Timed ozone cycle in a sealed, empty cabin
Aircon on recirculate to treat the ducts

Ozone safety: unoccupied spaces only — no people, pets or plants. Run on a timer, keep the space closed to dwell, then air out fully before use. Ozone neutralises odours; it is not a medical treatment.

No secret bay chemicals

Every product we use is on the shelf.

Like the big oil brands that run their own forecourts, we run our own bay so you can see the products work before you buy them. Same formula, same bottle.
