What is ozonation and how does it work?
Ozonation is a method of purifying air and surfaces using ozone gas ($O_3$), a powerful natural oxidizer. Unlike air fresheners, which merely mask odors, ozone acts at the molecular level.
The ozone molecule contains one “extra” oxygen atom, which easily detaches and attaches to pollutant molecules. The resulting chemical reaction (oxidation) completely destroys the pollutant’s structure, converting it into harmless oxygen, water, and carbon dioxide.
The main advantages of ozonation:
- Permeability: The gas fills the entire room, penetrating into the smallest cracks, pores of furniture, and ventilation ducts.
- Sterilization: Ozone is 3,000 times more effective than chlorine in combating viruses, bacteria, and fungi.
- Eco-friendliness: The procedure leaves no chemicals or toxic residues.
Problem #1: Removing Cigarette Odor
The smell of tobacco smoke is one of the most persistent. Tar and nicotine deeply penetrate upholstered furniture, curtains, and even walls. If the room has been smoked for years, regular cleaning won’t do the trick.
Professional apartment ozonation in Kyiv allows you to completely refresh the air even in heavily smoked rooms in one or two sessions. This is an ideal solution before selling a property or after moving into a new home.
Problem #2: Mold, Mildew, and Their Spores
Mold is not only an aesthetic problem but also a serious health threat. Fungal spores are constantly floating in the air, causing allergies and asthma. Ozone destroys spores directly in the air and within materials where fungal growth is just beginning.
Important: Ozonation stops mold growth, but for full effectiveness, the cause of increased humidity in the room must be eliminated.
Problem #3: Pet Odor and Organic Contaminants
Even the cleanest pets leave behind distinctive odors. Cat markings or the “dog” smell after a walk eventually become part of the apartment. Ozone effectively oxidizes ammonia and urea molecules, providing complete antibacterial treatment.
Safety and Procedure Rules
Professional ozonation of rooms requires strict adherence to the following regulations:
- Absence of living creatures: There should be no people, animals, or houseplants in the room while the device is operating.
- Sealing: Windows and doors should be tightly closed.
- Ventilation: After completion, wait 30-60 minutes (ozone decomposition time), and then thoroughly ventilate the rooms.
