Ozone vs Common Disinfecting Products

Something I've seen alot in the ozone product world are systems that inject ozone into water. I've found that these solutions help with my hard water and supposedly it's also an effective disinfectant. Maybe an ozone impregnated water solution might work well.

Thanks for the video! I have a mold issue in my new home and heard the ozone machines can be effective to reduce/ eliminate mold spores. It’s helpful to see the comparison to alcohol and Clorox wipes too.

Whist I do have two ozone generators I also use humidifiers with disinfectant added to get everywhere but not around electronics. Even a tiny ozone generator is enough for a house.

I would have liked a before Petri dish for each method then after using the method. Another method to add is aqueous ozone when o3 is in water.

The reason the ozone didn’t work is because the container it was in was not sealed. Depending on how good you seal the container will greatly improve the circulation of the ozone. It would be better if there was no openings at all.

I had to take Microbiology 4 times at LACC before I passed it. Best course I've ever failed. Thank you Dr. Frey.

This video is brilliant!❤ ❤❤❤

What is the effect of Ozone air to our plants? Is this safe for house plants?

Thanks good video. Amazon link didn't work from canada

I would like to see the results after wiping it with ozonated water... if in future you ever do this experiment again.

Bro your ozone generator link doesn't link to anything. FYI. It happened on one of your other videos too.

He forgot to use a control. Oh well.

Ozone doesnt kill pro biotic

Run ozone generator for 24hrs@100% and it kills everything

What is it like for removing smells like smoke?

It took the cigarette smell out of the used motorhome I bought.

The experiment isn't bad - but the most important factor was overlooked: Of course alcohol kills everything, but can you also fill the carpet, the couch, groceries or entire rooms with alcohol? If so then cool!! I've been using ozone generators in rooms, fridges, and trash cans almost every day for years. So everything is odorless. You simply have to use ozone generators more often so that it can effectively go in anywhere and do its job. ❤

That ozone test should have been done under a flow hood, that's most likely why you see colonies

Probably should've "re-dirtied" your hands each time you touched a new panel because I would think more pathogens would have transferred to the first panel than the rest the moment you touched it. Idk I'm a lay person but that's just my thought.

Did you try swabbing as soon as it finished in the ozone without transporting? Nothing would remain to continue killing germs when it’s done, ozone is just o3 and it’s sanitization is that o breaking off and oxidizing (more to it but dumbed down) whereas the Clorox and alcohol wouldn’t dry up all the way. Ik it’s 2 years but something to consider if you didnt

Why don't you just swab the ozone within the chamber?

It's really not much of a test. Ozone generators are not commonly used to clean countertops or other hard surfaces. Lets see you used those chemicals to get rid oft the odors in a car that was smoked in for several years.

TERRIBLE method. Ozone takes a minimum of 3 hours to kill microbes. He probably know that sadly.

we got a $50 Chinese ozone machine off eBay. it works great we have had it for about a year now.

We are made up from germs. Germs is good for u

YOUR SPACE WILL STINK AFTER OZONE!! DO NOT USE!!

Important point! Ozone is toxic to humans when inhaled as far as I know, it could be for skin too . Be careful.

One concern is that when ozone is use in actual practice the application time is longer and the time following the application is longer. In this case you also measured the speed at which each cleaner acts on bacteria. While the exposure time for the ozone in the box may have been OK the time allowed after exposure to ozone was not in line with the typical use. Maybe an hour or more after exposure may be useful before checking the ozone results.

I am cleaning mold from the wall in my sink cabinet. It has spread to areas I cannot reach, so I cannot "clean" the mold off the surface without tearing out the cabinetry. Some yahoo with a business said don't "waste money on ozone generators: because they don't "penetrate" the paper in dry wall.
So I guess I should just buy alcohol and spray and drizzle it into cracks and crevices I cannot reach in hopes of killing the mold till I can tear out the cabinets?

I live here so I can't just pack up and leave for a month.
I had bought a hunting ozone generator for the car. A little device the size of a bottle of beer. It plugged into the cigarette light or USB port, or wall adapter and bathed the air inside the car in ozone for like 1-3 hours before shutting off for the rest of the night. I wonder if I could put this beneath my cabinet and tape it shut with plastic sheeting to force the ozone to accumulated and bleed out of the gaps and airflow that the mold also took advantage of?

