Why We Use Hydroxyl Generators: What Are They? 

Your Heading Goes Here

When cleaning a space, it is essential to ensure that all surfaces, including those that are difficult to access, are properly treated. Traditional hand-cleaning methods often fall short, as some contaminants hide in hard-to-reach areas. Take an office printer, for example: while its outer surface is easy to wipe down, microscopic bacteria and harmful particles may remain trapped within cracks and crevices. In such cases, an advanced airborne cleaning solution is needed.

At AllAces, we utilise hydroxyl generators to eliminate contaminants such as mould, bacteria, and viruses on both surfaces and in the air. Hydroxyls are naturally occurring particles that neutralise harmful pathogens. They are formed when ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun interact with moisture in the air, creating hydroxyl radicals that help purify the environment.

How Do Hydroxyl Generators Work?

We employ Odorox hydroxyl generators, which replicate this natural process using UV light and water molecules to release hydroxyls throughout an area. These generators have an eco-friendly, FDA-approved design and offer multiple benefits, including:

  • Eliminating airborne and surface contaminants

  • Neutralising odours

  • Decontaminating surfaces

  • Improving indoor air quality

One of the standout advantages of hydroxyl generators is their ability to penetrate porous and non-porous materials, such as fabrics, walls, and furniture, ensuring deep and thorough sanitisation. These devices effectively destroy mould spores, viruses, bacteria, and mildew at the source, preventing future contamination.

Hydroxyl Generators and Mould Removal

Originally developed for NASA to eliminate odours and contaminants in space stations, hydroxyl generators have proven invaluable in mould remediation. Mould spores are microscopic and can spread rapidly to new surfaces, making them challenging to remove completely. Hydroxyl generators neutralise these spores, ensuring they do not relocate and regrow elsewhere on your property.

These devices work by converting ambient moisture into atmospheric hydroxyl radicals, which efficiently cleanse spaces that may have previously been deemed too difficult to sanitise. By mimicking the sun’s broad-spectrum UV radiation, hydroxyl generators help maintain a clean and healthy indoor environment, making them ideal for schools, offices, healthcare facilities, and other high-traffic areas.

Benefits of Including a Hydroxyl Generator in Your Mould Remediation Service

Choosing to include a hydroxyl generator in your mould remediation service offers several key advantages:

  1. Continuous, Non-Toxic Treatment – Hydroxyl generators operate safely while people, pets, and plants remain in the space, allowing remediation to proceed without disruption.

  2. Air and Surface Decontamination – Unlike treatments that target only visible mould, hydroxyls cleanse both the air and surfaces, removing hidden spores and contaminants.

  3. Odour Removal Without Harsh Chemicals – They neutralise musty or mould-related odours without introducing strong, synthetic cleaning agents.

  4. Enhanced Effectiveness in Hard-to-Reach Areas – Hydroxyl radicals spread into crevices, behind walls, and deep into fabrics, treating areas that manual cleaning cannot reach.

  5. Reduced Risk of Recurrence – By addressing airborne spores that could settle elsewhere, hydroxyl generators help prevent future mould growth.

  6. Environmentally Friendly Process – The technology replicates a natural cleansing method without leaving harmful residues.
