Massachusetts Sheraton Debuts Allergen-Free PURE Floor
The Four Points by Sheraton, a business-class hotel and full-service conference center located in Norwood, Massachusetts, creates a PURE ZONE floor, which includes 28 PURE guest rooms plus PURE in the floor's hallways and elevator lobby. Soothing music and calming lights are the extra touches that add to this tranquil and healthy atmosphere that guests highly value.
PURE rooms provide an allergy-friendly environment that removes up to 98% of bacteria and viruses. The concept utilizes special purification techniques whereby each room is treated comprehensively to remove allergens and irritants from all surfaces, fabrics and air flow. The conversion process designed by PURE Solutions ensures that air handling units are deeply cleaned and sanitized then equipped with the company's specially made Tea Tree Oil Cartridge. PURE Tea Tree Oil is an all natural antiseptic and disinfectant gel that maintains the sanitary conditions created during the initial conversion process. Soft surfaces are cleansed and sanitized with PURE Clean to eliminate irritants and contaminants that can trigger allergies and cause discomfort. The room next undergoes a one time high ozone shock treatment to kill any remaining living organisms and their associated odors. A bacteriostatic barrier called PURE Shield is then applied to all surfaces to prevent the growth of bacteria.

Allergen-free environment
To maintain these ideal conditions in the room, a state-of-the-art air purification system is installed, creating air quality that averages four times cleaner than the threshold for asthma patients. This system is registered by the FDA as a Class II medical device. Special micro-fiber hypo-allergenic pillow cases and mattress covers are used in the room to reduce allergies triggered by dust mite allergens.
"I suffer badly from allergies so my interest in the PURE room is personal as well as professional and I have to say that our PURE ZONE has been a huge success. By offering the Pure room advantage, we're making it easier for our guests with allergies to travel comfortably," says Kevin Casey, general manager of the Four Points by Sheraton Norwood. "Because we take a great deal of pride in the cleanliness and maintenance of our hotel, our guests can rest assured that every room and guest space is cleaned to our highest standards For those guests, who suffer from allergy symptoms, we are very pleased to offer an alternative that will make their stay healthy, pleasant and one that will make them want to come back."
The PURE ZONE encompasses more than 10 percent of the hotel's 202 guest rooms.
