Ozone Generator 128,000mg/h, Commercial Ozone Machine Odor Removal, High Capacity Ozone Machine, Home Ozone Generator for Car, Home, Smoke, Pet, etc (Black) - by TTDMK

My dog got sprayed by a skunk during a hike. I was less than thrilled when I had to put her in my car (with leather seats) to get her back home.Skunk spray is an oily mix of sulfur compounds from what I've read, so it's critical to clean it off with something that will break down the oils and neutralize the smell. It's very persistent so you have to remove ALL of it to get rid of the smell.I've tried several specialty products for this but one of the best is a homebrew solution of hydrogen peroxide, baking soda, and dish soap. The recipe I use is 1 quart peroxide, 1/4 cup baking soda, and a tablespoon or so of dish soap. The peroxide must be FRESH. Do yourself a favor-- buy a new bottle at the supermarket or pharmacy if you need to make this concoction.. Peroxide is not shelf stable and quickly decomposes into water and oxygen, so if it sat around for any length of time unsealed (or even an old sealed bottle), it may become ineffective and you won't get rid of the smell.I scrubbed the car as best I could with the peroxide/baking soda/soap mix, as well as an upholstery cleaner. I also sprayed the interior and wiped down some of the surfaces with a can of Ozium. Yes, they tell you not to apply Ozium directly to any surfaces, but screw that-- the stench of a skunk prevails over excessive caution.Each cleaning step diminished the smell noticeably, but after all scrubbing it was still there. OK, time to try something a little stronger. I bought this ozone generator and had it the next day. Luckily (sort of) my dog got sprayed on a Friday so I had the entire weekend to get rid of the smell. I plugged it in, threw it in the back of the car, and shut all the doors.After an hour, I opened the doors and aired the car out. This is important because ozone is very reactive and can be a pretty potent eye and mucous membrane irritant. You can get dizzy or worse if you breathe too much in, and this generator produces a LOT of ozone (which is what I wanted).The car smelled of ozone even after airing out for a while, but it DIDN'T smell of skunk. I put my nose up to the door panel and sniffed it. A slight smell of skunk lingered, but nothing like before. I gave the ozone generator another hour to work and called it good.As of now, there is no smell of skunk in the car AT ALL. I'm not sure how well the ozone generator would have worked by itself, but as part of a combined effort with the intensive cleaning, it was quite effective. This was a pretty bad usage case, because the smells can soak into the leather interior and they're contained in a relatively small area. Based on this, I've concluded that this thing is quite effective at removing odors.Please keep in mind that ozone is very reactive and can bleach the colors out of some fabrics or even degrade them. If in doubt, try to test the generator in an inconspicuous location (easier said than done, I know). I skipped this step because a skunkmobile would have been undriveable, whereas a car with a discolored interior but without the colossal stink of a fart-kitten is ugly but useable. In this case, pragmatism has to win out over esthetics.Also keep in mind that this thing will quickly produce toxic levels of ozone, so if you use it in an enclosed room, make sure there are no people or pets in it, and air it out completely afterwards. This thing can be a death sentence for a small animal in an enclosed room.I'm really glad I bought this. It gives me another option when dealing with persistent odors in enclosed spaces. It's simple to use, relatively inexpensive, and effective.

I really can't say enough good things about this product! I recently moved into an apartment that was very dirty and had a horrific pet urine, incence, and musty smell. It was unbearable. After spending days cleaning and fighting with the leasing agent and maintenance, I started feeling so powerless and depressed. I'm a very clean person and I have OCD. I can't deal with strong odors and filth. I would gag every time I came home and I wanted to break the lease and move. After doing a bit of research, I found out about Ozone generators. I looked online and most being sold were hundreds of dollars. I decided to check Amazon and found this one. It was literally the best purchase I have EVER made! I ran cycles of it for several days in different rooms. I could tell an immediate improvement in the first use! It got better and better every time I used it. After a week, there is ZERO smell. It doesnt smell good, it doesnt smell bad. It's just neutral. I smell carpet and paint now and thats it! This device has literally saved the day! I am so so pleased with it! I couldn't stay here if it weren't for it. It changed everything. I can't recommend it enough! I mean it when I say, it's one of the best products I have ever purchased. It WORKS! Please follow the directions VERY closely though as it is dangerous around pets, plants, and people. You CANNOT be in the home or area you are using it in. You will get very sick if you stay in the area where it's running. It can cause lung damage if you expose yourself to it while its running. As soon as you're done treating an area, hold your breath, enter, open doors and windows, set some fans up, and leave for at least one hour (depending on how long you were treating). Do NOT enter until you're sure its been properly ventilated. If you follow the safety instructions, this thing will destroy any and all odors and you will be so happy you bought it! It even works for cigarette smoke smells! Total game changer!!

Ozone generators are legitimate, quality purifiers and sanitizers. I had to do some research to understand how they work, ultimately they oxidize contaminants. This can eliminate most odors and pathogens. In fact, I work at a fire department and these are what we use to sanitize ambulances after certain calls. The ozone penetrates into the tiniest of spaces and kills germs of all kinds.Please note that ozone can be a serious irritant however, do not use in any space that will be occupied without first airing it out. That means that this would not be appropriate for general home use on any regular basis, but may be helpful to eliminate infrequent smoke, pet, mildew, or other such odors. You absolutely must stay out of space during use and air it out afterword.I would also note that it uses high voltage and can have some perfectly normal internal sparking so do not use anywhere there's gas fumes.I have used it to remove odor from a car we purchased and it worked great for that need.
