Cold and flu season and ozone

Besides odor removal does anyone market ozone treatment for bacteria or germ removal.

With the start of cold and flu season i am thinking of offering this as an add-on or stand alone service.
 
that's a good idea. Next fall leading into winter would be an excellent time to promote that service. Of course doing so now is ok as well.

Thanks for the idea.
 
That sounds like an interesting angle! You could also "sell" the fact that many of the interior protectants have a biocide in them to keep them from getting mould, and (from what I've been told) by spraying some into the air ducts, you can kill some germs that way too. Maybe even spray some into the air intake, if one is knowledgeable enough to know where they are on different cars.
 
I think the majority of colds and flu are transmitted by touch. Unless someone sneezes on you. I was thinking of this "angle" because Zeibart advertises "anti-bacterial" interior cleaning.

From the CDC "Flu viruses spread in respiratory droplets caused by coughing and sneezing. They usually spread from person to person, though sometimes people become infected by touching something with flu viruses on it and then touching their mouth or nose" http://www.cdc.gov/flu/keyfacts.htm



"The most common way to catch the flu is by breathing in droplets from coughs or sneezes" http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/000080.htm



It seems most of the transmission is via the air but to a lesser degree it is from touching. Therefore we are both correct :up
 
The truth is that most viral infections from contact with contaminated surfaces (fomites) can only happen for a few hours after the contamination occurs. Most viruses do not last long on solid surfaces. Direct transmission is the most common way, especialy in an enclosed environment such as a car. Decontamination only lasts until the next infected person comes along.
