Ozone (O3) is a highly reactive form of oxygen composed of three oxygen atoms. Due to its oxidising properties, ozone can interact with odour molecules and airborne contaminants, making it useful in professional environmental treatment applications.
Our generators produce ozone using corona discharge technology, where electrical energy converts oxygen (O2) into ozone (O3).
Ozone cleaning is a professional, environmentally responsible process that uses ozone (O3) gas to sanitise, deodorise and oxidise many odour-causing compounds and airborne contaminants at a molecular level. By oxidising these compounds, ozone can help reduce unpleasant smells and improve environmental hygiene without leaving chemical residues.
Our machines generate ozone through a process called corona discharge. This involves passing electrical energy through a chamber containing oxygen, which splits the oxygen molecules (O2) into individual atoms. These oxygen atoms then combine with other oxygen molecules to form ozone (O3).
Many people notice a clean, fresh, slightly metallic scent after thunderstorms, which is partly associated with naturally occurring ozone in the atmosphere.
Ozone cleaning is highly effective at sanitising, destroying odours, and eliminating harmful pollutants, but it is not safe for humans, pets, or plants during treatment. Ozone is a respiratory irritant and can cause coughing, chest discomfort and aggravate existing respiratory conditions if appropriate safety procedures are not followed.
When carried out by trained professionals using appropriate safety procedures, ozone treatment can be used safely in controlled, unoccupied environments.
Ozone cleaning provides a fast and environmentally responsible method of reducing odours and improving environmental hygiene. It leaves no chemical residue and generally requires fewer resources than many traditional methods.
Ozone has been studied and applied across a wide range of sectors, including healthcare, hospitality, food processing and transportation, where odour control and environmental hygiene are important.
Yes, ozone cleaning can be used to sanitise and deodorise stationary air conditioning units. It is highly effective at eliminating bacteria, mould, fungi, and removing musty odours from the evaporator coils and internal components and may provide an effective alternative or complement to traditional cleaning methods. However, this process must be handled with extreme care because ozone is a powerful oxidant.
Same as with stationary air conditioning system, ozone can be used to sanitise vehicle interiors and air conditioning systems by circulating ozone gas through the ventilation system, breaking down odour-causing molecules, mould, bacteria and allergens in the air vents, evaporator, and cabin. It can also help eliminate food, smoke and damp-related odours.
For best results, it is recommended to use ozone treatment periodically for disinfection rather than as a daily air cleaner. The frequency of treatment depends on usage, environmental conditions and the presence of persistent odours.
As mentioned, ozone cleaning does not replace traditional cleaning when it comes to physical dirt. It sanitises and deodorises but it will not remove the root cause of the problem – this is often misinterpreted. For example, water ingress and damp smell. Ozone treatment will remove the odour issue but not water ingress problem.
Another example, odour appearing when using vehicle air conditioning. Ozone will remove it along with other unpleasant smells and disinfect the system but prior to treatment, it may be beneficial to inspect or replace the cabin filter and investigate potential sources of contamination.
Yes. The treatment area should be cleaned, vacuumed and any rubbish removed beforehand. This helps maximise the effectiveness of the treatment.
No. Under no circumstances should anyone enter the treatment area during the process. Ozone is a harmful respiratory irritant and can cause lung irritation, chest pain, coughing and worsen asthma if safety procedures are not adhered to. Appropriate warning signage will be clearly displayed - “STOP HIGH CONCENTRATION OZONE TREATMENT IN PROGRESS DO NOT ENTER”.
The time required for ventilation and safe re-entry varies depending on factors such as room size, ventilation and ozone concentration. As a general guide, ventilation and safe re-entry may require approximately one and a half times the treatment duration, although this varies depending on environmental conditions.
Ozone cleaning can help reduce many microorganisms and unpleasant odours. It is chemical-free, environmentally responsible and leaves behind no chemical residue – just a fresher environment.
There are several conditions that are required for ozone treatment to work and be effective. The two most important factors are temperature and humidity. Optimal values are temperature between 10°C – 25°C and humidity between 40% - 60%. We assess environmental conditions before treatment to ensure they are suitable and optimise treatment effectiveness.
Treatment duration depends on several factors including the size and layout of the treatment area and the nature and severity of the odour or contamination being addressed. Every environment is different, which is why treatment times can vary considerably.
Our professional ozone generators are capable of treating environments ranging from vehicle interiors and hotel rooms to large commercial spaces. Treatment duration is determined individually following assessment of each environment.
Yes, it can. However, the answer to this question depends on the circumstances. For example, for best results, it is recommended to use ozone treatment periodically for sanitisation every 6 months. Ozone treatment can help reduce odours and may help reduce mould spores, bacteria and allergens present within the environment.
