Key Odor Facts

People spend about 90% of their time indoors, where pollutant levels often reach 2-5x higher than outdoors.
Common odor sources: smoke residue, pet waste, mold, VOCs, and trapped moisture.
Odors don’t just smell bad they signal contamination that affects your air quality and property value.

Why Odor Problems Matter

71% of U.S. homes have pets, making odor control a constant issue.
In real estate, persistent odors reduce buyer confidence and delay sales.
Smoke odor can lower a car’s resale value by hundreds of dollars.

The Science of Odor Removal

Smoke and Residue

Smoke contains tar, nicotine, and gases that cling to surfaces. These compounds react with indoor air and create strong, lingering smells. Ozone treatment breaks down those odor molecules and neutralizes them.

Mold and Moisture

Mold odors come from microbial growth and trapped moisture. Ozone helps kill odor-causing microorganisms and freshens air after cleanup and drying.

VOCs and Chemical Odors

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from paint, fuel, and cleaning agents contribute to chemical smells. Controlled ozone treatment helps oxidize and neutralize these airborne compounds.

What Works and What Doesn’t

Odor Type	Works	Ineffective Methods
Smoke	Ozone treatment, deep surface cleaning	Air fresheners
Mold and mildew	Ozone treatment with moisture repair	Cover-up sprays
Pet odors	Ozone shock treatment, ventilation	Perfumed cleaners
Chemical odors	Controlled ozone oxidation	HEPA filters alone

How ODORZX Uses Ozone Safely

Controlled application: Treatments are done in unoccupied areas to prevent exposure.
Proper dwell time: Ozone levels and duration are calculated by trained techs for each job.
Post-treatment ventilation: After neutralizing odors, fresh air circulation brings oxygen levels back to normal.
Surface cleaning integration: We combine ozone with cleaning to eliminate both airborne and surface-based odors.
