rev up your engines I'm gonna show you how to get around of really horrible
smells in your cars that you just can't get rid of now getting rid of smells in
your car can be a tricky business because the odor can permeate everything
especially the air ducts system that blows heat and air conditioning in your
face it's not that easy to get inside there with any kind of sprays or
cleaners and if you're sensitive read some of these cleaners use gloves do not
inhale dust keep away from children harmful if swallowed
not exactly stuff you want floating around in your car and then stick into
stuff even stuff like Lysol read the back of the can it says things like
known to cause cancer in California this stop can be dangerous for people that
are trying to get rid of a smell you don't want to just replace it with
another smell so if you have some serious smell in your car you can't get
rid of whether you bought a used car in a previous person smoke and the smoke
smell is gone and everywhere and permeated the whole car or in the case
of my celica you forgot left you window open the
neighbors can't came inside and peed all over the place well here is a serious
cleaner that you can use to get rid of smells now I say serious look at the
sign use an unoccupied space only you don't want to put it where anything that
you want to remain alive to stay that way this isn't one of those toy ozone
generators that oh I'll get this ozone generator and I'll stick in my car to
freshen the air while I Drive you don't want to do that anyways cuz here's what can
happen years ago house my wife and I mistakenly thought one of those air
purifiers with an ozone generator was a good thing
so we'd run it at night so we're breathing in pure air what did you spend
like what a 1/3 of your life sleeping so ha good idea breathe clean air but now with
an old zone generator mysteriously my wife found out she kept getting
headaches when she woke up in the morning well it was a stupid ozone
generators they're not as strong as this one but they're still creating ozone and
she ended up getting a headache from it so when we unplugged it and threw them
away guess what her headaches went away you only
is one of these serious ozone generators to clean up an area where there's no
living creatures that you want to continue to live living inside there in
the case of a car I'm gonna show you how it works you have the windows rolled up
it's all just sealed inside and what the ozone generator does creates ozone using
electricity ozone is oh three the oxygen in our atmosphere is relatively stable
the ozone o3 it's not and what it does is it finds us all kinds of things so it
can get rid of odors it'll bind with it it'll get rid of it this way you don't
want the cat inside the car when you're doing this because the ozone is made
from the oxygen inside your car and there won't be any oxygen left it
makes a whole bunch of ozone now strangely enough this also has one
positive aspect to your car let's say you got spiders or cockroaches or ants
in your car it will kill them they won't have any oxygen to breathe so there is
the benefit that it will get rid of bugs in your car now I mean if your car's
full of food new bugs will come in later to eat the food but if somehow you have
insects in your car it will get rid of them I did that years ago my wife's old
toyota cressida for some reason a lot of seats had cracked and they a giant
fishes and I'm like miniature Grand Canyon's and I put sheep skin covers
over somehow ants got in the car and my wife said something's weird in my car
and I take off the chicken covered in all these giant cracks there was an ant
colony they had eggs and everything I mean there were thousands of these
things all I had to do was stick this baby in turn on for about 40 minutes
when I was done the ants were all dead this got rid of them and the real
advantage of that is we all know pesticides aren't good for people either
you spray bug spray inside your car kill bugs it'll kill the bugs but over time
it'll probably help kill you too it's no good breathing that stuff in there not
like a bug spray or a disinfectant spray like lice are the chemicals linger all
it does is create the ozone and then later when you shut the Machine off open
the windows and regular air just comes in and there's no residues of anything
and since those on as a gas guess what as long as it's circulating it around
you'll get everywhere and get rid of all the smell
and bugs don't matter what correct they're hiding in air gets in there
it'll get to them and here's how easy it is to use just open your door go inside
start up your car then you want to make sure that your car is not on fresh air
but it's on recirculate here turn the fan on make sure all the windows are
rolled the whole way up because then when you close the door the air is just
being recirculated throughout the car all the ozone will be sucked inside the
