The Process<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ozone is arguably the most efficient tactic we can use to get rid of foul odors. This is because ozone has the ability to eradicate odors at their source. Ozone can do this because it is able to adjust the chemical makeup of the molecules that are creating the bad smell. Ozone is considered to be unstable because it is made up of three oxygen atoms. Eliminating bad smells with ozone occurs when the third oxygen atom attaches to the molecules that are creating the odor. This detachment\/attachment onto the foul molecules change the molecular structure of whatever is creating the bad smell, and essentially changes them to non-smelling molecules. This is the process that makes ozone a necessity when traditional remedies like baking soda or store-bought cleaning supplies simply won\u2019t do the trick.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Popular Applications<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are a number of different instances where ozone use would be preferred because the smell you are dealing with is simply too stubborn. One of the most common instances where ozone could be used is in regard to getting rid of cigarette odors. Cigarette smells can be especially pesky for a couple reasons, such as the smell being absorbed into fabrics (carpet, car seats), and also because cigarettes have been smoked in an area for years on end without the area ever being properly cleaned. For applications like getting the smoke smell out of cars, it is important to note that ozone on its own will not be the answer to completely getting rid of the smell. You should also have your car\u2019s carpet deep cleaned, as well the air conditioning system cleaned out. If you fail to also follow these steps, the smoke smell will continue to come back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dealing with pet odors is another time when ozone may be the right solution. Ozonating specific parts of your house where your pet typically resides will get rid of the smell that your pet causes. Another popular application is getting rid of the smell caused by mold and mildew. An important thing to remember is that if you have mold, the use of ozone will not get rid of the already present mold. Using ozone in this instance will get rid of the smell that the mold is causing, and could also help in stopping the growth of mold. However, ozone will not kill the mold itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Safety Precautions<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to using ozone for odor removal, the ozone levels present will be above the exposure limits for humans (and pets for that matter). Because of this, please remember to take some safety precautions before you begin the process of oxidizing an area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                -Always remember to make sure that children and pets are out of the area and are unable to get into the area that you are oxidizing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                -Wait approximately 2-4 hours after the ozone generator is done running before returning to the area where it was used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                -In addition to human safety concerns, exposure to high enough ozone concentrations can also kill plants, cause damage to rubber, and discolor different materials, so make sure to take items out of the area you\u2019re oxidizing to ensure they don\u2019t get ruined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
