FAQ

A2: 

Using an ozone generator will result in a distinct ozone smell in the room, reminiscent of the clean and fresh scent that follows a thunderstorm. Ozone can remain in the air for up to four hours before dissipating back into oxygen. It’s important to choose an ozone machine that is appropriate for the size of the room to avoid excessive concentrations of ozone, which may take longer to reduce back to oxygen.

To minimize the risk of inhaling ozone, it’s crucial to use an ozone machine with a timer that will automatically turn off when the treatment is complete. All Puriozo ozone generators come equipped with a timer for added safety and convenience.

When using an ozone generator for odor removal, it’s recommended to start with the lowest ozone levels and gradually increase the treatment time if necessary. This approach can help to ensure effective odor removal while minimizing ozone exposure.

A3: 

Yes, and it works distinctively well. Ozone generators provide a safe and non-toxic solution to effectively eliminate odors in your home. When it comes to addressing pet odors, an ozone generator is the optimal choice as it naturally and safely removes unwanted smells from affected areas, without posing any health risks to your pets. During the ozone cleaning process, it is necessary for both you and your pets to temporarily vacate the area being treated, ensuring their safety and well-being.

The ozone cleaning procedure typically takes between 8 to 24 hours to complete, depending on the severity of the odor issue. This extended timeframe allows for thorough odor elimination and ensures that the treatment is comprehensive. By utilizing an ozone generator, you can confidently bid farewell to unpleasant pet odors, creating a fresh and inviting environment in your home for both you and your furry companions.

A4: 

Yes, it certainly can. Smoke particles have a remarkable ability to permeate and adhere to various surfaces, including furniture and fixtures. They can even infiltrate hard-to-reach areas, seeping into the tiniest cracks. Consequently, eliminating the lingering cigarette smell becomes a challenging task when someone in your household has been smoking for an extended period.

Fortunately, an ozone generator can effectively tackle this issue. The ozone produced by the generator has a natural transformative effect on the particles it encounters. Through a chemical process, the ozone alters the composition of smoke particles, turning them from malodorous substances into odorless ones. This powerful action effectively neutralizes and eliminates the unpleasant cigarette smell, providing a fresh and clean environment.

A5: 

When using a wired ozone unit for car odor removal, it’s important to connect it to a properly grounded wall outlet using an extension cord. For fully charged portable ozone units, simply placing them inside the vehicle and turning them on is sufficient.

Your car’s air conditioning system can accumulate bacteria and dust, and therefore, the ozone smell may linger in the system for some time. To address this, we recommend shorter ozone treatments of 10-15 minutes per session. During treatment, turn on the recirculation mode on your vehicle’s AC, and afterward, switch to the fresh air mode to enhance ventilation. Frequent, short-duration ozone treatments are more effective than infrequent, long-duration treatments for removing odors.

It’s essential to note that the rubber, plastic, and upholstery in your vehicle may undergo oxidation during ozone treatment, which can cause some parts of the interior to fade or crack. However, as long as you are performing short-duration treatments, any long-term damage or issues should be minimal.

A6: 

Ozone’s strong oxidizing properties can cause plastics to break down and fade. Additionally, pollution in the air, exposure to extreme heat, and contact with certain chemicals and salts are known to contribute to the deterioration of plastics.

To minimize the risk of damage to plastics during ozone treatment, consider the following tips:

Shorten the treatment time to 10-15 minutes and increase the frequency of treatment. Multiple shorter treatment cycles are generally more effective and less harmful to plastics than a single, lengthy treatment.

If plastic items cannot be removed from the room during ozone treatment, consider covering them to protect them from direct exposure.

A7: 

When mold is visible on surfaces, an ozone generator can effectively kill the visible mold on surfaces as well as any spores in the air. Repeated use of the ozone unit can cause the mold to change color from gray to white, indicating that it is dead and can be cleaned off with bleach.

However, if the mold is hidden behind walls or underneath surfaces, it will not be exposed to enough ozone to eliminate it. In such cases, it is necessary to remove the non-visible mold to permanently eliminate it from your space.

If you are unable to easily remove non-visible mold, periodic use of ozone can help to kill any spores in the air as they form. This can prevent mold from growing elsewhere. If your house is consistently humid or damp, mold growth may be a recurring issue. In such cases, regular use of ozone can help to kill any spores in the air and prevent mold growth.

A8: 

While ozone cannot directly kill bugs, an ozone generator can be effective in preventing the hatching of bug eggs and reducing their ability to reproduce. This can be an effective method for inhibiting bugs in your home.

It is important to note that you may not see dead pests after an ozone treatment, even when it is run for an extended period of time at a high concentration. This may be because the pests can sense the danger and move to another area of the house until it is safe to return. As a result, it is recommended to use ozone in conjunction with other pest control methods to ensure that pests are fully eliminated from your home.

A9: 

Yes you can, and you must stay out of the working area. It is imperative that rooms remain unoccupied while the ozone generator is operating. Our units are equipped with user-friendly timers, available in both dial and non-dial varieties. The timer function allows you to set the duration of ozone generation, with a maximum limit of 120 minutes. Before leaving the room, it is essential to set the timer, ensuring that no individuals or pets are present during the ozone treatment. The duration of treatment typically ranges from approximately 10 to 60 minutes, depending on the size of the space being treated.
