To the Manager Who Feels They Failed to Make it Non-Smoking Despite Changing Wallpaper and Carpets: Enhancing Room Odor Countermeasures for Tobacco Smells

Project to Convert Smoking Floors to Non-Smoking Floors

HONU Inc. (Headquarters: Akasaka, Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Kenichi Uchida / Service Brand "Shokubai no Chikara (HONU)" / Trade Name "KOHKIN LAB") is strengthening its services for countermeasures against tobacco odors associated with the conversion of smoking floors to non-smoking floors and the non-smoking sale of smoking guest rooms in hotels and inns.

In recent years, driven by the increasing demand for non-smoking accommodations, lodging facilities have been moving to change smoking floors to non-smoking floors and to resell smoking guest rooms as non-smoking rooms.

However, even after renewing wallpaper and carpets, there are cases where guests point out "there's a cigarette smell in this non-smoking room," leading to room changes and complaint handling.

HONU Inc. receives consultations from hotels and inns nationwide regarding such odor recurrence after converting smoking rooms to non-smoking.

Reasons Why Tobacco Odors Remain Even After Replacing Wallpaper and Carpets

Tobacco odors do not just remain in visible areas like wallpaper and carpets. In guest rooms that have been used as smoking rooms for many years, odor sources may remain in various places within the room, such as inside air conditioning units, ventilation paths, ceiling spaces, fixtures, furniture, bathrooms, around curtain rails, and in gaps.

Therefore, even if the interior is renewed and looks new, tobacco odors can return when the air conditioning is operated, due to changes in humidity, or over time.

Especially in hotels and inns, allowing guests to smell tobacco odors in rooms sold as non-smoking can lead to decreased guest satisfaction, the burden of room change対応, cleaning verification, and impact on review ratings, placing a significant strain on operations.

Addressing Odor Sources Throughout the Room Based on Over 6,000 Room Construction Experiences Nationwide

HONU Inc. has performed construction at lodging facilities nationwide, including major city hotel chains, with a cumulative track record of over 6,000 rooms.

For the conversion of smoking rooms to non-smoking, simply reducing the odor is insufficient. It is necessary to identify where odor sources remain – walls, ceiling spaces, bathrooms, air conditioning, bedding, fabric items, carpets, etc. – and perform cleaning, decomposition, and deodorization for each cause.

Our company combines construction capabilities that inspect the entire guest room, including refreshing hotel guest rooms, dismantling and cleaning concealed air conditioning units, bathroom beautification, limescale removal, and carpet cleaning, with deodorizing technology that targets tobacco odors, to bring smoking rooms closer to being rooms that can be sold as non-smoking.

Tobacco Odor Countermeasures Proposed by "Shokubai no Chikara"

The service brand "Shokubai no Chikara (HONU)" addresses accumulated tobacco odors in smoking rooms of hotels and inns through its unique catalytic technology, which combines platinum colloid, silver colloid, and titanium dioxide.

Furthermore, we propose construction tailored to the condition of each room by combining the following measures as needed:

Overall room deodorization construction Odor countermeasures inside air conditioning units Dismantling and cleaning of concealed air conditioning units Carpet cleaning Bathroom and water area beautification Odor countermeasures for walls, fixtures, and furniture areas Pre- and post-construction confirmation work 対応 for photos and construction reports
