smell, the ozone attacks it at its source on a molecular level. The result is truly fresh air.

Why Landlords Need this Machine

If you have one or more machines – depending on the size of your apartment building – on standby, it is easy to freshen the air in your building.

1. Garbage cans. When you only have one weekly trash pick-up, garbage cans stored near the building quickly infuse hallways and stairwells with rotting smells. The QT Tornado undoes the damage.
2. Food odors. While your tenants may enjoy the smell of fried fish, boiling cabbage and similar dishes, prospective renters do not. Always have a fresh air smell in your building no matter what folks are cooking.
3. Renovating smells. These are the odors associated with paint fumes and adhesive smells. In addition to being unpleasant, they can also cause more sensitive tenants to suffer from headaches and nausea. Prevent your tenants from suffering by eliminating the smells – and helping paints to cure faster! – with ozone.
4. Smoking. When you allow tenants to smoke in your building, some areas may smell strongly of cigarette, cigar or pipe smoke. Those living right next to a heavy smoker may complain of the constant smoke odor in the hallways. Prevent these complaints by eliminating the odor smell without bothering the smoker or the non-smokers.

It is evident that the Queenaire QT Tornado Ozone Generator is far more effective and much healthier than any scent that comes out of a can. Contact us today for more information on this green product that is proudly made in the USA.

Real estate professionals frequently tell sellers that they should bake fresh chocolate chip cookies to give the house that homey feel. In fact, this does not work. Homes & Land experts warn that this scent is far too complex to be pleasing. Instead, it becomes a distraction. Moreover, five house odors may make selling your property an uphill battle. These are most likely the smells that you do not even notice any longer.

1. Masking sprays. You want to take a page from the playbook of the experts and buy vanilla-scented room spray. To you, it smells great. To the prospective buyer, the vanilla scent unpleasantly mingles with the other smells that are in the room.
2. Cigarette smoke. It is not enough to empty the ashtrays and hide the cartons. Even opening the windows for a few minutes before the showing is insufficient. Cigarette smoke particles lodge in the creases of fabrics and attach themselves to wall surfaces.
3. Kitchen smells. Last night’s tuna casserole or spicy curry dish leaves a smell behind. To you, it is faint. This is not necessarily the case for those visiting your home for the first time.
4. Musty smells. Basements, laundry rooms and windowless bathrooms sometimes take on a musty smell. This is compounded by storing old blankets or used towels in these areas.
5. Pet odors. You hardly even notice the dog’s smell or the cat’s litter box scent anymore. A prospective home buyer sees these odors as warning signs that there may be carpet replacement costs up ahead.

These are not the types of house odors that you can get rid of by opening a window, washing a few curtains and spraying a room deodorizing spray. Rather, attack the odor-causing bacteria and molecules where they hide. The deodorizing technology provided by ozone output machines allows you to eradicate house odors by getting rid of the particles that cause them. Whether they hide in fabrics, on walls or deep in carpeting, ozone reacts with the contaminants and thereby eliminates the odors.

Examples of this technology include the Rainbowair 250 Series II, which is ideally suited for treating spaces measuring up to 2,500 square feet. This quickly takes care of a smelly basement or garage. The QT Storm treats properties as large as 10,000 cubic feet, which allows for a whole-house treatment. When you want to ensure that your home buyers only smell the fresh air you would normally associate with a gentle breeze coming in from the outside, this technology delivers.

Ozone Can Kill Bacteria Without Using Triclosan

To say that ozone is a highly effective germ killer would be an understatement.

• No chemicals. Put away the gels, bleach products and harsh chemicals that adversely affect your skin. Ozone offers a natural, non-chemical cleaning process.
• No scents. Cleaning product manufacturers like to use lemon and flower scents in their products, which are designed to overpower the smells created by bacteria. For those sensitive to the artificial smells, these products are useless. Ozone does not generate any smell except that of fresh air, which you might associate with the air you breathe in after a rainstorm.
• No pollution. Ozone works by oxidizing bacteria where they are located. It does not matter whether they hide in your drapes, the walls, the carpeting or on your flat surfaces. An ozone molecule features a third oxygen atom, which bacteria absorb through their cell walls. In so doing, the bacterium is destroyed from within. In the meantime, the loss of the third oxygen atom turns ozone into oxygen.

Choose the Right Equipment

Exposing the bacteria in your home or office to the right level of ozone is instrumental in their successful eradication. It does not make sense to treat a large space with an ozone generator that is only rated for the treatment of average-sized hotel rooms. Contact us to discuss your spatial setups and to find out which generator would be ideal for your setting.

Ozone generators have a long track record of eliminating smells associated with cigarette smoking, pet ownership, and painting. In commercial venues, the use of an ozone generator like the Queenaire QT Hurricane Ozone Generator is instrumental in removing body odors, food smells, and trash stink. There are five commercial uses for this particular model that may change the way you look at your current odor management protocols.

QT Hurricane Specs

This ozone machine is a workhorse. It treats areas up to 20,000 square feet. Featuring the diminutive size of only 7.5 inches in width, 8.75 inches in depth and 11.75 inches in length, the 11-pound ozone generator has an ozone output of 80 mg/hr to 1,800 mg/hr. Operators appreciate the flexibility that a six-cycle programming brings to the table. Of course, you can run this ozone machine continuously if needed.

Businesses that Benefit from the use of the Queenaire QT Hurricane Ozone Generator

1. Casinos. Cigarette smoke is a common odor around casino venues as well as hotel rooms associated with these companies. Rather than trying to mask the smell, destroy the odor at the molecular level.
2. Gyms. Sweat is a hallmark smell of a well-run gym. In the locker rooms, there are body odors and the gym socks that have been lingering in some areas. Neutralize the smell with a full venue treatment after hours.
3. Schools. Closed classrooms quickly take on musty smells. When you have a gym on site, there is also the locker room stench that we have already discussed. Welcome students each day with fresh air rather than last week’s gym sock smell.
4. Restaurants. Although the smell of freshly cooked food is attractive, it begins to wear thin when odors mix and mingle after hours of cooking a broad range of dishes. There is rarely enough of a draft to let the smells escape through an open back door. A regular ozone treatment takes care of the problem areas.
5. Apartment buildings. If you keep the dumpsters within enclosures, the smell quickly builds up. This applies in particular to the warmer summer months. Even if you keep them in an underground garage, there are still lingering smells. Ozone prevents the stink from marring your tenants’ enjoyment of the property.
