Advice:
It is best done the same time when the cabin filter gets changed (at least once a year) as for best results it shoudl be done with cabin filter removed.
Remember to use ozonation cautiously and follow safety guidelines as high ozone concentrations can be harmful to human health.
Procedure:
- Remove the cabin filter (optional but best results)
- Turn the aircon OFF, air blow ON on the middle strength.
- Start the ozone generator (with fan on) for 10-30 minutes, making sure all doors are shut. Ofc get out of the car immediately.
- Turn off ozone generator.
- Open all doors / windows for 10-30 minutes and let the ozone out (you could use a fan to speed up). This is important as ozone is harmful for all life forms.
- Put the cabin filter back. (optional depending on 1.)
- Enjoy the clean air in your car!
The ozone specific smell can last for a couple of days after procedure, nothing to worry about, it is not harmful but may be noticeable.
