How to Eliminate ALL ODORS with an Ozone Machine

- There is a lot of confusion in the air purifier market between air ionizers, air purifiers and ozone generators. They all have their respective place, but it is best to know what they are intended for. Ionizers are generally the same as a typical air purifier in that they have several layers of filtration to clean your indoor air. They differ in the fact that they attach negatively charged ions onto positively charged dust and allergen particles. By attaching to the dust, the negatively charged ions cause the particles to drop out of the air in front of your ionizer unit. Your car’s HVAC system is similar to a regular air purifier as it has a filtered element at the beginning of the HVAC unit (outside & recirculate) to clean the air as best as it can, but it doesn’t kill any bacteria or bad odors.
Ozone generators on the other hand, are not air filters. There are basically two methods of producing ozone; through ultra-violet or corona discharge. Corona discharge creates ozone by applying high voltage to a metallic grid sandwiched between two dielectrics. The high voltage jumps through the dielectric to a grounded screen and in the process, creates ozone from oxygen present in the chamber. Ultra-violet (UV) light creates ozone when a wavelength at 254 nm (nanometers) hits an oxygen atom. The molecule (O2) splits into two atoms (O), which combine with another oxygen molecule (O2) to form ozone (O3).
If you were to smoke in your car, or spill something, it will leave a scent behind. No matter how much you spot clean or shampoo your interior, there will always be traces of it left behind. The typical, yet improper way to make the interior more pleasant is to buy air fresheners to MASK the scents. Air fresheners add an initial strong fragrance to the air, which is more powerful and pungent than the original smell, but they eventually will wear off and the smoke smell will be back in no time. Putting an air freshener in your car is a short time band-aid to a problem. There is only one PROPER way to remedy the problem, and that is by using an Ozone generator.
Buying one of these Ozone generators will cost you much less than hiring someone to do it for you. Given you watch this video and follow the precautions, you will be able to safely remove odours from your car. Buy the tool once, and have it for life.

Tips: Turn on the car and run recirculated air.... Yank out all of the seatbelts fully.... open the center console(s).... open the glove box... pull down the mirrors.... stand up the floor mats on the floor to allow for air circulation underneath.... don't run the OG right after detailing with shampoos, cleaners, scents, armor all, etc. because the OG will attack EVERY smell in the car and you want it to fully focus on the main source of the problem: i.e. cigarette smoke
Great advice, thanks a lot.
Should I Use it before the detail?
@@BabyxPluto Get as much of the offending items out of the car as possible.
You can vacuum first, but don't spray anything at all in the car before the ozone generator. The ozone generator will cling to ANY smells in the car, so any sort of deodorizer you spray will be 100% counter-productive.
Clean the car, vacuum it out, run the ozone generator, then do whatever else you need to do......period.
mate, this was a super super informative video, thanks a lot! great job
I bought one of these to help clean out a horrible smell that was created in my car from a leaking battery(one I forgot I was carrying in my car) The only thing I never did was was turn on the car and run the AC.. But did this before finding your video.. Love this stuff I love the offshoot of what this can do.. It kills bugs..
You actually gave a pretty good description of how that process works!
I love your videos they are always things that normal people wouldn’t think of
Fantastic video! Good pacing, composure, explanations, and step by step info 😊
Nope, filled with inaccuracies.
I watched several videos on this subject and yours is by far the most informative and enjoyable to watch. Thank you for your helpful information.
this is actually how you shouldn't use that machine. mrmiked6577 it says how it should be done, corectly!
Great video and explanation. I also just did my ozone treatment and forgot to run the car and use the rec. I guess this will help but no big deal...car still smell good and no more smoke odors.
Really clear and concise video! Thank you.
For better results, turn your fan on high, direct air to all vents, and set to recirculate.
^^This guy 100%
My car doesn't have a recirculate option =(
That should help with the deodorization of the ventilation. corcuit
Could you run an ozone machine from the cigarette lighter socket and a power inverter?
