to remove the smells of dead things and very dead things.

Don't get a piddly-assed one - get one that produces several
thousand millgrams of Ozone per hour (3,000 is a respectable
number).

Ozone will kill smells, bacteria, viruses, mold, mildew, pets,
humans, and toads given sufficient concentration. A one-hour
treatment of an average-sized room should be sufficient.


"Are Ozone Generators Effective in Controlling Indoor Air Pollution?

Available scientific evidence shows that at concentrations that do
not exceed public health standards, ozone has little potential to
remove indoor air contaminants."

That's why you leave the home during treatment with an ozone generator
that produces massive, completely unhealthy amounts of ozone, then air
it out before resuming occupancy. On this score, the Texan is not
pulling your leg.

You need not "air out" the area. Ozone decomposes into plain oxygen in about
an hour. That quality makes it easier to decontaminate areas that are
difficult to ventilate: root cellars, locker rooms, bottomless pits, etc.
