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.
Features
Active chemistry contacts the actual source — not just the air.
Hallways stay neutral even on top floors closest to the stack.
Refills handled on schedule, no daily staff effort.
Installs on existing infrastructure with minimal disruption.
"Complaints dropped almost overnight. The system runs without us thinking about it."
"Our staff used to scrub and spray every shift. Now odors stay gone between visits."
"Residents and guests both noticed the difference within the first week."
"Reliable, discreet, and finally a real fix instead of perfume."
Real facilities. Real numbers. See how Luften's automated programs delivered measurable outcomes.
An 18-story residential tower deployed Luften's automated odor program at the chute and trash room. Within 30 days resident complaints dropped to a handful per quarter.
A 200-bed community paired continuous dispensing with targeted chemistry. Staff stopped chasing odors and family-visit feedback improved.
A class-A office property cut perceived restroom odor issues to near zero with a continuous program tuned to occupancy patterns.
The most reliable method is timed dispensing at the top of the chute so neutralizing chemistry coats the full chute lining on every cycle, combined with treatment at the discharge and trash room. That stops the stack effect from pushing waste odor out of chute doors onto residential floors between cleanings.
Most NYC high-rises need a full chute cleaning once or twice a year, but cleaning alone only resets the problem. Buildings that pair an annual cleaning with continuous chute dosing keep hallways neutral year-round and typically cut odor complaints sharply within the first 30 days.
No. Luften uses non-caustic, non-aerosol chemistry that is safe for steel and aluminum chutes and safe around residents, food service, and staff. Equipment is installed in the service area, so residents see nothing and staff never handle chemicals.
We'll spec a program for your chute height, units served, and pickup frequency.
Luften services buildings across New York City and the surrounding tri-state area on a monthly route. If your neighborhood is on this list, a technician is already nearby every month.
