Hydroxyl Generator Odor Treatment
Hydroxyl 4000 Odor Treatment — Safe for Occupied Spaces
Unlike ozone or ClO2, hydroxyl generators are safe to operate in occupied spaces — you don't have to leave your home or close your business during treatment. Dry Effect uses the Hydroxyl 4000 series generators, which produce hydroxyl radicals using UV light technology. These radicals are the same molecules that clean Earth's atmosphere naturally. They break down volatile organic compounds (VOCs), bacteria, viruses, and odor-causing molecules on contact. No chemicals, no residue, no downtime.
Our Process
How Hydroxyl Generator Odor Treatment Works
A proven, step-by-step approach to getting your property back to normal.
Assessment
We evaluate the odor source and severity to determine how many hydroxyl generators are needed and where to position them for maximum coverage. Multiple units may be deployed for larger spaces.
Deployment
Hydroxyl 4000 generators are placed strategically throughout the affected area. Unlike ozone, the space remains fully occupied — people, pets, and plants are safe. The generators run continuously.
Treatment
The generators produce hydroxyl radicals that circulate through the space, breaking down odor molecules on every surface and in the air. Treatment typically runs 24-72 hours depending on odor severity.
Verification
We monitor progress and adjust generator placement as needed. Treatment continues until the odor is completely eliminated, not just reduced. No chemical residue is left behind.
