Whats the difference between an ionizer and a mchine that produces ozone?



They seem to do the same thing. No?



I have an 8 year old Honda outside 24x7 that smells of mildew and must only when its damp outside. It`s in the AC vents and in the carpeting on the passanger side (my nose sniffed it out! :p)



I have found this machine for the car because it says it KILLS mold and mildew. Its an ozone machine.

I have found this machine as well for the car but, unlike the other, it doesn`t say it will kill bacteria, only absorb the bad smell. Its an ionizer.

What do you guys think about this? I can run it for a few days in my car so it gets in all the nooks and crannies to kill the germs for good.



Any help with ozone machines and/or ionizers - benefits, draw backs of each would be appreciated. :up
