Bacteria And Your Business: What You Can’t See Can Hurt You!

Problem

Queenaire Ozone Generators
Remove odors naturally without chemicals

If you happen to own a business which the public regularly visits it’s mandatory to kill bacteria from every source. Restaurants, hotels, retail establishments, etc., are petri dishes for bacteria growth. Your business’s appeal to the public and your financial liability are two of the main reasons for eliminating bacteria. Since “cost-effective” sounds like music to a business person’s ear, what affordable yet extremely thorough method is available?

Solution 

What you can’t see (bacteria) gets in every nook and cranny, so the solution must do the same. An ozone generator is the perfect solution for  odor problems a business must eliminate. Need reasons? Here’s some:

  • Ozone goes where air goes. Ozone generators produce ozone, a gas chemically related to oxygen. Ozone leaves the machine, goes wherever odor-causing gases are, and destroys them.
  • Ozone is colorless, yet “green”. Environmentally friendly anything is what’s not only trendy, but savvy in the business world. Ozone generators were employing “green” technology for odor removal back when green was just a color.
  • Workplace safety. Odor removal by chemical is the usual approach. While mainly effective, the biohazard possibilities for clients/customers as well as worker safety and liability issues exist. Unless you’re using an ozone generator. Ozone itself carries the rating “GRAS” (generally regarded as safe) by the Food And Drug Administration. Obviously, common sense must prevail when using it, as it is not an inhaler. Meaning, totally safe when used as directed. 
  • The air/attitude factor. A business that demands quality of its own working area, including the air itself, promotes and receives unspoken respect from its employees. A subliminal benefit of ozone “fresh air”.

   Next Step?

Business owners (and everyone else) who need foul odors gone now or just want to breathe the purest air must contact us for more eye-opening facts. Whether caused by bacteria or not, odor removal by ozone is vital for your business! 

Natural Indoor Odor Removal

Queenaire Ozone Generators

An Ozone Generator is a type of air cleaner that intentionally produces the gas called ozone. The machine can disinfect, deodorize, kill or remove toxic airborne particles in indoor spaces. Ozone sanitizes by breaking gown odors, microorganisms and other pollutants.

In order to use ozone safely, you should consider which problems you need to treat. Some important safety tips are:

  • Use a timer to switch on your ozone generator while a room is unoccupied
  • Do not smoke or work with open fire during ozone treatment
  • After an ozone treatment, the room must be ventilated for at least 15 minutes. Even short-term breathing of ozone in high concentrations may cause negative physiological effects

The generators create ozone (03) which is dispersed into the air to attack and destroy odors at their source. They are also effective at eliminating:

  • Paint odors
  • Decaying odors
  • Smoke damage odors
  • Mold and mildew
  • New construction odors
  • Pet Odors
  • Cooking Odors

Ozone completely destroys the offending gases that cause bad smells. The ozone generator is a purification system that does not rely on air passing through the machine; instead it produces a massive amount of ions. These ions make the dust agglomerate and discharge from the air.

Newaire Plugin Technology Cleans the Air in Enclosed Areas

Newaire Plugin Electronic Deodorizer

Pleasant odors can lift our spirits and improve our mood. The smell of coffee brewing or bacon frying can coax us out of bed in the morning. The scent of flowers or perfume may put is in a romantic frame of mind. Unpleasant odors can have the opposite effect. They can cause us to feel repelled and even cringe. Now you can make sure that only clean air is in your home with the Newaire Plugin Electronic Deodorizer.

We love our pets and may think they are wonderful, yet the smell we are used to may be unpleasant to others, and pet dander can be even worse. It may be because they are unpleasant, but bad odors seem to linger longer than the ones we like. Fortunately, those offensive indoor orders can easily be eliminated with the use of ozone generating air purifiers.

Ozone Generators

Ozone generators remove all unwanted odors from the air by destroying the molecules responsible, whether they are from mold, bacteria, smoke or other contaminants. Ozone (O3) is a reactive form of an oxygen molecule. It changes the chemical structure of pollutants so they are no longer offensive or harmful. Scented air sprays do not remove the odor causing particles from the air, they simply mask them by adding pleasant scents.

