Ozone & Hydroxyl Generators for Odor Removal

How Ozone and Hydroxyl Generators Remove Odors at the Source

If you’ve ever walked into a home or business and been hit by the smell of smoke, mold, pet urine, or mustiness, you know how hard it can be to get rid of deep, lingering odors. At Boone’s Restoration Technologies, we specialize in professional odor removal for homes and commercial properties throughout Harris and Montgomery Counties, Texas—including Conroe, The Woodlands, Spring, Magnolia, Tomball, and surrounding areas.

In this post, we’re breaking down two of the most powerful odor-fighting tools in our arsenal: ozone generators and hydroxyl generators. Understanding how they work can help you choose the right solution for your property.

What Causes Lingering Odors?

Odors from mold, fire damage, cigarette smoke, pet urine, or water damage don't just hang in the air—they can become trapped in carpets, walls, HVAC systems, and furniture. Standard cleaning methods and air fresheners only mask the smell.

To truly eliminate odors, we need to destroy the odor-causing molecules themselves. That’s where ozone and hydroxyl technology come in.

Ozone Generators: High-Impact Odor Removal

Ozone (O₃) is a reactive gas that breaks apart odor molecules through oxidation. When we use an ozone generator, it floods the affected space with ozone, which then binds with and neutralizes odor-causing particles.

This method is especially effective for:

• Smoke odors (from cigarettes, cooking, or fire damage)

• Mold and mildew smells

• Pet-related odors

• Sewage or flood-related smells

⚠️ Important: Ozone is not safe to breathe during treatment, so the space must be vacated until the process is complete and the air has been properly ventilated.

Hydroxyl Generators: Safe for Occupied Spaces

Hydroxyl generators create hydroxyl radicals, which occur naturally when UV light interacts with water vapor. These molecules are highly reactive and break down VOCs (volatile organic compounds) and odors into harmless byproducts like water and carbon dioxide.

The biggest benefit? Hydroxyl treatment is safe to use around people, pets, and electronics. It works continuously over time and is ideal for:

• Light to moderate mold odors

• Cooking and food odors

• Musty smells

• General odor control in occupied homes or businesses

Ozone vs. Hydroxyl: What’s Right for You?

At Boone’s Restoration, we evaluate each property to determine the best method—or combination of both—to fully eliminate odors based on severity, location, and whether the space needs to remain occupied.