Game Channel set the dial to max ac... max ac means recirculate 👍
Interesting, never knew about this. I thought once a car had a bad odor that you were pretty much screwed. Can’t wait for the exterior detail videos.
Not really if you can clean your car and let it air out sometimes it’ll do it by itself I’ve seen it happen
@@davidjackson9680 thank you for responding 3 years later Joshua!
@@user-vv6ns5dw4v If you're being facetious, that's kind of how successful CZcams videos work for residual income and the best thing is recent comments often give info people are wondering about. If not being facetious, cheers! 😁
@Saul Schitman gotta do it to em sometimes, Saul
Disinfecting the carpet and seats usually gets rid of the smell, unless there is mold underneath carpet or something
I ran one of these for 2 hours in a tiny car that had had a chain smoker in it, and still had to go back for a second treatment it was so bad - but they do work. Best money I ever spent.
Dang that's crazy that you needed to run it for that long! Glad it worked out 👍
@@milanmastracci Should have also said - great video! Wished I'd seen it prior to doing it myself, but yeah - to anybody watching this with a stinky car, get one, it's a game changer.
Does it kill the danger of the third hand smoke? I would still be concerned about the residual nicotine and tar that is left with the ash, even if you can’t smell it
You manage to get the residual ozone smell out too?
@@born2xplore211 *BOO!*
Good video, well explained and great camera !
Your videos are awesome. Keep making such videos, you deserve millions of subs.
hey its josh techgamer here I wanted to say love the channel man I been fixing up my car and detailing its fun I have 03 Honda civic em2 well if I have question let you know keep up great work.
Thank you for the statement of caution
Very informative and appreciate the safety details well done.
Nice man, I am running a 5 Gr. per hr. unit and it has been removing odors (my pipe smoke) from my camper for 3 yrs. sucessfully, now its in my 2012 f150 i just bought that smelled of dog and smoke. I quit smoking and can smell everything!! Thanks for giving me the time frame,as I wasn't sure.
how did it turn out in the truck?
Great information and detailed explanation, without being boring. FYI, Ozone is three oxygen atoms, which together make one molecule of ozone.
No shit Sherlock
@@TacoMonster4eva Save it Skippy, You didn't even watch the whole video. You're just embarrassing yourself now.
Milan with that chemistry lesson, haha 👍👍
that rat hiding in my car is gonna get it
Did he get it, Dimitri? We wanna know.
Bro please reply, did you get it?
I think the rat got him guys...
@@666kkf *rat noises*
Guys rat ate dimitri 😔😔
Brilliant mate. Yes turn on the fan on recirculate .it will lean the ducts too.
Make sure you yo do not breathe the Ozone in ,do the whole operation outside.
This was really well done and informative - Thanks so much!!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
thank you for answering my questions
Wow simple and direct instructions. I like it and subscribed.
I enjoyed your tutorial very much. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Man you made it easy for me to understand how this process works. I just ordered an ozone generator to hopefully remove cigarette smoke smell from my car I just bought. It's absolutely horrible, I bought the car online sight unseen.. I'll never do that again. Thanks for the video, I'll let you know when I use the generator and the results. 👍
Hi, i have the same issue , did it work?
Thx
When you said that you were planning on doing this video i looked for similar ones and one of then said that you should not do it inside a garage , the machine was outside the car and the air conditioning on to circulate the air and when the machine is done working you should let the car sit all close and air conditioning off baking in the sun so the O3 molecules work better . i just saw that video and thought could help . keep up with the great work .
If you are referring to the video by Dallas Paint Correction and Auto Detailing please take what that guy says with a grain of salt. I've detailed professionally for over 20 years and 75-80% of what that guy says is his own conspiracy theory BS and the other 20% is pushing the products he is sponsored by. This video is spot on.
good idea Milan!!
Thanks. I have been looking for a comprehensive explanation...
Samcrac covered this topic quite well the other week.
i did this to my house. Works like a charm.
For best results replace your cabin filter under the dash or wherever it is.
