Default 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.

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

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.

What does it mean when youtube just sends me to *my* watch later list?
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 . .

I THINK ozone is effective only against organic odors. 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??

I don't know how it's supposed to work. The other owner left 4-5 spray
bottles, almost empty. So much for that.

I was boiling vinegar today, whew !!

well if you keep adding new odors, you can hardly complain that the
stuff you used yesterday didn't work!
