Killer Ozone

My wife makes me take a shower and change clothes when I come in from my shop. There's smells there that saturate my clothes...gasoline, diesel, alcohol (well beer anyway), carb cleaner, exhaust fumes, epoxies and polyesters, cutting fluids, gear oil even a dead bird that got trapped in there when I closed the door...

I don't blame her, but it makes me think twice about going into the shop and enjoying myself...there's always a price to pay and when I come inside the last thing I want to do is take a shower. I was determined to find a way to have a guilt free session in my shop with no repercussions.

A huge fan worked occasionally in the hot summer months -- well sometimes my wife could detect smells, but in the winter it was a shower every time I came back into the house, and the more time I spent in the house, the more I wished I was out in the shop.

This ozone thing came to the surface quickly - not only did I initially believe it was snake oil, that gas was going to destroy a host of materials that I had on hand in the shop. Report after report warned me that not only did ozone have a negative impact on many materials; it could also kill me if I inhaled too much.

So I looked for other options. All the stuff that's perfectly safe and environmentally friendly just doesn't work, whether it's filters or sprays or whatever.

In desperation, I ended up with a Big Blue Ozonator. If I couldn't clean up the obnoxious odor at least I was going to die trying.

I put my Big Blue on a timer, 15 minutes on, three times in 24 hours. Now my shop smells like a spring rain and my wife has no clue that I've been in the shop working. What a blessing.


Look, I don't care whether you believe or not, or if you feel safe using one or not, I'm just sharing that it might be worth a shot, considering that all of the totally "Safe" shit that I tried, didn't work. And if you really think about it, ANYTHING that is really effective has warnings and cautions - we just accept them for the real benefits they provide. Hell, my wife takes a prescription drug that warns there have been deaths associated with it's use -- yet she still takes it. Why? Because it works.

If your not an idiot, ozone may just be the killer you're looking for.
