"WHAT IS THAT SMELL?"
We’ve all heard it. That smell that could be who knows what coming from the vents of your car or under the seat or in the upholstery itself. You’ve tried cleaning and scrubbing, baking soda, everything you can think of. When all else fails, the next step is an ozone treatment. You may have heard of it. Ozone machines are the area of professional detailers. We’ll break it down for you here.
WHAT IS AN OZONE TREATMENT?
Ozone treatment is the use of the gas ozone (O3) to remove odors, bacteria, and viruses. We will place an ozone generator outside your vehicle for a designated amount of time, depending on the strength of the odor. As the gas permeates your car, the odor is neutralized and any bacteria and viruses are killed. Ozone treatments are the best method for removing stubborn odors. As a gas, it can reach inside vents, far under seats, saturate upholstery fibers, and reach all the nooks and crannies that you can’t.
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE OZONE TO KILL BACTERIA?
Ozone can effectively kill bacteria as well as Giardia, Cryptosporidium, parasites, fungi, molds and other microbes. The ozonation standard for killing most organisms is to maintain 0.3 ppm for a three-minute contact time. The dosage and contact time can vary.
HOW DOES OZONE WORK AS A DISINFECTANT?
Ozone is an unstable gas that can destroy bacteria and viruses. It is formed when oxygen molecules (O2) collide with oxygen atoms to produce ozone (O3). ... After generation, ozone is fed into a down-flow contact chamber containing the wastewater to be disinfected.
HOW DOES OZONE STERILIZE?
Ozone has exciting potential as a sterilizing agent in the world of low-temperature sterilization. After all, it has been used for many years to disinfect drinking water, food, and air.
