The guests arrive, they have their holiday, and they leave. Unfortunately, they often they leave behind more than the occasional abandoned sock. They leave unwanted, complaint-generating, lingering odours.

Cooking smells, pets, smoke, damp carpets, and increasingly the smell of cannabis, are all major odour issues for holiday parks. Your team cleans, but traditional cleaning methods just cover up the smell temporarily, and then the odour returns. Often, that prompts a nasty review on TripAdvisor with the headline ‘stinky accommodation’ or similar.

Ozone technology can offer an efficient and lasting solution by permanently neutralising odours at their source. Not by masking them, not by just hiding them, not by resorting to spraying a chemical fog, but by destroying the odour entirely.

And it does that without chemicals, for as little as £2 per use*, and with no need for refills or expensive filters. In fact, it is so efficient that it only takes one lost rental in high summer to realise a return on your investment.

If you have ever used ozone generation odour control before, you probably already know the benefits. If you are new to it, then you’re probably understandably dubious of the ‘magic box’ that will get rid of odour problems. Well, it’s science, not magic, and here is how it works.

What Exactly is Ozone, and How Does it Destroy Odours?

Ozone (O₃) is a highly reactive form of oxygen that is naturally effective at oxidising and breaking down the actual molecules that cause odours. Unlike conventional air fresheners, it destroys the particles themselves by converting them into a harmless substance, oxygen. This makes ozone particularly effective for deeply embedded odours, even those absorbed by fabrics, upholstery, and carpets.

You just clean as normal, and then send in the Eclipse Pro. Whereas in the past the odour would linger in the carpets and furnishing, now it is drawn out and destroyed.

Using Ozofresh Eclipse Pro in Static Caravans

The increased traffic from visitors over the summer creates more opportunities for spilled food, wet dogs and even the smell of cannabis to become a problem. Static caravans and lodges with their compact layouts and numerous soft furnishings, are ideal spaces for odours to become trapped. Fortunately, the same space that facilitates the odours developing also means ozone treatment using the Eclipse Pro will be highly effective at removing them.

But How Long Will the Accommodation be Out of Service?

The Ozofresh Eclipse Pro uses carefully structured treatment cycles, consisting of ozone generation, a short pause, and a destruction phase that ensures ozone is thoroughly neutralised, making it safe to re-enter shortly after completion.

The Eclipse Pro, for example, operates in specific timed cycles of between 15 and 120 minutes. That includes the automatic Ozone destruct process, which means your accommodation can be back in action within minutes of the cycle finishing.

This carefully managed process ensures ozone reaches every corner of a caravan, effectively neutralising odours in carpets, curtains, cushions, bedding, and seating areas.

Maximising the Efficiency of Ozone Treatment

To achieve the best results from ozone treatment, several steps will help enhance effectiveness:

  • Easy Access to Soft Furnishings: Ensure soft furnishings such as upholstery, bedding, and carpets are exposed, enabling ozone molecules to circulate thoroughly and penetrate deeply.
  • Closed Curtains: Closing curtains during treatment helps ozone interact directly with fabric surfaces, ensuring odours embedded within fibres are neutralised.
  • Fully Enclosed Spaces: Keep all exterior doors and windows firmly closed throughout the ozone treatment. This confinement ensures ozone remains concentrated, significantly enhancing its effectiveness.

That’s usually all you need to do. The manual will tell you how to set the right time for the room. Just plug in, press the timer, leave the room and lock the door securely, maybe with a no entry sign if needed, and that’s it. Return later to a clean smelling caravan that will stay that way until a new odour is introduced. When it is, just bring out the Eclipse again.

Eclipse Pro Max for Larger Spaces

For larger areas such as the maximum-sized holiday lodges, bars, arcades, entertainment theatres, and cinemas, you can turn to the Eclipse Pro Max. These are places where odours can be more challenging due to greater room volume and occupancy levels. The Eclipse Pro Max is the recommended solution because its higher ozone output and stronger airflow are perfectly suited to treat larger or heavily used spaces.

Safe, Efficient, and Permanent Odour Control

Ozofresh’s Eclipse Pro range delivers a powerful yet safe solution by utilising ozone’s unique odour-neutralising capabilities. Once the ozone cycle and destruct phase are complete, treated spaces rapidly return to normal, leaving fresh, odour-free air, ready to welcome your next guests.

By utilising ozone technology such as Ozofresh’s Eclipse Pro and Eclipse Pro Max, you can confidently deliver consistently fresh-smelling static caravans, lodges, and entertainment areas. That will dramatically enhance guest comfort and satisfaction and save you a considerable hit on your bottom line costs and lost revenue.

 

So, If They Are So Good, How Come Every Park Doesn’t Use Eclipse Pros?

Well, the answer to that is, actually, most of the biggest names already do. We supply the major park brands throughout the UK as well as the hotel and conference sector, care homes, gyms and many other locations.

Call us and we can chat through a fact-finding call and perhaps arrange a demonstration visit.
