odors
I have been on rv group talking about getting rid of rv odor. I bought a
closed up unit which I'm working on. Anyway, I have been treating with ozone, and going to try vinegar cleaning. I ran into this product which I'll use soon. Like to report results. Chlorine type cleansing. http://m.youtube.com/#/watch?v=AVDv-LZfHfY Greg |

Spread a number of sheets of fabric softener (Bounce for example) on carpets, mattress, furniture, etc. Leave unit closed for a couple days. Bob-tx |

Anyway, I have been treating with ozone, What is the smell and what kind of 'treating'? I've locked a room up with an Alpine Air ozone generator for overnight and it ate all the odors of a smoldering mattress. My son uses them in cars that come in with dead animals, sour milk, too much perfume, cat urine, and god-knows-what-else. An overnight treatment is usually all that is necessary. 2 nights has never failed. and going to try vinegar cleaning. I ran into this product which I'll use soon. Like to report results.

Is Youtube broke-- Did greg send the wrong link? -- Or is he a spammer? [the handle looks familiar, so I didn't think that was it . . ] Jim |

If the smell comes, for instance, from outgassing of vinyl, it may be ineffective. |

How about a bottle of Febreze and about one minute spritzing? BTW - how does that stuff work? Could it be the same as Bounce anyway? What *happens* to the smelly molecules, do they just bind to the active ingredients and fall to the floor, to be vacuumed up, or would they be captured in the Bounce sheets - as that's certainly not my impression of how they work in a dryer where they give up some compound to be spread around the clothes??
