Lingering odors can be a nightmare – especially smoke, pet, or mold smells that soak into carpets, walls, upholstery, and vents. Many people try sprays or scented candles that only cover up the problem.
So… can ozone actually remove these odors for good?
Yes – and here’s how.
How Ozone Works Against Odors
Ozone (O3) is a gas made of three oxygen atoms. It works by oxidizing – or breaking apart – odor-causing particles in the air, on surfaces, and inside fabrics.
Once ozone comes into contact with pollutants like smoke residue or pet dander, it neutralizes them. Then, the ozone breaks down into clean oxygen, leaving the air fresh and odor-free.
This makes ozone incredibly effective against even the toughest smells.
Cigarette & Smoke Odors
Problem: Smoke particles cling to everything – walls, furniture, clothes, air vents.
Solution: Ozone penetrates every corner of the space and breaks down smoke particles that standard cleaning can’t reach.
Typical Uses:
- Used cars that smell like cigarettes
- Apartments after tenants who smoked indoors
- Homes recovering from fire damage
Pet Odors
Problem: Urine, dander, litter boxes, and wet fur smells are stubborn – especially on soft surfaces.
Solution: Ozone destroys the odor-causing bacteria and organic compounds in the air and on fabrics.
Typical Uses:
- Rental properties with previous pets
- Homes with lingering cat or dog smells
- Car interiors and carpets
Mold & Mildew Odors
Problem: Mold smells come from microscopic spores and mildew growth – often in hidden areas like basements, walls, or vents.
Solution: Ozone neutralizes the airborne spores causing the musty smell, leaving the air crisp and clean.
Note: While ozone removes mold odors, it’s not a substitute for mold remediation. For active mold growth, professional cleanup may be needed first – then ozone can remove the lingering smell.
Why Ozone Works When Other Methods Don’t
- Sprays only mask odors – ozone eliminates them
- Ozone reaches air ducts, carpets, furniture, and even walls

- Works quickly – often in just a few hours
Who Uses Ozone for These Odors?
- Landlords & Airbnb hosts between guests
- Used car dealers trying to refresh interiors
- Realtors prepping homes for sale
- Homeowners tired of lingering smells
- People recovering from fire or water damage
