Many of us may need a tool such as an Ozone machine to perform certain tasks but may not have the budget to purchase one.\u00a0 The Odor Doc Permanent Odor Elimination Kit<\/a> is a less expensive option to consider.<\/p>\n

\"Odor<\/p>\n

I do want to mention I have not officially tested the Odor Doc.\u00a0 I own a (consumer level) Ozone machine and had yet to be in a position in the past few months where I needed to address more extreme problems (moderate to severe cigarette odor, mold, mildew, animal decay smells).\u00a0 But seeing this product available at Detailed Image recently piqued my interest.<\/p>\n

I have learned from research that Chlorine Dioxide products have been used as an alternative to what we may use an Ozone machine for.\u00a0 The Odor Doc is one of those products that contain Chlorine Dioxide.\u00a0 I reached out to a representative Of P&S about Odor Doc in the interest of mentioning this product being potentially a more practical alternative to investing in a Ozone machine.\u00a0 He stated, “the Odor Doc is a quick release vapor product.\u00a0 The canister is designed for a single use application – so you know exactly what it costs you to perform the service.”\u00a0 He mentioned that it is 8 times the strength of most Chlorine Dioxide products.\u00a0 It was also mentioned the product “kills bacteria, mold, and mildew and eliminates smoke odor.”\u00a0 The active Ingredient that is making a significant impact is chlorine dioxide gas.\u00a0 But what does this do?\u00a0 Like Ozone, Chlorine Dioxide disinfects via oxidation.<\/p>\n

\"Odor<\/p>\n

Odor Doc vs Ozone Generator:\u00a0 both kill bacteria uniquely through oxidation.<\/p>\n

The effectiveness of Ozone machines comes from its ability to change the chemical composition of air, consequentially killing organic matter.\u00a0 Ozone generators break apart oxygen molecules with electrical charges.\u00a0 In high doses or prolonged use, it may damage plastics and rubber surfaces.<\/p>\n

Chlorine Dioxide oxidizes by transference of oxygen atoms via redox.\u00a0 Chlorine in high doses is considered carcinogenic.<\/p>\n

In conclusion do not take using either of these products lightly<\/strong>.\u00a0 Whichever of these resources you may decide to use exercise extreme caution and use only when NECESSARY<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The representative of P&S reminded me, that with Odor Doc there is “no chord, no power needed, no guessing on the right dosage or time.\u00a0 This makes the process possible for same day return.”<\/p>\n
