I have been there already; I have gone to the end of the internet for
solution and could not find one ? Until now. Let me tell you my story.
I moved into a condo that had cooking odors from spices and oils. I
cleaned, I changed carpets, I painted, I bough all kind of devices
such as air cleaners, ozone generators and ion generators. Nothing
helped, the odor never went away. I decided it was time to call
professionals, 3 different companies came over to test the quality of
the air and gave me their suggestion to the problem. This costs me a
fortune and their suggestions was more expensive then their tests. One
company told me that the air is so bad I must move out, the only way
to fix my problem was to break all the walls and ceiling, clean them
and rebuild them. An extreme solution that was unacceptable to me. So
I called another company, they offered me to buy a UV lamp and install
it in my ducts. This special device with UV supposes to kill
everything in the air. They guaranteed their device would work, so I
got it installed. The device did not work, and the company refused to
refund me. They all ran their own air quality tests, the they all got
different results ? at the end I came to conclusion that company that
offer air quality tests, make tons on money just based on fear, if
they have a product to offer they will scare you death so you will buy
it. I was getting desperate, and came to conclusion that the odor can
not be removed not even by a nuke. A friend of mine called me one day
and told me he knows someone that deals with odors. I called him. He
told me that there is a new company that is specializing in removing
odors without breaking anything. I was already frustrated, so when I
called the company I was a bit rude and said that I am not paying a
penny until the odor is removed for 30 days. They accepted the
challenge and came to my condo. They had 2 huge machines with them,
they were ozone generators. I protested and said that I have tried
Ozone generator before and it did not work. They explained me that the
ozone generators machine offered to the public and simply not
effective due to their low output. They explained that the Ozone
generators machines they have emit extremely large quantity of ozone
that would break any type of carbon based organism or compound. Later
I did a lot of reading about Ozone to understand how it works. Just
google it to find out the details. Anyways, they told me I have to
leave the condo while they run the machines. The machines pump ozone
everywhere - not only in the living area but also between the walls
and within the ceiling and also in the kitchen exhaust. They have
these special tubes coming out of the machine that you can inject
anywhere you want. I left my condo while they ran the treatment
because it is unsafe to breathe pure ozone. After 3 hours I came back
and the condo smelled completely like ozone. I could not smell the
odor anymore. They told me the ozone will break into oxygen very
quickly and after that the condo would be odor free. They wanted no
money; they asked that I will call them after a month. It has been one
week now and there is no odor. I believe they have actually solved the
problem I have been trying to solve for over 2 years. The treatment is
called ?Ozone Shock Treatment? however there are a lot of different
ways to do it. I did not mention any company names here so you will
know my motives are not to sell or promote. I am just telling you the
truth, nothing worked except the shock treatment. Don?t waste your
money on air tests and devices. I recommend you do this shock
treatment and take it from there. Save yourself the pain I have been
going over. I know were you coming from and I hope this little story
helps. |
