What does a homeowner do when there is a bad smell in the home? Open the windows? Turn on a fan? Spray some deodorizing sprays? Opening the window or turning on a fan only offers temporary relief of odor, and deodorizing with perfumes or room sprays will only mask the odor. The best way for professionals to permanently remove odors for their customer is with a home ozone generator.
What is Ozone?
Ozone or O3 is created from normal oxygen (O2) in a special process that utilizes an electrical current. Ozone has been used for many different applications since it was first discovered. It is most widely used commercially in both air and water treatment. Due to its great deodorizing abilities, industrial ozone generator machines are also approved by the FDA to be used in food processing plants
A home ozone generator is often used by professionals for odor removal. Because O3 is a very active molecule, it will follow the same path that any and all odors took when they got on carpets, wall paint, furniture and upholstery, and oxidize those odors as well.
Are Home Ozone Generators Safe?
Sometimes referred to by professionals as a home ozonator, home ozone generators are safe for use as long as they are used in the way they were intended. Whether it is called a home ozone generator or a commercial ozone generator, no type of ozone generator is made for use in occupied areas. Ozone generators are for use in unoccupied spaces only, and should never be running when people or pets are present. While O3 is a powerful oxidizer that will eliminate most odors, long-term exposure is not recommended by government agencies because it can contribute to eye and respiratory irritation. Using a home ozone generator when the residence is unoccupied is safe however, if normal precautions are taken.
