How to eliminate washroom odours in high-traffic environments
Persistent washroom odours are a common problem in busy commercial and public buildings. From offices and shopping centres to motorway services and airports, high usage means that conventional cleaning and air freshening methods often fall short. AIRsteril provides a proven, low-maintenance solution that eliminates odours at the source rather than just masking them.
The challenge of high-traffic washrooms
In environments with frequent footfall, odours are often caused by a build-up of bacteria on surfaces, in the air, and within waste or ventilation systems. Even with regular cleaning, traditional methods cannot prevent odour build-up between cleans. This can result in unpleasant visitor experiences, complaints, and negative brand perception.
Why conventional air fresheners fail
Many businesses rely on chemical sprays or timed aerosol dispensers to combat washroom smells. At best these approaches only mask the odour temporarily. Worse, they can combine with existing smells to create an overpowering artificial scent, without addressing the root cause.
A permanent, science-backed solution
AIRsteril systems use advanced air purification technology to break down airborne and surface bacteria, viruses, moulds, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which are the real cause of washroom odours. AIRsteril units operate continuously and safely, even in occupied spaces.
Scientifically proven performance
Independent laboratory tests show AIRsteril delivers:
• Over 99.99% airborne virus reduction within 10 minutes
• Up to 95% reduction in surface bacteria in occupied environments
• Over 77% reductions in mould, yeast and microorganisms in busy Airport washrooms
• Long-term odour control in demanding settings
Tailored for busy facilities
With models designed for large commercial washrooms, compact cubicles, or high-humidity environments, AIRsteril units are built to meet the needs of high-traffic areas. Installation is quick and maintenance is minimal, with no refills or consumables required.

"The UK banking centre at Canary Wharf is populated with modern skyscrapers featuring the latest in office building technology. The Credit Suisse UK HeadQuarters allows staff to make the most of windows which has meant that the main building services are sited in the middle of the building. As such with long air ducting, their luxury washrooms struggle to maintain air quality and a clean, fresh smelling work place.
They have installed AIRsteril for odour and infection control in their washrooms. Convinced that the bacteria and viruses that cause infections are killed by AIRsteril, the new offices will feature MF units to ensure staff absenteeism is kept to a minimum."
Marylebone Cricket Club
"On a Test Match day at Lord's there are 25,000 people, mostly males, spending all day watching cricket and drinking. With several visits per person during the day the gents toilets can have up to a 10,000 footfall a day. The staff have had difficulty in clearing the resulting odours. The stainless steel trough urinals in some of the washrooms create added problems.
Just in time for a major Test Match, AIRsteril WRX trial units were installed in two of the major washrooms. After just a few hours, the units had managed to get on top of the smell, then controlled the odours throughout the 5 day match. The facilities staff are very pleased and plan to increase the number of installations before the start of the next cricket season."
