OK, so it kills the mold? I was under the impression from some videos that it didn't do much. So I assume it's dying because ozone is actually toxic to it?

It does kill mold pretty effectively at larger concentrations, but if you have a lot and thick layers of mold, some small amount can survive and starts regrowing back in days if you still have wet conditions (and uses that thick film of dead mold as fertilizer). Using ozone is common to de-mold car air conditioners, but if you have too much, you also need mechanical scrubbing to have lasting effect. Best way - dry, then remove mechanically as much as you can and then ozonate.
