Ozone does leave a smell, but it is important to note that the strength of the smell and the duration of its presence can vary depending on various factors. After an ozone treatment, it is common to experience a faint residual smell of ozone for the first couple of weeks. This smell is often described as clean and fresh, similar to the scent in the air after a lightning storm or rainfall.
The ozone smell is a result of the chemical reaction that occurs when ozone molecules come into contact with airborne pollutants, odors, and bacteria. Ozone works by oxidizing and breaking down these substances, effectively eliminating them and leaving behind a clean-smelling environment.
While some people find the smell of ozone pleasant, others may not particularly enjoy it. It is subjective and can vary from person to person. However, many past clients have reported that they actually enjoy the smell and find it refreshing.
It is worth mentioning that the ozone smell will gradually fade over time. As the ozone molecules break down and dissipate, the residual odor will diminish. Opening windows and allowing fresh air circulation can help to speed up this process.
It is important to note that ozone is a powerful oxidizer and should only be used in controlled and well-ventilated environments. Ozone generators should be operated according to manufacturer instructions and safety precautions should be followed to prevent overexposure to ozone gas.
