For Maria Johansson, 56, from Stockholm, boating is a way to get close to nature. Together with her partner Tom, she enjoys spending summer weeks in the archipelago, in the couple's wooden boat which requires both care and a little extra preparation before each season.

– We travel around the Stockholm archipelago. There's something special about being on the water. Boating makes us spend much more time in nature than before. The archipelago is truly fantastic, especially in the summer, says Maria.
The wooden boat has become a joint project. Every autumn, they cover the boat carefully, and in the spring, family and friends help remove the winter cover and prepare the boat.
– It's a cozy thing every year. We help each other, and it has created many fond memories, with both hard work and laughter. After we're done, Tom and I treat everyone to food and drinks.
Fresh start to the season
After a winter under tarpaulins, the air in the boat can feel a bit damp. To refresh the interior for the summer, Maria and Tom use a small ozone generator – Clean from Swedish Ozoneair.
– We run it at the beginning of the season, after we've put in cushions and textiles. It helps remove that typical winter smell that can otherwise linger in the wood and textiles, says Maria.
Clean disperses ozone into the space, which penetrates materials and attacks odor particles and mold spores. After treatment, the space is aired out, and it feels significantly cleaner.
– I use it at a slightly lower level and in several rounds. It feels safer when you have a wooden boat and want to be a bit careful.
It's that simple
- Plug in Connect Clean to an electrical outlet.
- Set Choose the area to be treated.
- Enjoy the results In just a few hours, your home will be free from bad odors.
How Ozoneair Clean works
✅ Clean converts oxygen into ozone – which penetrates fabrics, walls and furniture
✅ The ozone eliminates odor molecules, mold spores, allergens and bacteria
✅ You select the room size, press start – then the machine does the work
✅ After treatment: ventilate for about an hour – done
Unlike air fresheners or purifiers, Clean doesn't hide the smell – it neutralizes it at the source.
Popular with boat owners
In a wooden boat, material choices and surfaces are extra sensitive, so Maria and Tom are careful about what products they use in it.
– Clean is a good complement. We spend a lot of time maintaining the boat, so we are cautious with what we use.
For Maria and Tom, the boat is not just a means of transport, but a way to gain perspective and rest.
– When the sea is mirror-calm at sunset, or when we eat breakfast to the sound of the waves, we are reminded that all the work with the boat is worth it. I feel lucky to experience those moments…
Where Clean is used
✅ Basements and attics with mold and moisture problems
✅ Summer cottages that have been vacant over the winter
✅ Boats, cars and caravans with stale odors
✅ Furniture, textiles and clothes where the smell has really set in
✅ Houses and apartments with stubborn odors