Homes

If you live in a home or apartment that has persistent and offensive odors from pets, food, tobacco smoke, mold, garbage or other sources, an ozone generator may be what is needed to allow you to breathe more easily. Ozone seeks out and destroys odors in the air. Ions created by coronal discharge cause dust particles in the air to clump into larger particles that fall to the ground to be vacuumed up.

Rooms

For cleaning the air in a single room, the Newaire Plugin Series of ozone deodorizers are effective for cleaning odors from up to 500 sq/ft of air. Simply plug the device into an electrical wall outlet and let it start to remove the unpleasant odors from the air. The air quality is improved by a freshening infusion of enhanced ionization. This may be especially helpful for some one who has difficulty breathing in polluted or pollen filled air.

Vehicles

You may have a vehicle that smells bad, such as a used car, truck, minivan or commercial vehicle. You may have an old RV that smells musty after sitting unused for several months. The Newaire Auto Series II can safely eliminate the offensive odors from up to 250 sq/ft, giving you and your passengers a much more pleasant experience. Just plug it into a DC outlet, and it will go to work cleaning the air. It may even save your vacation in the case of a musty RV.

As always, contact the Ozone Experts anytime for help with choosing the right product for your needs.

Eliminate Odor Naturally During National Care about Indoor Air Month

With National Care about Indoor Air Month in full swing, we wanted to spend a few moments this week taking about the topic. What many Americans may not be cognizant of is how big a problem indoor air pollution really is. So we decided to start off with a few shocking statistics and then talk about how to eliminate odor naturally.

According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, on a daily basis, each of us takes in roughly 3,000 gallons of air. For most of us, at least 16 hours of our day are spent indoors. Now couple that with the World Health Organization’s research. It indicates that poor indoor air quality contributes a notable amount to what’s known as the global burden of disease.

How much is a notable amount? In the early 2000s, when the last major study was conducted, the amount was 2.7 percent. At the time, the organization was also able to directly contribute indoor air pollution exposure to more than 1 million fatalities. That, in effect, made it one of the organization’s top 10 public health concerns.

Although it has been a while since another study of that magnitude was conducted, we doubt that much has changed for the better. After all, the results of the American Lung Association’s 2013 State of the Air Report were not something to celebrate. They indicated that more than 44 million human beings still live in areas around the globe that are known to have exceptionally poor outdoor air quality. So we can only imagine that indoor air quality in America still needs a lot of improvement too.

Thus, if you want to eliminate odors naturally from your environment during National Care about Indoor Air Month, we’d recommend buying an ozone generator. It will help improve your indoor environment immensely. For more information about securing one in time for National Care about Indoor Air Month, please contact us.

Don’t Let Hurricane and Flood Damage Leave Nasty Odors Behind

It seems like severe weather has been dominating the news cycle as of late. Hurricanes Harvey,  Irma and Maria have caused unprecedented damage in the Caribbean, Texas, Florida, Georgia and the Carolinas.  Unfortunately, the road to recovery will be a long one for those hit the hardest.

 

The type of property damage that occurs during weather disasters obviously varies. However, we can say one thing with a high degree of confidence. Storm related property damage often causes putrid odors that overtake homes and businesses.

 

Using an ozone generator or air purifier to remove odors and help with flood damage cleanup is a valuable option. The odor that occurs after water damage can happen as soon as a day or two after the flood damage.  The smell that you have to deal with will likely be mildew and/or mold.

Of course improving the air quality after severe weather is too tough a job for cans of aerosol spray. There are far too many odors and airborne particulate matter that may develop as a result of storm damage. Thus, it is best to attack them all naturally so no additional, potentially offensive items are introduced into the environment.

An ozone generator is a device that can get rid of the particulates that have been placed in the air.  They are specifically designed to remove odors associated with mold, mildew, bacteria, sewage and all of the other nastiness that washes into properties during flooding situations. However, they come in a variety of sizes. So it’s vital to choose one that is compatible with the size of the flood damaged area.

Ozone Generators Effectively Eliminate Odors from Homes and Businesses

Queenaire Ozone Generators
Today many people want to eliminate the odors in their homes that result from tobacco, pets, cooking, mold and more. Using sprays other types of air fresheners only masks the sent and do not eliminate them. In order to successfully remove odors from their homes many people use an ozone generator. It doesn’t mask these odors and actually destroys them.

