K&M Steam Cleaning just added a new tool for tackling stubborn odors in Austin-area homes and businesses: the professional OdorStop OS12500 ozone generator.
With a manufacturer-rated treatment area of up to 12,500 square feet, this equipment expands our ability to handle odor problems in larger properties, from homes and apartments to offices, hotel suites, restaurants and commercial spaces. Actual treatment requirements depend on the building’s layout, ventilation and the severity of the odor.
Professional Equipment for Demanding Jobs
Our new OdorStop combines adjustable ozone production with a powerful blower to distribute treatment air throughout an unoccupied space.
Key features include:
- 12 ozone plates for professional odor-treatment applications.
- Variable ozone output to adjust the equipment for different treatment needs.
- A 2,500 CFM blower that moves 2,500 cubic feet of air per minute.
- A 12-hour timer for controlling treatment duration.
- Independent blower operation, allowing the equipment to function as an air mover with ozone production switched off.
- Compatibility with up to 50 feet of 14-inch flexible ducting for directing airflow into difficult-to-reach areas.
- Accessible ozone plates that can be cleaned without taking the unit apart.
Together, these features give us additional flexibility when planning treatment for large spaces and challenging odor problems.
An Additional Option for Stubborn Odors
Some odors linger long after the initial mess has been cleaned up. Tobacco smoke, pet accidents and moisture-related problems can leave a property smelling unpleasant even when its surfaces look clean.
The OS12500 is marketed for odor-treatment applications involving tobacco, smoke, pets and water damage. At K&M Steam Cleaning, adding this equipment gives us another option to consider when evaluating a persistent odor problem.
The right approach starts with understanding where the smell is coming from. A smoke odor in a vacant property presents a different challenge than pet contamination in carpet padding or a musty smell caused by an unresolved leak.
Cleaning the Source Still Matters
Professional odor treatment begins with the source.
If pet urine has penetrated carpet padding, treating the air alone will not remove the contamination. If moisture is still entering a building, the underlying problem needs attention. Smoke residue on surfaces may require cleaning before additional deodorizing work makes sense.
Ozone reacts with certain odor-causing compounds, but results vary. It does not physically remove contaminated materials, and it should not replace necessary cleaning, moisture correction or mold remediation. Reactions can also produce irritating byproducts, which makes careful treatment planning essential.
Our new equipment complements the carpet, upholstery and other cleaning services customers already turn to K&M Steam Cleaning for.
What Customers Should Expect
Ozone treatment requires an unoccupied space. People and pets must remain outside the treatment area, and plants and sensitive materials need consideration before work begins.
Ozone can irritate the lungs and damage certain materials. Treatment must include appropriate precautions, ventilation and confirmation that the space is suitable for reentry. Scheduling should account for the entire process, including the time after the generator stops running.
When requesting service, tell us what the odor smells like, how long it has been present, which rooms are affected and whether there has been smoking, pet contamination or water damage. Those details help us evaluate the job and recommend an appropriate approach.
