does it eliminate mold odors?

I bought this in multiples to use in a home with cat spray in the wood. I was not able to smell anything but the cat spray. After I used this in the home I still smelled cat spray although not as strong but still not tolerable at the same time. So I really do not know how it will handle mold or other smells. I would assume only that with musty smells it might be effective if you use a few cans. I think this product works best in small spaces such as cars or trucks. Good luck.

I was very skeptical but this product really works. I would definitely recommend you give it a try.

I highly doubt it. It doesn't work on cigarettes and I'm sure it won't work on mold odors. If you read my review, I bought 7 of these. Waste of money.

I really don't know. What i can say is that I had dog odor in my car and when I used this product it smelled brand new. I would give it a try, might work. I will caution you that you have to air out your car very well because the new car smell is very strong for a few days after use.

It should. It removed marijuana and cigarette odor from a car that I bought.

Not likely. It circulates air through a filter. I am not sure how that could have much of an impact on mold.

It cleans the LP's completely. If for any reason Mold remains you could use a small amount of another cleaner. But based on my experience I think it should work well for you.

It will clean out your dishwasher so that the mold and mildew is removed. Once this is removed it should keep your dishes from forming this fungus.

Dear Leslee, this machine works more like aroma therapy machine (when fragrances are added), it will not remove or stop mold. To get rid of mold, you need to get air purifier WITH ozone, ONLY ozone can get rid or stop mold from forming. I highly recommend to look for ozone air purifier machine (we have some of them in our amazon store, but expensive models, like ecoquest xl-15 air purifier, you can find less expensive ones on amazon as well). Thank you

Good question! So far the only thing we have found that works to remove mold is a pressure washer.

It depends on how heavy your mold is, how long it will take, but yes, it does work, and very well. It dries the mold up so you can wipe it away.

I have used this product to remove various odors and believe it WILL WORK on mold/mildew smells. If it doesn't work then use a little lysol (a very small amount) in your washer water, but you will probably have to wash twice because the lysol has such a strong smell. Another alternative would be to bleach the items - if they are color fast - , that will get rid of the smell.

Hi J, The ozone plate/cartidge is made of ceramic. Yes, this ozone generator will kill airborne mold spores and eliminate odor for a period of time. However, NO ozone generator on the market (no matter what a manufacturer will tell you) will eliminate ALL mold spores in a contaminated area. This is because mold spores can hide in nooks and crannies in interior surfaces such as inside drywall and other porous material like clothing etc. that may not necessarily be reached by ozone purification. Generally, ozone purification treatment is used after conventional mold clean-ups that involve a bleach scrubbing of contaminated surfaces. I hope this helps and please let us know if we can help with anything else :).

Yes it kills mold spores. It is a high concentration ozone and should not be used in an occupied room as ozone is a lung and mucous membrane irritant. I believe the manual says to leave the room unoccupied for forty-five minutes after completion of ozone treatment. There is a smell of ozone that lingers for quite some time as in a couple of hours or so that some of my family finds annoying. After that time the air is quite fresh as the ozone converts back to oxygen. Even in our unfinished 150 year old brick and dirt floored basement feels fresh. It has drastically cut down on any mold problems in that space. Yes it kills mold spores.

Cleaning isn't required or possible, since the unit burns mold particles rather than filters air. Ours seemed very effective. We use it to reduce molds that come in from the open window. Our first unit lasted 2.5 years before burning out this past weekend. We'd already bought a second unit for a different location. I'll be buying a replacement for the one that just died.

I have gotten some mold off. It wasn't badly molded but it did take it off. I do recommend buying a bottle of Genesis 950 cleaner to add to your solution. It is amazing stuff and really cleans/disinfects. You can buy it online direct from the company-Amerikal Products. It's well worth it and all you add is a capful of solution.

It's extremely powerful and makes my eyes and throat sting when I am in the house unless it is in my basement. Even then, ozone leaks upstairs to my daughter's room and bothers her in there, so I only do it when she's gone or I am leaving the house. It strongly cautions you to do it away from people and is probably stick to that, knowing how it makes me feel to breathe it in. It does kill mold spores, yes. But I believe you need to run it for 24 hours to thoroughly kill the spores.

I was using it to eliminate the odor of mold on books. I cleaned what I could off the book covers and then placed them in a sealed box with the Gonzo for a week. On it's own I don't know that it would eliminate mold. YOu'd have to clean the item with bleach and then use the Gonzo to eliminate the odor. For example, clean the mold off an item and then place that item in a sealed environment with the Gonzo. One caution--if you see mold on the surface of walls unless you caught it right away the mold has also permeated the walls. Cleaning the surface will not eliminate the mold and that can be very unhealthy. Most of the time a person needs to have the drywall removed and replaced in that case. Good luck.

I dont think this product actually works. If it kills mold i have never seen it happen nor do i notice any change in air quality.

this product release its own fresh fragrance but does not eliminate any existing odor in the air. The crystals will chemically bond to the water/moisture in the air and liquefy and help reduce the humidity in small rooms like a closet. I would not recommend you purchase this product for use in a large room with circulating air or where humidity replenishes regularly.

It cleaned up the mold in my walls. Its better than bleach and should work for you