According to an article in Ozone Journal, “Ozone removes odors by destroying the molecules, bacteria, and spores that cause unpleasant smells…Ozone is very quick to chemically react with particles that it comes into contact with in the air and on surfaces…extra oxygen atom in the ozone attaches itself to other molecules, chemically changing their structure to create non-offensive molecules – eliminating the smell”

Eliminates Strong Odors

An ozone generator can be used to eliminate the strongest smells from any enclosed area. They are designed to continuously find odor particle and eliminate them by turning them into carbon dioxide and oxygen. They can be used for rooms with plants, one that has suffered smoke damage and more.

Business

There are a variety of ways an ozone generator are used by businesses. Painters will use them to eliminate the smell of paint and primer from an area close to where people can be affected by the smell. Carpet installers will use them to remove the smell and unhealthy elements that come from new carpets. They are also used by building managers for a variety of purposes. Any professional who restores buildings after a flood, fire or other disaster will utilize an ozone generator.

Home

People who are moving into an apartment may want to have an ozone generator to eliminate any odors left by a previous tenant. People will want to use them for removing garbage or dumpster odors, bathroom odors and more. Any place in a building where there is undesirable odor is a place an ozone generator can eliminate it.

Eliminating Pet Odors in a Vet’s Office

Remove Pet Odor
A veterinarian’s office can collect quite a few offensive pet odors through the day. It can be very important for your business that your clients not be met with these smells when they walk through your doors.
Though a person would expect to smell the occasional dog or cat when they visit their local vet, they still expect it to smell clean and cared for when they walk into the reception area. Having a fresh, well-aired smell to your office can give clients more confidence in your practice by letting them know your staff is on the ball and keeping all the messes clean and away from the animals that are housed there.

Behind the scenes, you know there are many ways to accumulate nasty odors in your clinic. Parvo-stricken dogs (and other sick animals), the nervous fur-babies who are prone to accidents, a skunk-sprayed dog, and various surgeries can all make your office smell as though it hasn’t been cleaned in a month. You do your best to eliminate these odors with room sprays, candles, and other chemicals, but what if there was a way to help you get rid of them without having to worry about the chemicals or possible fire hazards?

An ozone generator, like the Rainbowair Activator, can be just the answer you’re looking for. The ozone molecule, by nature, will do one of two things as it starts to break down: it will either combine with an oxygen molecule, or it will combine with a gaseous element. When it combines with oxygen, it simple creates O2. When it combines with a gaseous element, it causes that gas to lose any odor it may have had.

If you have questions about how you can benefit from the science of ozone, please contact us. We look forward to hearing from you!

How Ozone Can Kill Bacteria and Remove Odors in the Process

what-is-ozone
The three oxygen atoms that make up ozone occur naturally. In fact, approximately 20 percent of the planet’s breathable air is made up of ozone. Yet there is more to this highly unstable molecule than meets the eye. Did you know that ozone will kill bacteria and do away with offensive odors in the process?
  • Ozone reacts with the cell walls of bacteria. Ohio State University experts recognize ozone as “a potent antimicrobial agent” that not only kills bacteria but also eradicates fungi, viruses and even parasites. Researchers discovered that the oxidative burst, which occurs when the ozone molecule reacts with bacterial cell walls, paves the way to further destruction of the undesired organism’s cellular components. This refers to bacterial genetic material, a wide variety of enzymes contained within the cell wall and the lipids that make up parts of the cell wall itself. Microorganisms cannot withstand this onslaught and die.
  • A destruction of bacteria results in odor removal. Offensive odors are usually the result of bacterial activity. For example, in the case of a smelly shoe closet, the bacteria that ingest sweat subsequently excrete acids that are exceedingly pungent. Thus, by destroying the odor-causing bacteria in the first place, any offensive odor you may notice in a home or business also gets removed.
  • Ozone may be created artificially. It is possible to artificially create ozone in the business or home environment. Newaire is a recognized leader in the plug-in technology field.Rainbowair makes units that serve the hotel industry as well as the manufacturing sector. Queenaire offers a wide variety of compact units, some of which are designed to continuously treat areas of up to 10,000 cubic feet. No matter what type of setting you envision, there is an ozone generator that is a perfect fit.

