Please do not underestimate the effects of Ozone, as stated I use it in my work I am a Doctor of Mycology. Ozone generators are used to kill any living thing in hospital operating theaters as well as many other uses but it degrades rubber and leather so it will attack your window seals and seats if hide and the seals on your heater matrix Profesional machines come with a manual please read it it will tell you what I have posted is NOT overrated horror story but fact Doc I leave it up to you to take my advice or not but this is not an opinion of a well meaning forum member this is empirical advice from someone who acts as Expert Witness for Governments

I understand you're trying to be helpfull. But 5 years of experience by me, and several more by dozens others who use it even more often then me (and even much longer) really says otherwise. Even the manual (which I have read several times in these years) says nothing about how dangerous it is.
I think you don't have much experience with the models we use in detailing. These machines are probably a lot more different then the ones you use. I don't plan on sterilizing hospital theaters with it (they are far to small for such a thing anyway), but it is used to remove odors and smells from car interior. I appreciate your advice, but my own experience and that of many others tell me that it is fine to use and that there is no risk of damage. I have yet to hear or see the first customer with any problems relating to the use of an ozon generator.

Is this not more of a 'level' use argument? Something along the lines of fluoride in our water type thing, Fairly harmless in small doses, drink a cup of it and you'd be in the poop.
I'd hazard a guess that the amounts the machinery Doc uses to kill stuff is far far greater that the amount generated by the equipment Vinnie uses

Plus you don't not go into an operating theatre after it has been used, you just don't go in there whilst it is active and for a period after, same principle applies to the car, although the 'dosage' would determine the time windows... |

I have used ozone generators albeit some years ago now but they do provide an effective way of cleaning the air quality in a room.
I used to work in Clean Rooms where dust and odours could linger so it was imperative that these were kept ultra clean, much cleaner than any operating theatre. The only thing was you had to clear the room but after a few minutes it was safe to go back into the room. There is an old method that works for getting rid of stale smells, dog, tobacco, and so on and that's by cutting an onion in half and placing it in the room overnight. It does work!

Vinnie
An apology is owed to you I have looked at the type of machines you would buy and use and they have a tiny output, unless you are using them every month in the same car it would be unlikely to degrade the rubber and leather I didn't know such small machines existed Sorry mate and carry on, as you know ozone is an effective cure of odours but I always think it leaves a strange after odour behind Doc

Hi guys just to clarify a couple of points I don't use Ozone generators in hospital theatres personally I'm not that kind of a Doctor I use them on mouldy buildings to kill the mould or fire damaged properties to remove the smells, the ozone is used to kill the mould spores and neutralise the smell after fires
Ozone is a oxidising agent which will at the concentration I use kill any living organism and as all smells are carbon based it will also by production of oxygen molecules convert the smell Generators produce typically O8 to O13 (sorry can't get small numbers) and this is very unstable with a half life of minutes so it's safe to enter room after about half an hour, hospitals use a similar dose of ozone to sterilise theatres and kill nasties like MRSA Hope that clears up a couple of points and gives you a bit of information on Ozone and it's uses Doc p's when I say that I use, I specify the methodology I don't get my hands on these days

My old mother in law used to leave a saucer of ammonia based liquid cleaner on the table, in the lounge each night when she went to bed, to get rid of the tobacco smell, she smoked like chimney.
It seemed to work. |
