How many Aero Machines does a senior-living floor need?
One per ~6,000 sq ft of corridor in most layouts. A 30,000 sq ft floor typically needs 5 units.
Why it happens
The number of machines depends on floor plan complexity. Aero Machines release a dry vapor that must circulate throughout corridors to bond with and neutralize airborne odor molecules. Obstructions, corners, and alcoves can create dead zones where vapor cannot reach, requiring strategic placement or additional units to ensure complete, continuous coverage.
What to check
Evaluate your corridor layout for airflow patterns and dead spots. Identify locations of persistent odor issues, such as near common areas or rooms where accidents are frequent. Consider how your HVAC system affects air movement. A floor plan with long hallways has different needs than one with multiple wings, T-junctions, and recessed doorways that impede vapor distribution.
When to call a professional
Call for a professional assessment when cleaning fails to eliminate persistent urine smells, or when mopping makes odors more noticeable. Deep-seated odors from saturated carpets, pads, and subfloors require specialized treatment beyond surface cleaning. If resident or staff complaints continue despite your team’s efforts, an expert evaluation is warranted.
