Frequently Asked Questions

Allergy sufferers

Leading hotels around the world are finding an ever-growing opportunity in providing allergen and air pollution free hotel rooms for guests. In order to establish this, hotels are currently utilising mobile hotel air cleaning units to provide protection against airborne allergens, such as:

  • Asthma
  • Hay Fever
  • Toxic Chemicals
  • Bacteria and Viruses
  • Particulate Contaminants
  • Tobacco Smoke

In the UK alone, there are 18.2 million allergy sufferers, not including those suffering other respiratory related symptoms. This equates to 1 in 3 of the population. An estimated 40% of children suffer from an allergy, displaying symptoms such as a stuffy or runny nose, asthma, eczema, and persistent coughs.

Hotels and Shisha Pipes

The growing trend for Shisha pipe smoking means many hotels have increased problems clearing the odour from both the rooms where pipes are smoked as well as from adjoining rooms. The complex mixture of chemicals, particulates and gases in tobacco smoke make it especially hard to remove once it has had the opportunity to impregnate fabrics and soft furnishings.

The use of mobile high-performance hotel air cleaners, taken into the room whilst smoking is occurring, dilutes the ability of the smoke to seep into adjoining rooms and corridors. A further high volume of air changes via a hotel air cleaner once the smoking guests have left enables the room to be re-let with clean air and furnishings.

Traffic Pollution and Hotels

In today’s urban environments, the overall air quality is decreasing, leading to many hoteliers seeking to improve the quality of air in their establishment. Specialist hotel air cleaners such as the IQAir CleanZone SL or IQAir Perfect 16, both retrofitted into building air handling units, as well as individual hotel air filtration units in bedrooms, ensure the air breathed in by guests is pure and free from the high levels of particulates, nitrates and odours from traffic pollution.
