Cleaning mold in car with Detailing EZ

  • Is ozone cleaning safe?

    Yes. Ozone’s reactivity and oxidation properties make it the best weapon against mold spores and organic matter. It attacks and neutralizes these intruders while leaving no harmful residue. And ozone can also treat mold in difficult-to-reach places inside your car. It provides an effective solution for mold issues before they escalate. 

    After ozone treatment, it will revert to regular oxygen, leaving behind no harmful by-products. This is a safe choice for mold prevention. We prefer this treatment as it doesn’t contribute to further contamination or pose additional health risks.

    Yes, but you can’t eliminate mold in car with heat only.

    Why?

    Because you can’t heat up your car up to the level that can kill mold. And heat also can’t kill mycotoxins. This is the harmful substances mold occasionally produces which can trigger serious health problems.

    Also, mold spores still grow inside car without proper cleaning method. 

  • Does ozone kill mold in car?

    No. In fact, ozone will kill and stop the mold spores from sprouting. But it is not a viable option for getting rid of all of the mold. 

    So, to completely get rid of the problem, we will need to:

    • First, we clean and take out any surface in side your car;
    • Then, we use ozone treatment.

    Why we choose this way?

    By using ozone after the surface has been cleaned, we can kill all of the spores that are not visible but still present in your car. These spores are the root cause that could allow for the mold to regrow. Also, using ozone will completely get rid of the mildew smell that was left behind.
