How Tersano Stabilised Aqueous Ozonated Water Removes Carpet Smells, Mould, Mildew, and VOC Odours

5/23/2026

Have you ever walked into a room and thought:
“Wow… this carpet smells bad.”

Maybe it smelled:
- Mouldy
- Musty
- Wet
- Like mildew
- Like smoke
- Like pets
- Or like a strong “new carpet” chemical smell

A lot of people do not know this, but the bad smell is usually hiding DEEP inside the carpet. That is why normal carpet cleaning sometimes does not work very well.

The top of the carpet may look clean, but underneath the carpet there can still be:
- Mould
- Mildew
- Wet padding
- Bacteria
- VOC gases
- Carpet glue smells
- Adhesive odours

This is why deep carpet odour removal is so important.

What Is Tersano Stabilized Aqueous Ozonated Water (SAO)?

Tersano Stabilized Aqueous Ozonated Water is sometimes called ozone water.

Tersano takes normal tap water and adds activated oxygen to create a powerful cleaning solution that is ESG Compliant and 100% Sustainable.

This helps with:
- Carpet odour removal
- Carpet deodorising
- Mould removal
- Mildew removal
- VOC removal
- Carpet sanitizing
- Commercial carpet cleaning
- Chemical-free carpet cleaning

The amazing thing is that it is made mostly from:
- Water
- Oxygen

After cleaning, it changes safely back into ordinary tap water and oxygen.

Why Carpets Smell Bad

A carpet is like a giant sponge.

It can soak up:
- Moisture
- Dirt
- Smoke
- Pet smells
- Mould
- Mildew
- Chemical fumes
- VOC odours from new carpet

Sometimes mould grows on the BACK of the carpet where nobody can see it. That hidden mould can create a horrible mildew smell.

New carpets can also smell bad because of:
- Carpet adhesives
- Carpet glue
- Synthetic fibers
- Manufacturing chemicals

These are called VOCs, or volatile organic compounds. VOC smells can make a room smell strong, chemical-like, and unpleasant.

Many people search online for:
- how to remove mould smell from carpet
- how to remove mildew smell from carpet
- how to remove VOC smell from new carpet
- how to remove carpet adhesive smell
- best way to remove new carpet smell

This is where using Tersano SAO to clean and deodorise your carpets can help.

A Real Customer Story

One longtime customer did not believe ozone water carpet cleaning would work.

He told me:
“I do not want the carpet staying wet. I just installed new carpeting in these rooms and hallways"
And:
“There is no way this will remove the VOC smell from the new carpet adhesive.”

That was his biggest problem.

The carpet smelled strongly from:
- New carpet glue
- Adhesive chemicals
- VOC gases
- Musty odours trapped underneath

I told him to use a carpet extractor machine with Tersano SAO (but first, clean the extractor thoroughly to remove any shampoo residue).

The carpet extractor injects the Tersano Stabilized Aqueous Ozonated Water deep into the carpet and then quickly removes most of the water. This leaves the carpet only slightly damp instead of soaking wet.

That is very important:

The ozonated water penetrates:
- Through the carpet fibers
- Into the carpet backing
- Into the carpet padding
- Down into the adhesive layer

This deep carpet cleaning removes:
- Mould smells
- Mildew smells
- VOC odours
- Carpet adhesive smell
- Wet carpet smell
- Chemical odours

The ozonated water helps kill mould and mildew trapped deep inside the carpet backing. It also helps oxidise and neutralise VOC gases from new carpet and carpet adhesives.

The customer was shocked by the results.

His new carpeting:
- Smelled fresh
- Felt softer
- Chemical and adhesive smell was gone
- Mildew odour were gone
- Dried quickly
- Looked cleaner

He said the room and hallway smelled much fresher afterward.

How Tersano Ozonated Water Carpet Cleaning Works

Most chemical carpet cleaners and shampoos only clean the top surface.

But stabilized aqueous ozone carpet cleaning goes much deeper. The ozone water travels deep inside the carpet where odours often hide.

This helps with:
- Carpet restoration - colours "pop" again and the carpet feels soft again
- Deep carpet odour removal
- Carpet sanitizing
- Commercial carpet deodorising
- Non-toxic carpet odour removal

Instead of covering smells with perfumes, ozone water helps destroy odours at the source.

That is why many people use ozone carpet cleaning for:
- Hotel carpet odour removal
- Office carpet deodorising
- Apartment carpet cleaning
- Healthcare carpet sanitizing
- Commercial carpet cleaning

How using Ozonated Water Helps Indoor Air Quality

Bad carpet odours can affect indoor air quality. Mould, mildew, and VOC gases can spread through the air inside a building.

Removing these hidden odours will help improve:
- Indoor air freshness
- Indoor air quality
- Overall comfort
- tenant, hotel guest, customer and employee satisfaction

That is why many facilities, hotels, hospitals, and resorts now use chemical-free carpet cleaning and carpet extraction cleaning systems using Tersano Stabilised Aqueous Ozoned Water.