car go through all the ducts and it will neutralize odors kill bugs to put on a
seat and this case is pretty smelly we'll turn it on for an hour it's now
running well as you can see it plugs into the house electrics but all cars
got rubber moldings so you can just stick at the bottom of the door and
close it I'll seal it perfectly fine and now the ozone will be doing its thing
for the next hour or so the ozone will permeate everything it'll
go through and since the ozone o3 is a non stable compound it binds with all
these smells when you open the door guess what the smell is all gonna go out
just remember this is being done in a closed enclosure when some people have
really bad sewage problems our houses were flooded up professionals will come
and they can run ozone generators for maybe 48 hours to get rid of the smells
but you don't want anything inside the house that you don't want to be not
alive when it things done saw your pets people babies even your mother-in-law
you want to make sure that they're not inside the house three people and
animals need oxygen mixed with nitrogen in our air that we breathe in if we
breathe in only ozone it doesn't work with our blood so you make sure that
there's nothing inside the car you just let it sit sealed on recirculated so it
keeps recirculating the ozone to get rid of all the odors and of course if you
have a really bad odor emanating from bad things in your car
your head remove the source of the odor I'll never forget when I was a young
mechanic somebody brought their car and they said it smelled it was five minutes
to 10:00 we closed at 10:00 o'clock at night so I brought the woman's car into
the garage locked up the garage and went home on my motorcycle
and the next day my grandfather who opened up at six o'clock in the morning
when I came in at 9:00 he said what did you do last night it stinks in here I
still want that lady said something smelled in her car let's figure out what
it is so we put it up and a little couldn't find anything and bottom looked
under the seats couldn't find anything but then when we popped the trunk whoo
out came a gigantic plume of flies had forgotten when she went to the grocery
store a bag that had frozen shrimp in them now this was July so needless to
say the shrimp wasn't frozen anymore and even though you think your car sealed in
your trunk is sealed it's not a sealed as you might think
somehow flies got inside laid their eggs and then we're maggots all over the
place and it stunk so of course we have to remove that rot bag which of course
it fell apart cuz in those days it was a paper bag once you got that on a lot of the smell
went away but the car itself it still smelled for even months later when she
came back well today I would have just emptied out that trip I would have put
the ozone generator in for an hour or so and then see what happens and if I had
to repeat the process a few times no big deal now back to the car were cleaning
it's been enough time the machine has shut itself off so we just opened the
doors and turn the car off and of course open the other door now
the ozone will dissipate by itself but you can hasten at all by putting a fan
in that way the old zonal all blow out of the car the problem with the ozone
heads of course we can't breathe ozone like I said earlier so you don't do this
and then jump in your car and drive away yeah aranaut oh I guess what now it's
all gonna blow out great you know and to even make that work better here's
another trick starting up the car again and now put it on fresh air full blast
and with it on fresh air the outside air will be sucked in and blows through the
ducts and blow any ozone that's in the ducts Oh which will then come out of the
vents and this fan will blow it away if you have a sensitivity to various
cleaners like Lysol or evaporator spray cleaner or any kind of cleaner so
you're not gonna be bothered by this ozone treatment because like I said
there's nothing lingering except the ozone itself which is blown out it's a
gas like a solid Lysol spray where there's residues in there it's just the
gas that blows away with van and let's say you're one of those sensitive people
hey give it an hour with the fan blowing and the blower sucking fresh air in and
sending it out it will not be any residual ozone to bother you 26 year old
car that the neighbors cat peed in now it's fresh and there's no more smells
that's ozone cleany isn't masking the smell with a perfume it's using the o3
ozone to bond with the smells in the car and then we're moving them and also
removing any bugs that might be in there now you gotta have to pick the bugs up they'll
be dead falling down somewhere get a vacuum cleaner sometimes but remember
heed the warning use only and on occupied spaces don't run this thing was
to anybody around have it all sealed up it's like a fumigation unit only it's a
fumigation unit to get rid of unwanted odors in your car, so if you never want
