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.

Eliminate Skunk Odor Under Your House or in a Shed

Remove Skunk Odor
As the weather heats up, animal control companies get more calls about skunks living under the house or in a shed. The animals have wintered at your property and now spring sets into motion the mating cycle. Skunk odor is usually the way most homeowners learn about the unwelcome guests in the first place. Although an animal control specialist can remove the skunks from your property, eliminating the skunk smell is another matter.

Understanding the Makeup of Skunk Smell

Unlike other scents, the spray of a skunk is difficult to remove because it contains sulfur. Combined with hydrogen, the chemical makeup of the scent further involves the presence of a CH2 complex. This combination puts it in the same league as the thiols used to add odor to natural gas or propane. If you have ever smelled these products, you know that masking the scents with sprays or other methods is impossible.

Safe Odor Removal with Ozone

Rather than trying the old wives’ tales involving tomato juice and stale beer, give ozone a try. Because the generator technology splits the O2 molecule that allows for the recombination into O3 ozone, the highly volatile molecule now reacts with the sulfur-containing skunk smell on a molecular level. Breaking up the structure of the smell itself, ozone does not mask the scent or super-impose an even smellier odor, but it eliminates the molecules that cause it.

Depending on the size of your crawlspace or shed, you may be able to use the Rainbowair 500 Series II, which treats rooms measuring between 500 square feet and 1,500 square feet. This product has been created for the hotel industry, is portable and provides you with an ozone output of up to 500mg per hour.
