When persistent odours, mould, or contamination affect a property, many people turn to ozone machines or chemical fogging as a quick fix. While these methods may offer short-term improvement, they often fail to address the root cause of the problem.
BioSweep UK provides professional decontamination services, odour removal, and mould remediation using a scientifically verified, residue-free process that works at a molecular level. Unlike ozone or fogging, BioSweep delivers measurable, lasting results.
The Problem with Ozone and Fogging
Ozone generators and fogging systems are widely marketed as effective solutions for odour and microbial contamination. However, both methods have significant limitations:
Ozone treatments rely on an unstable gas that is difficult to control, potentially hazardous at effective concentrations, and often unable to penetrate deep into porous materials.
Fogging systems typically distribute disinfectants unevenly, leaving chemical residues while failing to treat hidden contamination inside walls, soft furnishings, and insulation.
In many real-world cases, odours return because the source of the problem remains untouched.
How BioSweep Works Differently
BioSweep uses an advanced five-stage gas-phase oxidation process that creates a powerful oxidising environment throughout the treated space. This process combines:
Germicidal ultraviolet (UV) light
Plasma energy
Hydroxyl radicals
HEPA air filtration
Oxyradical production
Together, these technologies form a treatment cloud that travels through the entire building envelope, including:
Plaster and dry lining
Soft furnishings and carpets
Timber structures
Electrical voids and ductwork
Insulation and concealed cavities
Rather than masking odours or coating surfaces, BioSweep neutralises the molecular structure of odour-causing compounds and suppresses microbial contamination at its source.
Permanent Odour Removal – Not Temporary Masking
One of the biggest failures of ozone and fogging is that they only treat the air or the surface, not the embedded source of contamination. BioSweep works at a molecular level, meaning:
Odours resulting from fire, water damage, mould, smoke, pets, or decomposition are destroyed, not covered up
No perfumes, chemicals, or residues are left behind
There is no reactivation of odours after humidity changes or temperature shifts
This makes BioSweep ideal for:
Property restoration after fire or flood
Rental properties with lingering odours
Insurance reinstatement works
Commercial premises and vehicles

Verified by Independent UKAS-Accredited Laboratory Testing
A major difference between BioSweep and traditional methods is independent verification.
Every BioSweep treatment can be supported by pre- and post-treatment sampling, analysed by an independent UKAS-accredited laboratory. This provides:
Measurable proof of air quality improvement
Surface contamination assessment
VOC (volatile organic compound) reduction data
Full documentation for insurers, landlords, and compliance audits
This level of transparency is simply not available with ozone or fogging treatments.
Mould Remediation – Suppression Without Chemicals
BioSweep is also highly effective as part of a professional mould remediation strategy. It is important to be clear:
BioSweep does not eliminate mould spores entirely; it suppresses and decontaminates, significantly reducing the active microbial load and odour while improving indoor air quality.
When combined with correct moisture control and building repairs, BioSweep provides an extremely effective final-stage treatment for mould-affected properties.

Frequently Asked Questions About BioSweep
Is BioSweep the same as ozone treatment?
No. BioSweep is not an ozone generator. It uses a five-stage gas-phase oxidation process combining UV light, plasma energy, hydroxyl radicals, HEPA filtration and oxyradical production. This allows BioSweep to safely penetrate materials and neutralise contamination at a molecular level — without the health risks associated with ozone.
Is BioSweep safe for people and pets?
Yes. BioSweep is non-toxic, residue-free, and material safe. Unlike ozone or chemical fogging, it does not leave behind harmful chemicals or irritants. Once treatment is complete and ventilation has taken place, properties can be safely reoccupied.
Does BioSweep remove mould completely?
BioSweep suppresses mould and decontaminates affected environments, significantly reducing microbial load and odours. It does not claim to eliminate mould spores entirely. For best results, BioSweep should be used as part of a full mould remediation strategy alongside moisture control and necessary building repairs.
Will odours come back after BioSweep treatment?
No. BioSweep works by destroying the molecular structure of odour-causing compounds, not masking them. This means odours do not return with changes in temperature or humidity — unlike ozone and fogging treatments.
Is BioSweep verified by independent testing?
Yes. BioSweep treatments can be verified using pre- and post-treatment air and surface sampling analysed by an independent UKAS-accredited laboratory, providing full documentary evidence for insurers, landlords, and compliance audits.
What types of odours can BioSweep remove?
BioSweep is effective against odours resulting from:
Fire and smoke damage
Flooding and water damage
Mould contamination
Pets
Decomposition
Tobacco etc. smoke
Long-term building neglect
