How Does Ozone Work To Remove Odours?

After we detail and thoroughly dry the interior of your car we place the ozone generator inside your vehicle for short intervals of 1-3 hours, depending on the severity of the odour.

Ozone (O3) is a naturally occurring form of oxygen (O2) with three atoms instead of regular oxygen’s two. In the upper atmosphere, ozone filters out harmful rays from the sun, allowing life to exist on earth. Closer to home, ozone is produced by lightning and ultraviolet light from the sun. If you’ve experienced the freshness of the air after a thunderstorm, you’ve smelled ozone.

Ozone is very unstable, with an average half-life of 20 minutes. It must, therefore, be produced at the point of use, rather than stored in a container. It works to eliminate odours by casting off its third oxygen atom onto any other organic element, oxidizing the other element or converting it to a different substance.

In the case of chemical or organic odours, ozone converts foul-smelling substances into non-odorous substances naturally, with no artificial or unhealthy chemicals to buy, store, or use. It also deactivates and destroys moulds, bacteria, viruses, fungi, and mildew. Then, once the job is done, ozone converts back to oxygen.

Ozone is unparalleled in its ability to effectively remove tough odours, but the gas cannot completely penetrate carpet padding, headrests, or seat stuffing. That is why, for the best results, your vehicle interior should be thoroughly cleaned before starting an Ozone treatment. This will leave your vehicle as fresh as possible once treated.

Ozone treatment, usually combined with car interior detailing, can permanently kill complex odours like smoke, mould, and pet smells. Ozone treatment is the most powerful and environmentally friendly method to get your car smelling fresh again.

Can I do my own Ozone Treatment?

It can be very tempting to purchase an ozone generator yourself to use in your vehicles or home. While some ozone generators are marketed for personal use, the EPA has not cleared them for indoor use. If not done correctly, the ozone can cause damage to unseen components in your vehicle.

It’s important to note that ozone is toxic to animals, including humans. Breathing ozone can cause the same chemical reaction to happen in your body that is happening to the bacteria and viruses in your car. Symptoms include irritation of the upper respiratory tract, cough, and difficulty breathing.

If you are looking to remove odours yourself, it’s best to look for more natural ways to remove odours, such as baking soda. Leave the Ozone Treatment to the professionals. Call Local Trauma Clean today!