0:50 ChrisFix Vibes right here :D
what about other CZcams videos saying that in order for the ozone generator to work properly it has to be a ducted system. do I really need it or your generator will do the job? thanks
never heard about it , cool thanks !
gonna take a bong hit of that sweet sweet ozone...
great vid, def gotta run the car on recirculate to get the air cabin and ducts as well
Ionic pro you can find at Goodwill for under $15 one of the most overlooked genuine ozone generators
Best videos I've watched on this are on point with the weird smell after. I'll give you a bullseye, it's what you smell like after visiting a patient in the hospital. So it can't be so bad but now I know.
Is it fine to leave the car engine on during this process ? I intend to clean the filters as well.
Something tells me that milan has already detailed his extedior !! Look at that car glow !
Hermon Basil yeah but i think that he will also address that smal rust-spot on the driver's side fender as well
I absolutely love the chemistry lesson you gave on oxygen molecules
Do you think I should take the cabin air filter out before running the ozone generator? That was recommended in other videos.
Super helpful video and great explanation
Best vid yet man 💪💪
Great vid bro! Couldn't of done it any better.
i'm surprise that you touch some of the theory to explain it. And you were able to do it simplistic 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 congrats!
Glad you liked it!
Abs this won't mess up and electrical components??
I use one in my house and if I leave it on to long the stereo, TV will act up
Great video!
Thank you so much my man, you have no idea how much money you have saved me up from this video!
I'm happy to hear that Luis!
Corona Discharge?!! Hell no 😂
🤣🤣🤣 can i take of a passenger body odor 😁😁😁😁😆
hahahhahahahahahhahaahah
🤪
It's electrical engineering speak, Corona (a crown) is just the shape of the ions or some shit
Corona discharge is just considered a sneeze now-a-days
I put circulation on and also the other options where air blows on the top of the dash and the down the feet. Also with AC and car running. Was that wrong? Should I only have had circulation on?
Ozone is a pretty good band tbh.
Really though, yeah this is the best nuclear option for bad smells. I have my dad's old electrical books and family pictures. He didn't even smoke in his house and they smell like stale smoke. I wish we had air freshener that stuck as well as that.
Hello. Im getting ready after a good cleaning and all good and dry. Im going to ozone this tahoe BUT it dose have all black with black leather seats and was wondering if the ozoning could have an effect on the black color interior 🤔
Amazing. Extremely high voltage breaking down the oxygen in the air. You can see this phenomenon on high voltage power lines (towers 500kv preferably) on a clear night. The lines will have a purple silhouette around them.
You’re a dumbass
@@bobbyb608 lol
@@brettbrillhart3386 *laughs in lineman
Two cans of fuel injector additive got spilled in the interior of my truck in 2004. This produced a petroleum odor so bad that even with all the windows rolled down it was unbearable. And so I had it O-Zone treated. It worked! There was a slight O-Zone smell for about a day or two. But after that it was gone. But thanks for the heads up! Now I know that O-Zone can be harmful to us as well.
How do you remove the O behind the steering wheel
Excellent video, am just about to order a machine to get the "dead wet dog" smell out of my Subaru Forester. (Never had a dead, wet dog in there, it just smells that way)
How did that happen by the way?
Philip Squire
Did it work for you
Thinking about getting one. I have a car with t-tops that leak when it rains. I've had it steam cleaned and it still has a funk to it.
should we putting the generator on window and closing the gap with cardboard/tape so it can get oxygen from outside ? or leave it in the car / room in house and leave the window door close ?
I ozoned my rumpus room with a fairly large ozone machine. After about 4 hours I came back to turn it all off, and the room had a real fine misty cloudy air in room , it certainly smelt like ozone. My question is was it destroying virus or bacteria
And 1 more thing I bought a little unit for the box like water purification water I have , how long is safe to use please
Indigo.
Great video thank you
Great explanation
I Love my Ozone generator in any part of my home that stinks. I also make sure it is concealed in that area. I want it to work in a confined space and it works.
Good explanation. Well done.
Glad you enjoyed it
does the O3 will oxidize the dash board and cloth interior ? 🤔
Very informative!
