Volkswagen Cabin Ozonation in Espoo
An unpleasant smell in the Volkswagen cabin is not just an aesthetic issue – it can cause allergies and respiratory problems. Regular interior cleaning or masking the smell with so-called "dry fog" often doesn't solve the problem, as they don't disinfect the air or destroy bacteria. An effective and safe solution is ozonation – a method we offer at the Volkkarihuolto.fi auto repair shop in Espoo.
What is Volkswagen Cabin Ozonation?
Ozonation is a chemical-free cleaning method where an ozone generator produces ozone (O₃) into the vehicle's interior. Ozone destroys odor molecules as well as pathogenic bacteria, viruses, mold, and fungi that can cause unwanted odors and health problems.
- tobacco smoke odor
- pet and food odors
- odors caused by mold and moisture
- chemical odors from new materials
When is Ozonation Needed for Volkswagen?
Ozonation is especially recommended when:
- There is a persistent unpleasant odor in the vehicle interior
- Smoking has occurred in the car
- The air conditioning or ventilation system hasn't been serviced for a long time
- The car has been used for passenger transport (e.g., as a taxi)
- Children, elderly, or people with allergies travel in the car
