Whenever you choose to use an Ozone Generator, make sure you read all of the instructions for use first, and comply with all safety suggestions.
The benefits include:
Effective Odor Elimination: Ozone is highly reactive and can remove tough odors like smoke, mold, and pet odors, by breaking down the molecules that cause the odor.
No Chemicals: Ozone leaves no residue once it has reacted, it reverts to oxygen.
Penetrates Hard to Reach Areas: Ozone gas can reach places deep in carpets, upholstery, and walls where other cleaning methods might not reach.
Kills Mold and Bacteria: Ozone removes odors and disinfects by killing mold, mildew, bacteria, and viruses.
A Portable Ozone Generator Can be Used Almost Anywhere: In homes, sheds, offices, boats, cars, under houses, attics, and others.
Some of the dangers of using Ozone include:
It Can be Harmful to Health: High concentrations of Ozone gas can irritate the respiratory system, causing coughing, throat irritation, and worsen asthma or other lung conditions
It Can Damage Materials: Materials like rubber, electrical wiring, some fabrics, and household items, can be damaged by prolonged exposure to Ozone. Use it judiciously.
Not Effective on Certain Odors: Some odors like urine may not be removed using Ozone, and you may need to try other methods.
You Must Vacate the Space: Direct exposure to Ozone gas must be controlled and Ozone treatments must be done with caution to prevent health risks and damaging certain materials. No people, pets, or plants should be left in a space being treated with Ozone. There will also be a period of time after the treatment when the space should remain unoccupied. This time depends on how big the space is, and how long it was treated with Ozone.
