Many of us may need a tool such as an Ozone machine to perform certain tasks but may not have the budget to purchase one. The Odor Doc Permanent Odor Elimination Kit is a less expensive option to consider.
Quanju are exported all over the world and different industries with quality first. Our belief is to provide our customers with more and better high value-added products. Let's create a better future together.
I do want to mention I have not officially tested the Odor Doc. I own a (consumer level) Ozone machine and had yet to be in a position in the past few months where I needed to address more extreme problems (moderate to severe cigarette odor, mold, mildew, animal decay smells). But seeing this product available at Detailed Image recently piqued my interest.
I have learned from research that Chlorine Dioxide products have been used as an alternative to what we may use an Ozone machine for. The Odor Doc is one of those products that contain Chlorine Dioxide. I reached out to a representative Of P&S about Odor Doc in the interest of mentioning this product being potentially a more practical alternative to investing in a Ozone machine. He stated, &#;the Odor Doc is a quick release vapor product. The canister is designed for a single use application &#; so you know exactly what it costs you to perform the service.&#; He mentioned that it is 8 times the strength of most Chlorine Dioxide products. It was also mentioned the product &#;kills bacteria, mold, and mildew and eliminates smoke odor.&#; The active Ingredient that is making a significant impact is chlorine dioxide gas. But what does this do? Like Ozone, Chlorine Dioxide disinfects via oxidation.
Odor Doc vs Ozone Generator: both kill bacteria uniquely through oxidation.
The effectiveness of Ozone machines comes from its ability to change the chemical composition of air, consequentially killing organic matter. Ozone generators break apart oxygen molecules with electrical charges. In high doses or prolonged use, it may damage plastics and rubber surfaces.
Chlorine Dioxide oxidizes by transference of oxygen atoms via redox. Chlorine in high doses is considered carcinogenic.
In conclusion do not take using either of these products lightly. Whichever of these resources you may decide to use exercise extreme caution and use only when NECESSARY.
The representative of P&S reminded me, that with Odor Doc there is &#;no chord, no power needed, no guessing on the right dosage or time. This makes the process possible for same day return.&#;
A description of the process for using the P&S Double Black Odor Doc is in the video below:
Once again, both products need to be handled with extreme care! Neither is a magic cure. That means either option should be used only after the interior is thoroughly detailed. That means if you have bad cigarette odor in your car, you really need to perform an exhaustive interior detailing. That includes changing the cabin air filter.
The significant distinction between the two is the financial barrier to entry with Odor Doc being a single use product versus investing in an ozone machine. The ozone machines are more recognized specifically within the automotive detailing industry. The only problem with that is the price being a barrier to entry for many people. The ozone machine I own costs $139.99, and this is the least expensive option I would recommend (which I also own). A newer version of this device I own (above), the Jenesco DC-10 Ozone Generator, is listed here.
The machine I own can remove the many unpleasant odors that linger, I have used this one even to address a dead animal where other methods had failed. It is not a top-of-the-line Ozone machine; those are better suited to address even more severe issues.
Many of the more popular ozone machines, that have the formal distinction of being professional grade, are priced close to $500 and up (listed below).
These more expensive Ozone machines are recommended for killing mold and mildew. The P&S Odor Doc Elimination Kit is listed at $26.99, so you have a cheaper barrier to entry and the Odor Doc is a one-time use product which is great if you do not plan to do perform heavy removals frequently.

The Safer Alternative to Ozone, Hydroxyl, and Fragrances
There are many techniques and technologies for removing commercial odors &#; each with its pros and cons. The range of methods span from:
- inexpensive but less effective (masking fragrances)
to
- potent but dangerous (ozone machines)
to
- powerful but time consuming (hydroxyl machines)
When it comes to the best of all factors, nothing compares to vaporization of plant-based products for safe, fast, effective, and efficient odor elimination.
The company is the world’s best Home Ozone Generator supplier. We are your one-stop shop for all needs. Our staff are highly-specialized and will help you find the product you need.

How Vaporization Works to Remove Odors
Vaporization equipment, like the WAXIE Dry Vapor Smoke & Odor Eliminator, converts liquid odor elimination products into microscopic particles. The most effective products include WAXIE&#;s 640 Smoke Away, a natural odor remover made with plant oils, which attract and surround odor molecules, neutralizing their smells.
Vaporization boosts the effectiveness of plant-based odor removers thanks to two key factors:
- The smaller the droplets, the greater the degree of penetration and effectiveness in removing odors
- The smaller the droplets, the more surface area treated for odors
Key Benefits of Vaporization
Elimination, Not Masking
Many businesses use air fresheners or fragrances to cover odors with another scent. While readily available and often more inexpensive, air fresheners do not remove odors completely &#; they just substitute one aroma for another. Often, the combined scent of masking fragrance and hint of bad smell is worse than the original malodor.
Most customers prefer no scent at all to a fragrance and consider &#;fresh air&#; most indicative of a clean environment. Dry vaporized Smoke Away completely neutralizes odors in the air, on surfaces, and set-in fabric smells. The result is zero odors.
Smoke Odors
When asked the worst smell they could experience in a hotel, 60% of travelers answered the lingering scent of cigarette smoke. In some cases, &#;soft goods&#; like bedding, mattresses, curtains, furniture, and carpet have to be thrown away to get rid of set-in smoke odors. When vaporized, Smoke Away is able to penetrate deep into fabrics and walls to make a room odorless and ready for the next guest (sometimes in less than an hour).
Broad Spectrum Odor Elimination
Aside from smoke, plant-based odor removers are powerful and diverse enough to tackle almost any smell. From skunk spray to cooking and food odors, garbage to restroom smells, vaporization is effective at eliminating it all.
Speed and Safety vs. Other Control Technologies
When compared to other methods, vaporized plant-based odor removers provide a safer solution. Thanks to their natural ingredients, they can be used anywhere, anytime&#;near staff, children, pets, and individuals with compromised immune systems.
Fragranced Air Fresheners
Products with synthetic fragrances have been found to include ingredients that can cause harmful side effects. Specifically, air freshener sprays contain dangerous chemicals linked to neurotoxicity (a poison which acts on the nervous system), skin allergies and irritation, and diseases like cancer and asthma.
Ozone Generators
Until recently, ozone generators have been the only odor-removing solution available to facilities professionals. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has dedicated much time and effort detailing the harmful effects of ozone generators and the health risks associated with exposure for any duration.
According to EPA studies, ozone is a &#;potent lung irritant,&#; which can cause a variety of respiratory ailments, even in low amounts. This is why all federal agencies, including the EPA, require ozone to only be used in unoccupied spaces.
Hydroxyl Machines
Hydroxyl generators use UV lights to convert airborne water into odor-neutralizing &#;radicals.&#; They are a safer alternative to ozone generators but can take up to three times longer to treat an area. Depending on the brand and how they work, some hydroxyl machines can produce harmful ozone.

Safety (People)
Non-toxic and free of harsh chemicals; can be used around people