Do ozonators reduce radiation

How would you recommend getting odors out of fabrics...with the alcohol and Clorox? Like in a vehicle when detailing the interiors. Thanks

Could it be that the machine depleted the available O2 in that small box? I have seen Ozone people online say that using the machines over 6 hours depending on the size of the room/house, will use all available O2 and thus not able to make any more O3.

What about ozonated water?

Dose UV light sanitizer lamps kill mites?

So ozone machine is not as good as Clorox and alcohol?

I usually clean first, then ozone, then uvc for my more sterile needs.

i wonder if its more common to use 70% vs the 91% for general cleaning like this.. i always go for the strongest stuff, at worst it can always b watered down, i cant remember ever having to do so but im sure theirs some situation that would require it.. do u guys here in the comments get the 91? or the 70? n is there any specific reason

Super cool man. Thanks

Wonder what would be the result using ozonated water. I read that its very effective

Hate to comment on an older video, but did someone already mention that in addition to chemical sterilization, the clorox and alcohol pads also benefited from PHYSICAL sanitation? I think to improve your controls, you should have wiped the "no intervention" and ozone pads with sterile water and cloth so that they also benefit from the physical scrubbing. I was thinking of buying ozone for odor removal, but your video caught my interest.

Important: follow the 3 Ps - No plants, no pets, no people in the room while using the ozone generator and don't enter that room for several hours after using............thanks for including this information in your video.
WARNING: Ionizer air purifiers (negative ion generators) emit ozone as a by-product.........

When you flush the toilet, the water in the bowl sprays into the air contaminating everything in that bathroom. These are microscopic particles that will float in the air until disturbed by air movement. This is mostly why a towel left in the bathroom for any time will contain bacteria- along as the walls and floor and all surfaces!

The concentration of the ozone is also a factor here. Just looked up the ozone machine model here and it seems its 10,000 mg/hr. Of course how long you run the machine for and whether the area is sealed closed are variables. As you mentioned the ozone machine is great for areas you aren't going to clean by hand anyway so technically you could sanitize walls and ceilings and other objects in a room all at once which wouldn't have gotten touched by any cleaning agent at all most likely. Interesting experiment. Just grabbed a 20,000 mg/hr unit. Thanks!

Ozone generation is dependent on the air humidity, Its best to have as dry of air as possible to make a lot of Ozone, Just having 50% humidity could impact ozone generation a ton, Yeah you smell ozone but the human nose can detect ozone at some stupidly low concentrations

I think you need to find the threshold at which O3 is effective, also spraying the O3 box chamber with H2O2 to increase the O2 concentration could be another arm of the study. I use O3 to take the stink out of my boots in a sealed cardboard box with after spraying the boots with H2O2. For me no other disinfectant has been as effective as the O3 generator. Off course I leave the boots in overnight after running the machine for 30 or so mins

Nothing is 100% effective. 🤷‍♀️
But seeing as I need to get to all the parts of my car I can't see it get to... Yeah, I'm going to use an ozone machine, and for the recommended time, not just 20 minutes.
I was surprised that you did it for so short of a time. Everything I've seen so far (though admittedly, that's not much) says for 1-3 hours minimum.

I bought an ozone generator to get rid of a smell in a rental apartment. Ran it for an hour generating 20g. Had a really cheap stand fan made in China circulating the air. When I came back all the smell was gone. Next day using the cheap fan the fan blade disintegrated. It was made from very soft plastic presumably to lessen injuries if ran without guard. Still I am puzzled!

Hi do you think ozone will kill rat / bird mites in my flat ? We’re infested because a nasty rat get in for a few days , mites on it infested whole flat yuck. So I’ve tried tons of sprays they just won’t die Off !
Any ideas on ozone for infestation problems? Cheers

For this test to have an accurate outcome you must test how ozone (parts per million) is being used, taking into consideration dissipation rate in addition to the contamination that's being tested. Different contaminates require different treatments. I owe a company specializes in odor removal. We treated thousands of vehicles and homes with nearly a 95% success rate for first time treatments😱

really thanks for the video , please make another for Clo2 result .

very intersting video, exactly what i needed. love the scientific approach, well done! i built a ozone chamber for my stinky gym gloves and shoes! soaking them every time in desinfectant will be bad for glue and textiles :-)
