Questions about Ozone treatment

What is ozone treatment?

Ozone treatment is a controlled supplementary process for certain interior odours. It does not replace cleaning the source of the odour.

What is ozone used for?

After suitable source cleaning, it can supplement treatment of smoke, pet or other persistent odours. Causes of mould require separate professional treatment.

Is ozone treatment safe?

Only when performed correctly: no people or animals may be inside during treatment, and requirements for dosage and subsequent ventilation must be followed.

How long does ozone treatment take?

Duration and concentration depend on the cabin, contamination, equipment and process. A universal timing cannot replace professional assessment.

Must the vehicle be ventilated afterwards?

Yes. The vehicle is ventilated thoroughly and used again only after the process has been completed correctly.
