Default Ozone Generator -vs- Cat Urine Spray?

Ozone Generator -vs- Cat Urine Spray?

I was hoping to get some advice regarding the effectiveness of a small
Ozone Generator to deal with the smell of Cat Urine Spray indoors.....


I was involved in some experiments years ago with removing the odor of
cigarettes from 'no smoking' rooms in hotels. Seems that maintaining
10 ppm ozone for a few hours got rid of most odors without a lot of
damage to fabrics and so on. I think it may not have succeeded
because, well, 10 ppm is a LOT of ozone, dangerous in even short
exposures, and the people that will work for hotel wages are just not
well enough trained to work with something that nasty.

The low levels of ozone made by the home ozone industry likely won't
help much with the odor, but they will, over time, damage materials
and possibly cause an asthma-like irritation.

The ozone machine has to have a reflexive control on it to maintain
ozone levels at 10 ppm too, which ups the cost a lot. We worked for
some time on a sensor for that, but most companies investigating the
deodorizing application gave up on it, as far as I know, and went into
water sterilizing instead. Liability concerns may have had something
to do with it.
