How to handle smoke, sickness and spills: rapid room recovery with AIRsteril
Not every guest stay goes smoothly. When rooms are left with lingering smells from smoking, sickness, food or unexpected accidents, standard cleaning is rarely enough. These incidents disrupt operations, put pressure on housekeeping, and risk complaints or refund demands.
The real cost of a problem room
Whether it is the smell of tobacco, stale food, or a room affected by sickness or incontinence, the result is the same: the next guest notices.
• Odours stick to fabrics, carpets and air systems
• Turnover time increases as cleaning teams try to manage the issue
• Rooms may be taken out of service, costing revenue
• Even a clean room can receive a poor review due to lingering smells
Why sprays do not work
Most hotels still rely on fragrance sprays or air fresheners. While these may offer a temporary masking effect, they do not remove the compounds causing the odour. Worse, they can combine with unpleasant smells and make the problem more noticeable.
The answer is to remove odours and neutralise the underlying cause, quickly.
The MP100: your rapid response odour solution
The AIRsteril MP100 is a portable decontamination unit used by leading hotels to restore air quality after high-impact incidents. Compact, powerful and easy to deploy, it removes odours from:
• Tobacco smoke
• Vomit or illness-related contamination
• Food spillage and leftovers
• Pet incidents or bedwetting
• Damp or mildew in closed-up rooms
How it works:
The MP100 uses advanced AIRsteril technology to eliminate odours and airborne contaminants. Most rooms are returned to a fresh, clean state in under 30 minutes, with no masking and no chemicals.
Reduce lost nights and protect your revenue
When a room is out of service due to odour or contamination, that results in lost revenue and possibly a refund or discount. With the MP100:
• Rooms can be returned to service faster
• Unpleasant smells are quickly eliminated
• Cleaners can work more efficiently and with greater confidence
• Guest satisfaction is protected with no lingering odours or bad impressions
Trusted by hotel brands
From boutique hotels to major city groups, AIRsteril is a trusted part of the operational toolkit. The MP100 is used:
• After guest check-out where a problem is flagged
• As a follow-up after deep cleans or biohazard incidents
• In rotation across floors to maintain freshness during periods of high occupancy

"The UK banking centre at Canary Wharf is populated with modern skyscrapers featuring the latest in office building technology. The Credit Suisse UK HeadQuarters allows staff to make the most of windows which has meant that the main building services are sited in the middle of the building. As such with long air ducting, their luxury washrooms struggle to maintain air quality and a clean, fresh smelling work place.
They have installed AIRsteril for odour and infection control in their washrooms. Convinced that the bacteria and viruses that cause infections are killed by AIRsteril, the new offices will feature MF units to ensure staff absenteeism is kept to a minimum."
Marylebone Cricket Club
"On a Test Match day at Lord's there are 25,000 people, mostly males, spending all day watching cricket and drinking. With several visits per person during the day the gents toilets can have up to a 10,000 footfall a day. The staff have had difficulty in clearing the resulting odours. The stainless steel trough urinals in some of the washrooms create added problems.
Just in time for a major Test Match, AIRsteril WRX trial units were installed in two of the major washrooms. After just a few hours, the units had managed to get on top of the smell, then controlled the odours throughout the 5 day match. The facilities staff are very pleased and plan to increase the number of installations before the start of the next cricket season."
