How To Naturally Get Rid Of Unwanted Odors
Every day, your home acquires new odors. Whether by cooking, making a mess, smoking, or having a pet, we contribute to the number of smells in our homes on a daily basis. While it is natural for every home to have its own scent, some of these smells can be offensive and unwanted. When you think of odor removal, your first instinct may be to reach for household cleaning supplies. However, there is a better solution that will save you time and benefit the environment.
Why Not Cleaners?
Household cleaners can be useful on many occasions, but when it comes to serious odor removal, odds are that they will not actually be able to solve your problems no matter how hard you work. Many scents are deeply embedded into furniture, fabrics, and surfaces throughout your home. No matter how hard you work, you will not be able to reach all of these odor sources- many of them being microscopic and invisible to humans.
Even if your house seems to have less odors after cleaning, chances are that the scents are just being masked by the cleaning products. Most cleaning solutions are full of chemicals that are harmful to the environment and your body. It is best to avoid exposing yourself to these harmful chemicals whenever possible.
Odor Removal With Ozone
Odor removal with ozone is a natural occurring cycle that happens by introducing an electrical current to standard oxygen molecules (O2), The machine in turn creates ozone (O3). Ozone contains an additional oxygen atom that is unstable and will break off from the molecule to attach itself to a pollutant at the first opportunity. Once the atom attaches to the pollutant, it begins to oxidize the pollutant, destroying the source of the odor.
You know the scent of fresh air after a thunderstorm? That is from ozone. Ozone is also formed by sunlight making its way into Earth’s atmosphere. Oxidation is a process that occurs in nature all the time, so it is safe and eco friendly. A machine is necessary to perform the oxygen-ozone conversion because our homes are protected from the elements, making it impossible for ozone to form naturally in our private spaces. Many scents are attached to dangerous microorganisms that humans are not even aware of. Scents can indicate mildew or mold in areas that we cannot see. These growths are destroyed during the oxidation process, making ozone more beneficial to your health than other cleaning solutions.
How Do I Use An Ozone Generator
All you have to do is set up the machine at the front of your house, turn it on, and it will do all the work. If the air conditioning is running, it will speed up the process of dispersing ozone all throughout the house and hard-to-reach places like air vents. The amount of time required for the entire odor removal process changes based on how large the space is and how heavy the scents are, but most spaces require somewhere between three and forty eight hours to completely remove unwanted odors. Treated areas will leave a pleasant scent odor free and leave you with peace of mind.
