5 Surprising Uses for Ozone Generators

Before we get to the good stuff, let’s have a quick science lesson. Ozone Generators produce a gas called Ozone. Pretty straightforward, right?

Ozone is a naturally occurring gas that is made up of three oxygen atoms. It’s pretty unstable but in a good way. Unstable and good are rarely used in the same sentence, but give me a chance to explain.

Oxygen is made up of two atoms. An Ozone generator uses electrical charges to change oxygen from the air by breaking it down into atoms, then combining three of those oxygen atoms to make Ozone.

This third atom is the unstable atom. It will quickly jump ship when it comes into contact with a pathogen in the air. It attacks the pathogen, particle, bacteria, or virus until they are both destroyed. At the end of this whole process, the only things remaining are those two Oxygen atoms.

Thanks for making it through that science chat. Now that you have the basics on Ozone and how generators produce it, we can get to the good stuff.

Unexpected Ways Ozone Generators Can Make Your Life Easier

1.  

Critter Control

In high concentrations, ozone can kill common household pests like cockroaches and small rodents in closed quarters.

Ozone works by breaking down cells. This breakdown is harmful and ultimately deadly to any unwanted small creatures lurking around your home or business. What’s even better? Ozone kills these critters without the use of any harmful chemicals, making it a green alternative to pesticides.

2.    Car Detailing

Whether you run a detailing business, car dealership, or just appreciate a clean car, a small Ozone generator is a must for any car cleaning kit.

Ozone kills smoke and other odor-causing air pollutants on contact. You read that right. Unlike air fresheners and other “cleaners” ozone doesn’t just cover up odors. It gets rid of them for good.

A generator, like our PRO-8 or PRO-44, will work wonders in even the smelliest of cars after a 2-3 hour run.

3.  

Cleaning Up After Guests

Whether you’ve had an extended stay guest at home, run a bed and breakfast, or own a hotel chain, an ozone generator is a great investment. Guests often have a lax attitude about house or hotel rules and can leave a lingering odor in their wake.

Did they bring a smelly pet or sneak the occasional nighttime smoke? No worries, an ozone generator cleans both air and fabric fibers of odor-causing pollutants. Have your home or guest room back to smelling fresh in no time. As a bonus, ozone will disinfect the air and surfaces, too.

4.    Making That New House a Home

Nothing is worse than smelling someone else’s lingering odors in your new home for weeks after you’ve moved in. Make an ozone generator part of your pre-move cleaning routine to truly get those odors gone for good.

5.    Covid-19

Studies have shown that ozone generators can decrease the potency of Covid-19 viruses by up to 90%, even when used in low concentrations over time.
