Product testing summary
I am delighted with the performance of the AIRsteril Units.HOW MANY OF THESE COMMENTS DO YOU RECOGNISE
• Specialist care home designer recent comments - Went back to recently completed luxury care home and although the premises were spotlessly clean the pleasant background smell of new paint and carpets which prevailed on completion was replaced by a stale unpleasant background odour. On investigation he could only conclude that the new building fabric had absorbed the airborne odours associated with care for the elderly in only three months.
• Older care homes experience odour ingress into the building fabric even more, so even whilst the cleaning standards are impeccable the background odours can still prevail.
• When carers return home from work a common complaint is odour trapped in clothes.
• Carers and care home management can also become "nose blind" they cannot identify ongoing unpleasant smells meaning residents’ relatives continue to complain about odours.
• One clients care home manager said "when I returned from a fortnight's holiday the unpleasant odours were appalling when I walked through the front door" as she admitted, "I honestly never noticed it before".
• One carer said "we can’t open the windows in the winter and the air gets stale and unpleasant, I always used to feel tired around four o’clock, probably due to the central heating and poor air quality".
With AIRsteril, unpleasant smells can be significantly reduced and complaints about odours can be minimised, helping to create a more pleasant environment for residents, staff and visitors while supporting wider hygiene measures.
First impressions count
Maintaining cleaning standards ensures that any odours are reduced wherever possible, even efforts to wash furnishings or clear odours with fragrances can add an unpleasant staleness to the air which is noticeable to visitors. As newcomers to the home, visitors will always be more sensitive to odours than staff or residents. This is where AIRsteril can help.
Continuously improve air quality
Independent laboratory and field testing has demonstrated that AIRsteril can significantly reduce airborne microorganisms and odour causing compounds in a range of challenging environments.

AIRsteril systems use ultraviolet germicidal irradiation and advanced oxidation to improve air quality throughout. Contaminated air is drawn into an internal chamber where ultraviolet energy and advanced oxidation destroy airborne microorganisms and break down odour causing compounds. The system then circulates treated air back into the space to reduce airborne contaminants and help manage the smells and compounds that build up in care environments.
Each unit is engineered to maximise dwell time within the chamber and to project treated air across the room so the same air is not repeatedly processed. This creates a continuous purification effect and helps maintain cleaner and fresher conditions with no disruption to residents or staff.
The system offers low energy operation and is designed for long term reliability with minimal upkeep.
AIRsteril provides solutions for both wide open spaces and smaller rooms, helping to improve cleanliness and reduce unpleasant smells in bedrooms, corridors, lounges, washrooms and sluice areas. By treating the air continuously, AIRsteril supports better air hygiene and reduces the need for strong fragrances and frequent use of masking sprays.
Units are easy to integrate into daily routines, require minimal maintenance and operate quietly in the background so normal care activities can continue without disruption.
