Frequently Asked Questions
Odor Removal

-
What is ozone odor removal?Ozone odor removal is a process that uses ozone gas to neutralize and eliminate odors from spaces. Ozone molecules break down the compounds causing unpleasant smells, leaving the area fresh and clean.
-
What types of odors can ozone treatment remove?Ozone treatment is highly effective at removing odors from smoke, pets, mold, mildew, cooking, and any other organic smells. It also works well in spaces like homes, vehicles, and commercial buildings.
-
How long does an ozone treatment take?Treatment times vary depending on the size of the space and the severity of the odor. On average, treatments take between 1 and 8 hours.
-
Is ozone treatment safe?Yes, when used correctly. During the treatment, no people, pets, or plants should be present in the space. After treatment, the area must be ventilated for at least 30-60 minutes before re-entry.
-
Can I stay in the area during treatment?No, leaving the area during ozone treatment is important. Ozone can be harmful if inhaled in high concentrations.
-
Do I need to prepare the area before treatment?Yes. Remove pets, plants, and any items that could be sensitive to ozone. Close windows and doors for an effective treatment, and ensure ventilation is possible afterward.
-
How do I know when it's safe to re-enter the treated area?After the treatment is completed, wait at least 30-60 minutes for ozone levels to return to normal. Our team will provide clear instructions based on the treatment.
-
Can ozone treatment remove mold odors?Yes, ozone effectively neutralizes odors caused by mold and mildew. However, it does not eliminate the source of mold; professional remediation is recommended for severe cases.
-
Is ozone treatment effective for cars?Absolutely. Ozone can penetrate car interiors to remove smoke, food, and pet odors. It's a popular solution for vehicles.
-
Can ozone treatment prevent odors from returning?Ozone eliminates existing odors but cannot prevent new ones from forming. Keeping the area clean and addressing odor sources can help maintain freshness.

-
What is thermal fogging?Thermal fogging is an odor removal method that uses heat to create a dry fog of deodorizing particles. These particles penetrate deeply into porous materials, neutralizing odors at their source.
-
How is thermal fogging different from ozone treatment?While ozone treatment uses gas to eliminate odors by breaking down molecules, thermal fogging involves a heated fog that mimics the way smoke or odors penetrate surfaces. Both methods are effective and may be used separately or together depending on the situation.
-
What types of odors can thermal fogging remove?Thermal fogging is particularly effective against smoke, fire damage, and strong odors from cooking, pets, and chemicals. It is often used in spaces affected by smoke or soot.
-
Is thermal fogging safe?Yes, when performed by trained professionals. However, as with ozone treatment, no people, pets, or plants should be in the area during the fogging process. Ventilation is recommended afterward.
-
How do I prepare my space for thermal fogging?Remove pets, plants, and food items. Close windows and doors to keep the fog contained, and clear the area of sensitive items
-
Can I stay in the area during the fogging process?No, you must vacate the area during the treatment. Afterward, wait for the recommended re-entry time as advised by our team.
-
Does the fog generator contain any chemicals?Yes, the fog generator uses a professional liquid called "Harvard Odor Destroyers." This liquid is developed by leading chemists from Harvard University and is designed to eliminate and block bad smells from returning. It is plant-based, ensuring it is safe for people and animals when used as directed.
-
Can thermal fogging remove cigarette smoke odors?Yes, thermal fogging is highly effective at neutralizing cigarette and other smoke odors. At MyPureZone we use special solution aimed to treat smoke smell
-
Will thermal fogging prevent odors from returning?Thermal fogging eliminates existing odors and can prevent future ones if proper cleaning and maintenance are followed
-
Thermal Fogging vs. Cold FoggingThermal fogging machines make oil-based fogging. Thermal foggers are more efficient compared to cold foggers. The oil-surrounded sprayed particles do not evaporate, do not get impacted from the sunlight, and have a broader area of influence. Cold foggers are used to maintain the routine, after the first treatment done by thermal fogging machines.
-
What is the micron diameter?Micron diameter means the size of 1 particle. It is expressed with “µm” and 1 mm is equal to 1000 microns. A human hair is 100µm thick, and a particle’s size in the thermal fogging machine can vary between 1µm~50µm. The micron diameter is adjustable. For effective odor treatment needs a micron diameter of 0-15µm
-
What is the difference between the operation principle of the thermal fogger and the cold fogger?Thermal fogger machines and cold fogger machines have almost similar micron diameter ranges. Cold fogger transforms the formulation into vapor with the air pressure, without the heat. A portable thermal fogger, on the other hand, transforms the formulation into a vapor state with the help of heat. For Cold foggers, next to air pressure, airflow, and power are also important details, as well as the quality of the air pump of the cold fogging machine. If the air pump is insufficient and is not disintegrating the disinfectant into small particles as required, it is not possible to name that device as a cold fogger. Cold Fogger has to produce particles with a diameter under 30 µm.

-
What is Hydroxyl and how does it work for odor removal?Hydroxyl is a powerful, natural air purifier that uses hydroxyl radicals (H·OH) to break down and neutralize odors. It targets and eliminates odor molecules at a molecular level without using harsh chemicals, leaving the air fresh and clean.
-
Is Hydroxyl as effective as ozone for eliminating strong odors?Hydroxyl is effective at neutralizing light to moderate odors, but it may not be as powerful as ozone for removing very strong or persistent odors, such as those caused by severe smoke or mold. Ozone treatment is generally considered more effective for deep odor removal in challenging situations.
-
Why should I consider ozone instead of Hydroxyl for tougher odor issues?While Hydroxyl is a safe and chemical-free option, ozone treatment is often more effective for heavy-duty odor removal. Ozone molecules are highly reactive and can reach deep into porous surfaces to completely eliminate stubborn odors, making it a better choice for severe cases like fire damage or extensive mold growth.
-
Is Hydroxyl safe for my family and pets?Yes, Hydroxyl is completely safe for humans and pets. It’s a chemical-free process that leaves no harmful residues, making it ideal for households with children and animals.