Great video, but it is not working for me in my newly acquired 2017 VW Passat. Love this car, but the plug in air freshener stink is killing me! I've used it 2 times, 30 minutes each with windows closed, car running with AC/heat vents on. Next step is replacing the cabin filter. How many times is it safe to use this in a car without causing harm to the interior? And I wonder if I should leave the windows closed for a short time after the unit shuts off. I immediately aired it out.
no answer yet from anyone?
You should set ac off but with fan on recirculation active
What’s the longest you can set the ozone generator on for?
As you said, ozone is quite toxic. The odor threshold is just 0.1 ppm and according to NIOSH, that's a harmful level to be breathing in for any significant time interval; a few seconds may be OK but not a few hours. Activated carbon (not just charcoal) can be effective as a respirator medium if you have to work in it. But using the methods you suggest, everything should be fine without that. I would not do this in my garage or any enclosed space but rather outdoors to make sure that any ozone released doesn't get into my living environment. When the O3 molecule breaks apart, free radicals (unpaired electrons) are generated and they are highly reactive at an atomic level and that's what makes this so aggressive in attacking odor-causing (potentially airborne) organic molecules that can get into your nose and create an olfactory nerve response the brain registers as a smell perception. Such compounds are going to be low enough in molecular weight as to create enough vapor pressure to be smellable.
Nice video man! Also you can DIY this generator if you are a little bit handy...
Does it get rid of the smell of mould from milk ?
I think the procedure is fine but I would NOT do that inside a closed garage! Better do this outdoors, or keep the garage door open all the time. Also be very careful when approaching the vehicle and opening the doors after the machine has been shut down! Ozone is very toxic and can irritate your lungs badly. Wait at least one hour before sitting in the vehicle to drive it away, and this is after you opened all the doors to let the ozone go away. Ozone progressively turns into oxygen and every 30 minutes or so, half of the original ozone has disappeared. So the longer you wait, the better. Also, temperature has an effect on the speed with which ozone breaks down into oxygen. Thanks.
No I think he should sit in the car with the doors closed and windows up
I need it on my nissan titan. Has a flaw when you use the air conditioner it collectors water somewhere and now my vents blew out a weird smell that made me sneeze. Its most likely mold. My car smells a little now and I never use my air conditioner now. How do I get to get into the vents?
You just need to run the air conditioning with recirculation mode on. That takes the ozone from the car interior and runs it through the ducts. If you have a leak or something though, you will need to get that repaired to stop future mold from growing.
1:30 Sweet sandblaster ya got there
Very informative thank you so much .
Glad it was helpful!
Ooooo. That blasting cabinet looks like it needs a friend *raising hand*
Suggestion for erata: Halftime for O3 in air at room temp is 25H, not half an hour. Half-time in water is 10-30 depending on temperature. The ozonemashine just uses a bit of electricity. Just ventilate well afterwards, as ozone may damage eyes and lungs if concentrated. Can also be used to exterminate bugs!
You should have the ignition on and the AC set to recirculate with medium/high fan speed. Connecting a battery charger is a good idea while you do this.
How long should you do that with everything running
True. I have car ozone and it really works.
@7:12 FACTS!! Excellent video
Someone I know with multiple chemical sensitivities like me did ozone treatment on a smelly used car and it got worse. Maybe the machine was run too long and the Plastic materials also broke down releasing toxic byproducts. I ran my machine for 3 hours twice on a small office space and it took our the smoke smell. Def be careful and not run it too long.
yeah. I had it too on my car. It kinda freshened up the interior for a week or two, but the smell came back eventually. So it works...but not really?! :)))
Do you have to have the car running the whole time with the a/c blowing? Thx
I had my car bioswept and now there is a strong fragrance so strong almost worse than the smoke smell ! It seems to be coming when I turn the AC on though ? I had one of these machines I have to find it , will it help for the smell coming from AC ?
Should that machine be used to remove smell from the ventilation system?
