Welcome to our Ozone Shock Treatment FAQ page — your trusted source for expert answers about how ozone treatment works, its safety, and how it can help eliminate tough odors in homes, cars, boats, and Airbnb rentals. Whether you’re dealing with cigarette smoke, marijuana smoke, pet smells, mold smells or musty odors, this guide will help you understand the process and how our professional ozone shock treatment services in Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties can restore freshness to any space.
1. What is ozone shock treatment?
Ozone shock treatment is a powerful odor removal process that uses highly reactive ozone gas (O₃) to neutralize and eliminate stubborn smells at the molecular level. It’s especially effective for deep-set odors in homes, cars, boats, and rental properties.
2. How does ozone shock treatment work?
We use professional-grade ozone generators to create ozone gas, which is then evenly distributed throughout the treated space. The ozone reacts with odor-causing compounds, chemically altering and destroying them. After the treatment, the area is ventilated, and the ozone safely reverts to breathable oxygen.
3. What types of odors can ozone treatment eliminate?
Ozone treatment effectively removes a wide range of common and persistent odors, including:
- Pet smells and dander
- Cigarette and marijuana smoke
- Cooking odors
- Moldy or musty odors
- Body odor in Airbnb rentals
Ideal for homes, vehicles, and vacation properties — see our Airbnb & Vacation Rentals odor removal service.
4. What preparations are needed before the treatment?
Before we begin ozone treatment, it’s crucial to remove the source of the odor — such as trash, spoiled food, mold, or pet waste. We also recommend having your carpets, air ducts, or soft furnishings cleaned, especially if they’ve absorbed smells over time.

5. What happens if I skip the preparation step?
If the odor source remains in the space (like dirty carpet, mold, or debris), ozone will temporarily remove the smell, but it will eventually return. Proper preparation ensures long-lasting results.
6. Is ozone shock treatment a permanent solution?
Yes — when the odor source is removed and treatment is done properly, ozone permanently eliminates odors by destroying the molecules that cause them.
7. Do you guarantee your odor removal service?
Absolutely! If you’re not satisfied with the results, we offer a free re-treatment of the area. We stand by the effectiveness of our ozone process.

Homes and rentals (Airbnb): 24-48 hours total, including treatment and ventilation.
Cars and boats: 1-2 hours depending on the level of odor and size of the vehicle.

9. Is ozone safe for people and pets?
Ozone is completely safe when used professionally. However, during treatment, all people, pets, and plants must vacate the space. After the treatment, ozone naturally breaks down into oxygen (O₂), leaving no harmful residue.
10. Can I do ozone treatment myself?
DIY ozone treatments often fail to deliver results and can be unsafe if done incorrectly. Proper odor removal requires professional equipment, expert calculations for ozone dosage, and strict safety protocols.

11. Will ozone treatment remove mold or mildew?
Ozone treatment can help eliminate the musty odors associated with mold and mildew by breaking down the smell-causing compounds in the air and on surfaces. However, ozone is not a mold remediation solution. If you suspect an active mold problem, it’s important to first have the mold professionally removed before applying ozone treatment to address residual odors.
12. Is ozone treatment effective for smoke damage or fire-related odors?
Yes, ozone is highly effective for removing smoke odors, including those from cigarettes, marijuana, and even fire or soot damage. It penetrates deep into walls, fabrics, and vents, helping to neutralize lingering smoke smells after fires or heavy indoor smoking.
13. Can ozone treatment help with short-term rental cleaning (Airbnb)?
Definitely! Ozone is ideal for Airbnb and vacation rental turnover, especially when guests leave behind odors like smoke, food, pets, or body odor. A quick ozone session can refresh your property fast, without chemical sprays or masking agents.