Unlike with antibiotics and chemical-based bacterial cleaners, it is not possible for the targeted microbes to develop a form of immunity to the oxidative burst. This knowledge is now being harness by physicians who have long been concerned over the increasing levels of hospital-acquired infections. Gizmag reports on Canada’s Queen’s University that is now experimenting with the use of ozone to kill difficult-to-eradicate and highly infectious bacteria.

At Ozone Experts, we understand that you do not want to use harsh and potentially dangerous chemicals to kill bacteria. Contact us today to discuss the types of ozone-generating products that would be perfect for your home or business. Losing offensive odors in the process is a welcome fringe benefit.

Property Managers Secrets for Dealing with Real Estate Odors

what-is-ozoneWhen you consider all the ways that homes become “odorous” it is easy to imagine that a property manager has come across smells that bewilder the average person. Pet smells, mold and mildew, old dirty diapers and all sorts of stuff to offend the nose are common when folks move out of a property. Before the home can be shown and re-rented it is important to make it look and smell like new.

The first step a property manager must take is to clean the home, everything from the windows and walls to the ceiling fans and blinds need to be washed with a disinfectant and antibacterial cleanser. Opening the windows and shampooing the carpets will go a long way toward letting the home air out and smell a bit better, sadly this is a first step to dealing with real estate odors but not necessarily enough.

Some property managers choose to place bowls of vinegar or lemon juice in the property overnight. Lemon leaves behind a fresh fruity scent but doesn’t really eliminate the bad odors and vinegar does neutralized odors and the vinegar smell fades quickly leaving what appears to be fresh clean air.

But the next time the manager visits, to show the property there is likely still a lingering bad odor. This can be completely remedied by installing ozone producing machines. Ozone generators create ozone which is also known as activated oxygen. The ozone produces is a natural way to eliminate odors completely instead of just covering them up.

While these machines are similar to air purifiers or air filters the difference is that the machine creates ions which go forth and destroy odorous molecules while air purifiers have to cycle the air through the machine to clean it. Contact us to learn more about how ozone generators could be the answer to your bad odors.

Successful property managers get empty units filled quickly, in order to make this happen they have to know a bit about removing real estate odors, cleaning, and covering up scents only works to freshen the home temporarily, the only way to make sure the smells don’t reappear after a few days is to completely purify the air molecules with an ozone generator.

Stale Home Odor Control Calls for the Rainbowair 500 Series II

rainbowair-activator-500-ozone-generator-5200-ii-800

A common misconception suggests that stale house odors occur in the room that holds the laundry hamper or the areas where teens hang out. In fact, it is common to walk into your home and be greeted by air that simply lacks freshness. Although there is not necessarily a bad smell, breathing in the air is unpleasant, and you feel self-conscious about inviting others into your home.

You may have attempted odor control in the form of scented sprays, candles or plug-ins. While these deodorizers briefly added a very distinct smell to your home, they failed to remove the stale smell that permeates your space. In an effort to combat the staleness in other ways, you probably cleaned the home, washed fabrics, removed uneaten foods and dusted everything.

Yet short of opening your windows every day for the time that you are home, you cannot keep the staleness at bay. In the winter, opening the windows is probably not a good option. Depending on where you are located in the country, it may also not be a good idea in the summer. Investing in Rainbowair 500 Series II machine for odor control can turn around the problem that you are experiencing.

This unit is a favorite of the hotel industry. It easily treats spaces of up to 5,000 square feet. Weighing only 12 pounds and providing you with a five-year warranty, this is the type of machine you can easily move and store as needed. With an output of 30 mg/hr to 500 mg/hr, you control whether you want the air to undergo cleansing during your absence or while at home.

The success of the machine’s method is due to the use of ozone. Whereas deodorizes simply add a scent to an already unpleasant smell in an effort to briefly overpower it, the Rainbowair 500 Series II destroys the gases causing the stale smell at the root. Whether the odor-causing elements hide in the ceiling material, the carpeting or the inside of cabinets, ozone bonds with the odor-causing molecules and destroys them.

The result of this odor control measure is the removal of stale air, not its cover up. In fact, breathing in after the machine has done its job will feel as though you had spent the entire day airing out the home – without opening even one window. Contact us today for more information on this and other units that control stale odors in your home or work environment.