In situations involving persistent odours or damp smells, more than one treatment may occasionally be required. It is important to mention that in both cases, it would be recommended to investigate the root cause of the issue. Ozone will sanitise and help eliminate any odour, but it will not fix the issue of the damp itself.
Another example would be ozone treatment required in an area affected by flood or fire. Treatment required in these circumstances is far more complex, requires certain conditions to be met for treatment effectiveness and in many cases, it must be repeated several times to help restore the environment following the incident.
Ozone (O3) is a highly reactive gas composed of three oxygen atoms, existing both naturally in the upper atmosphere and as a pollutant at ground level. It acts as a protective shield against solar UV radiation in the stratosphere but is a harmful respiratory irritant and key component of smog at the Earth's surface.
Ozone cleaning is a professional, eco-friendly method using ozone (O3) gas or aqueous ozone to sanitise, deodorise, and break down contaminants at a molecular level without chemicals. It effectively eliminates pathogens; mould, bacteria, and viruses, and removes strong odours (smoke, pets) by oxidizing them, making it ideal for air purification, water treatment, and fabric sanitization.
Our machines generate ozone through a process called corona discharge. This involves passing electrical energy through a chamber containing oxygen, which splits the oxygen molecules (O2) into individual atoms. These atoms then combine with other oxygen molecules to form ozone (O3).
In everyday life, you can sometimes smell ozone after a thunderstorm. Clean, fresh, sterile, slightly metallic scent forms in the atmosphere when lightning passes through oxygen. It is more noticeable when storms are intense, with lots of lightning and strong downdrafts bringing air from higher altitudes where ozone is more concentrated.
Ozone cleaning is highly effective at sanitizing, destroying odours, and eliminating harmful pollutants, but it is not safe for humans, pets, or plants during treatment. As powerful as it is, it can cause lung irritation, chest pain, coughing, and worsen asthma if safety procedures are not adhered to, hence treatment area must be vacated and aired out thoroughly after treatment.
In summary, ozone cleaning is effective for disinfection in empty, controlled environments, and safe when health and safety practices are followed.
Ozone cleaning offers a faster, eco-friendly alternative to traditional methods, using ozone gas or aqueous ozone to neutralize stubborn odours without chemicals. It is safer for environments, leaving no toxic residue, whereas traditional cleaning often relies on harsh chemicals, fragrances, and requires more water.
Yes, it is very effective, hence ozone is widely used across industries as it provides powerful sanitisation and disinfection. In health care for instance, it is common to use ozone to decontaminate hospital rooms and clinical environments, and control of pathogens including bacteria, viruses and mould. In food industry, it is used to sanitise food processing equipment and to control odour and bacteria in cold storage. These are just two examples, but there are more where ozone is applied for its effectiveness.
Yes, ozone cleaning can be used to disinfect and deodorize stationary air conditioning units.

Another example, odour appearing when using vehicle air conditioning. Ozone will remove it along with other unpleasant smells and disinfect the system but prior to treatment cabin filter should be replaced and air inlet canals investigated for dirt residue as this is often overlooked.
In essence, ozone cleaning is highly effective, it eliminates pathogens and odours, it is chemical-free and environmentally friendly, leaving no residue behind – just purified air.
Yes, treatment area should be vacuumed, bins emptied and rubbish disposed of. Thanks to that treatment will be more effective.
Yes, it can. However, the answer to this question depends on the circumstances. For example, for best results, it is recommended to use ozone treatment periodically for disinfection every 6 months. It will eliminate mould, bacteria, and allergens as well as damp, food, pet and smoke odours.
In situation when you experience issue with heavy odour or damp smell, treatment may be required more than once. It is important to mention that in both cases, it would be recommended to investigate the root cause of the issue. Ozone will disinfect and eliminate any odour, but it will not fix the issue of the damp itself.
Another example would be ozone treatment required in an area affected by flood or fire. Treatment required in these circumstances is far more complex, requires certain conditions to be met for treatment effectiveness and in many cases, it must be repeated several times to restore pre-incident environment.
No, you must not under no circumstances. Ozone is a harmful respiratory irritant and can cause lung irritation, chest pain, coughing, and worsen asthma if safety procedures are not adhered to. “STOP HIGH CONCENTRATION OZONE TREATMENT IN PROGRESS DO NOT ENTER” sign will be clearly displayed, and you will not be allowed to enter the treatment area until the process is completed and area thoroughly aired after treatment. In addition, ozone concentration levels will be checked to ensure safe re-entry.
Length of time required to ventilate and air the treatment area is on average time and a half of the treatment process itself. We can support and speed the process of ventilation by using our high-output floor fans reducing post-treatment wait time by half, subject to satisfactory ozone concentration level reading.
