With the recent fires in Malibu, nothing compares to the power of a hydroxyl generator. When created in an atmosphere where odor-causing chemicals are present, hydroxyl particles decompose them. They are often referred to as a ‘natural broom,’ because they ensure that indoor environments contain very low levels of these chemicals. Hydroxyl is particularly useful when dealing with unpleasant odors, due to its speed. It can break down as many as 5,000 different chemicals (including smoke).
