FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions

How does Oxytec reliably remove smoke and odors from hotel rooms?

Our systems work with UV-C, plasma, or UV ozone.
These technologies directly oxidize odor molecules—in particular:

  • nicotine, VOCs, and tar substances from tobacco smoke
  • Odors from textiles, furniture, fumes, or food
  • No masking, just genuine neutralization

The air becomes noticeably fresh and clean – even in rooms that were previously heavily polluted.

Are the devices also suitable for smaller hotel rooms or older buildings?

Yes—our compact recirculation units are:

  • space-saving
  • low-noise
  • suitable for retrofitting without modifications

They can be wall-mounted, flush-mounted to the ceiling, or integrated as mobile units in individual rooms, suites, or apartments.

How does your system differ from room fragrances or traditional fans?

Room fragrances mask odors, fans disperse them.

Our devices, on the other hand, destroy odor molecules with the help of:

  • UV-C light
  • plasma technology, or
  • ozone catalysis

The result: lasting air purification without any residual odors—even with daily use.

How often do the devices need to be serviced?
  • UV-C lamps: approx. 8,000–12,000 hours of operation
  • Plasma units: self-cleaning or replaceable, depending on the model
  • Filters (for hybrid solutions): 1–2 times per year

On request, we offer maintenance packages or training for your building services team.

Is there a solution for heavily contaminated rooms—e.g., after many years of smoking?

Yes. For such cases, we offer:

  • mobile special devices with intensive function
  • temporary shock disinfection through controlled ozone treatment
  • supplementary textile or surface treatment methods

This allows even problematic rooms to be transformed back into fully functional guest rooms.

Is the use of your air purifiers safe and certified?

Yes – all devices:

  • comply with the requirements of VDI 6022 (hygiene in room air conditioning)
  • are electrically safe in accordance with DIN EN 60335
  • operate ozone-free or with safe ozone recirculation

If required, we can provide safety certificates and operating instructions for your QM system.

Are there any subsidies available for air purification systems in hotels?

Partially yes – for example, in the context of:

  • energy-efficient renovation or hygiene measures
  • funding programs for sustainable tourism or air quality
  • industry-specific investment aid