Thank you so much for this informative video. Purchased a pre-owned 2016 Ford Focus SE ten days ago from a Toyota dealership. Car looked like new. Three days later opened the door to meet a friend for lunch and the stale smoke odor emanated from the car. It has been masked for two days. I was actually sick as I am allergic to fresh and stale cigarette smoke. I contacted the dealership but received a run around. Said I could bring it the following Tuesday as they only do smoke removal on those days. The dealership is 25 miles away and I had no way to get back home. My vehicle has been sitting in the drive. I have viewed numerous videos but this is the only one that has given me hope. The car is already detailed. All I need to do is remove the smoke. Will order from Amazon and PRAY.
Did it work ?
Does this machine remove moldy mildew smell ??
Question. Does ozone get rid of the smell of cleaning chemicals such as chlorine? Thanks
were can you get a mask for the ozone safety very good information thank you
How did you get so smart? :) This is really a basic education for everyone.
Hi everybody. I just bought ozone generator 3.5g/h to use in car. Do you know is it safe to plug it in to 12v to 220v power inverter? Generator is only 55W and inverter is up to 300W so technically it should be possible. But my concern is safety. Is ozone flammable or explosive in case of electric short. I see everybodys using external power source through the window.
I can verify that this machine works, actually I purchased a bigger one for my house. I had a mold smell due to hurricane Ian back in 2022 and after just 4 hours of this machine being on it removed all those smells. No one can be in the home during this and this includes live plants and animal. Then you need to air it out for a day, they say 2 hours, and I guess that's cool but there was a distant smell. It's also good to run the central air fan if you have that system in your house because it clears out the odors from the duct work as well.
I heard if you run it for too long it can cause a permant nasty chemical smell. Did you have any issues with that? Your mold smell ever come back.??
@@22chachalaca The guy at the store recommended that I run it for 4 hours. That was exactly the time it ran for. I had to remain outside the home for a solid day after turning it off. The mold smell has not returned, and it really saved my house, no doubt.
Hey
Im trying to remove the bad ac smell what settings should i use i have a 10.000mg machine. I already let the machine run 3 times interior doesnt smell to molt anymore but the ac is still smelling bad not extremely bad anymore but still smelling to molt.
Good information
When are you going to continue the mini
When I worked for an Ambulance company, we got called to the local nursing home often. Naturally these places smell, I did notice perminate units of ozone machine running all the time.
thank you man
I am running that exact model as we speak in a truck I bought. i have no idea if the person who owned it never heard of a shower or if they had rabies and were afraid of water but an entire can of lysol, two cans of OZIUM, an entire bottle of febreeze and it did not touch this smell it was horrendous and this was after a professional detailing. I am so hoping this works it has 10 minutes to go I sat it on 35 minutes roughly. *Update* After using the device I can no longer smell the odor of unwashed butt, crotch, fast food, and wet dog but the one issue I did run into is that in the summer it is so humid that getting the ozone to air out is a bit tricky when the air is as thick as pea soup even with fans. Unless you live in an area where it is always humid like here I would recommend doing this on a dry hot day. When it totally vents out I will see if that smell is gone. If it is this will be a miracle machine. Second Update: After the ozone smell was gone and in the hot sun the smell returned. I pounded it 4 more times and it did not go away.
“Or if they had rabies” 😂😂
Did you ever get rid of it?
@@Awsme Yes but I had to sell the truck to do it. As for the smell it was pungent as day one no matter what I did. I ran so much ozone through the truck the rubber was messing up and I used UV lamps which faded all the seats and the dash the smell never came out
@@lowlandraised7266 damn that’s unfortunate… Well I’ll definitely learn from your experience. If the car smells I won’t be buying it that’s for sure😂
@@Awsme this is a smart idea because I think it may be a surface smell but you just never know. A friend of mine just bought a vic that reaks of weed and we are trying to get that smell out and it is not happening. I think he is about to sell it. Some smells just stay, especially weed and BO.
Will it work on one of those cars that someone smoked constantly in for years? I have a hard time believing anything would get that out.
If done correctly, then yes. How long they smoked in the car isn't really changing the volume of contaminants that a given surface can hold, and also the chemistry of oxidization will work the same, regardless of the age of the smell.
