Case Studies from Auto, Rental, and Hospitality Clients
You use chlorine dioxide odor removal to fix problems fast. These short case studies show how teams in auto sales, rental fleets, and hospitality handle tough odors with predictable results. Each example focuses on real operational issues you deal with daily.
1. Auto Dealerships
Problem
Incoming trade-ins with smoke and food odors slowed reconditioning and reduced resale value.
Action
Dealership reconditioning teams used mid-size chlorine dioxide kits inside closed vehicles for one treatment cycle. Techs followed a simple ventilation and wipe-down process.
Outcome
-
Reduced odor-related detail time
-
Fewer price reductions tied to interior smell
-
Faster turnaround for used inventory
2. Rental Car Companies
Problem
High-usage vehicles returned with smoke, cannabis, and spill odors. Units were sitting out of service too long.
Action
Operations managers used fast-release chlorine dioxide products across mixed fleet types. Staff deployed treatments during standard fueling and cleaning windows.
Outcome
-
Returned cars to active status the same day
-
Lowered cost per treatment compared to ozone
-
Fewer customer complaints at pickup
3. Hospitality / Hotels
Problem
Rooms flagged for smoke or long-stay odors slowed housekeeping and reduced occupancy.
Action
Housekeeping supervisors treated rooms with room-size chlorine dioxide kits during normal turnover. Staff ventilated, wiped touch points, and reset the room.
Outcome
-
Faster readiness for next guest
-
Less reliance on ozone or fragrance cover-ups
-
Lower labor time for deep cleaning
4. Fleet Operators / Corporate Vehicles
Problem
Company vehicles with persistent odors from food transport, moisture, or smoking created workplace complaints.
Action
Safety and facilities teams used small and large kits based on cabin size. Vehicles were treated after hours.
Outcome
-
Improved vehicle usability
-
Fewer employee complaints
-
Lower long-term cleaning costs
5. Hospitality Maintenance Teams
Problem
Odors in storage rooms, linen areas, and break rooms lingered despite cleaning.
Action
Maintenance teams placed slow-release chlorine dioxide units in problem areas on a rotating schedule.
Outcome
-
More stable indoor air quality
-
Reduced odor reports from staff
-
Less frequent chemical use
