What are the side effects of an ozone treatment?
The short answer is: Nothing noticeable. Ozone is always present in the air we breathe.

Got germs?

Cigarette odor removal
Another mainstay of our business has been to address tobacco odor in cars. Even smokers who roll down their windows when smoking, or try to leave the cigarette hanging out the window, still get a tobacco odor built up in their car. Now imagine trying to sell that car to a non-smoker. Some people absolutely […]
