Odour Masking vs Odour Oxidizing

If you have ever climbed into a taxi only to count the minutes until you can escape because of a weird smell or avoid them all together. Smells that are unpleasant creep up in the most common areas even hotel rooms, apartments or homes. It doesn’t have to just be vehicles but cooking on a high heat can send your cooking smells though your house, smokers or even your much-loved pets. Smells that are good and bad are everywhere.

If they bother you or you would like to keep them away from your customers then getting rid of them is a new problem all together. There are two main ways to do this: odour masking or oxidising.


ODOUR MASKING

Using spray deodorisers mask odours with another odour with perfumes and fragrances. They don’t remove the cause of the odour and that means that the affects are only temporary.

If you have ever been in a toilet or gym shower you will notice a sudden burst of fragrance designed to make the smell evaporate. However the smell is overwhelming and if you are health conscious you might be counting down the minutes before you can get out to avoid breathing in the chemicals.

These sprays are only cover-ups and contain harsh and unsafe chemicals.


ODOUR OXIDISING

There is a far more effective alternative to removing odours and that is using ozone gas. It is a highly effective deodorising agent because it actually destroys the odour causing substance with activated oxygen. The oxygen in this state attaches itself to the substance and breaks it down leaving behind clean, healthy and fresh air. It is safe, easy and can be produced at a touch of a button to quickly clean air and revive all odours naturally.

Ozone is also a stronger deodoriser than chlorine or hydrogen peroxide.

Novozone’s ozonators convert the free oxygen in the air into ozone gas using a small amount of electricity. This gas permeates all inaccessible areas making it easy to clean even the toughest of places like cars.

Novozone supplies a wide range of portable ozone machines to suit any deodourising job!

Ozone destroys the odour by oxidising the odour-causing substance. It breaks down the substance into harmless compounds.
