Trash Chute Odor Control

Eliminate the 'odor highway' effect in your vertical chutes. Luften provides a floor-by-floor neutralization strategy that targets malodors in real-time, ensuring a fresh and professional environment throughout the entire property.

Stop The Updraft

A clean chute is a quiet hallway

Eliminate the 'stack effect' that drives waste odors through your facility. While biofilm coats the length of your chutes, Luften's automated program treats the lining directly to stop odors from escaping into residential hallways. This ensures a neutral, professional environment on every floor.
