Have you ever taken a Home listing with Pet Odors, Musty Mildew Smells, Smoker Smell, but were afraid to discuss it with your seller for fear of offending them? Maybe not get the listing.
I am sure that some of you may have. So what do you do? My neighbor gave me the answer!
This type of Home may be hard to sell without having your seller install Expensive new carpet, cleaning the furniture, drapes to try and get rid of the smell.
Most sellers will go to the local store and buy products to mask over these smells Unfortunately, most of these products are chemical based and will only cover up the problem and not really eliminate it. This is annoying because you will think that you had gotten rid of the smells, but then after a couple days or weeks the scent is back, with the addition of a faint chemical smell.
Since I am a smoker and smoke in my home, it had accumulated a smoker smell. One of my neighbors mentioned it to me one day when she was over to visit, telling me that it bothered her and that I should do something about it.
She told me about a product that she owned to purify the air in her home that she was sensitive to pet odors, pest control chemicals, smoke, dust, etc. When she got back home she phoned me the product information and I immediately ordered the same Ozone Odor eliminating unit she had.
It came in and I hooked it up and have used it ever since, my home is now odor free and she loves visiting us again.
If you run across this problem you may want to suggest buying a unit to your seller, it is much cheaper than installing new carpet, which will not completely eliminate the problem anyway as the smells have permeated the furniture, drapes throughout the home.
If they won't spring for one, then buy one for your home and loan it to them for a few days. it will make the home smells disapear and you will sell the home much faster.
I am including this product link in case any of you need it.

I was unaware that anything could be done about the issue, short of removing and replacing all fiber materials, cleaning and repainting using a product like Kills,etc.
There was a system designed that guaranteed 100% that odors would be removed and the company is a local one in northern California that designed the system. They only treat locally however. I will follow your link to try and discover if this is a product that is different from the air filters like sharper image and others offer. As soon as those machines are turned off, the oils of the odor causing agents begin oxidizing again and the smell returns.
Smoking is an example. The tars emitted are oil based in the smoke. It permeates and adheres to all surfaces. It is absorbed by surfaces that are porous. The only way to remove it is to dissolve the oil and remove the particulates. Ozone by itself does not break that oil down, it simply removes it's oxidation byproduct, the odor. However, if the accumulated oil from the smoke is not removed, at some point the nagging re-oxidation of those oily smoking films will return.
I will check out the product. there has never been a smoker in my home but I have had a few clients home that were totally disgusting with cigarette smoke. One in particular comes to mind and the smell was lessoned but not totally removed.
If what you say actually works, you may have shared a significant resource and one that may be a real winner. I booked the page of the company and your post. I will look into it and hopefully find that you have solved an issue i currently held that had no solution, except a total remodel and changing of all surfaces.
