Believe it or not, ozone or activated oxygen, is the most effective process to remove smoke and other organic odor. Ozone is simply air with an additional molecule of oxygen. That third molecule will bind itself to other organic matter and oxidize, or eradicate, the matter. It is the ONLY true odor neutralizer. However, you must be extremely cautious with ozone regardless of what your contractor or neighbor tells you. When ozone comes in contact with water it will turn into hydrogen peroxide effectively bleaching moist or wet areas. Your lungs are very moist and this is why you must not breathe ozone or expose yourself to it. Ozone leaves a lingering odor, this dissipates within a day or so. You should wait 24 hours from the completion of an ozone treatment before entering the structure.
All in all, I use ozone as frequently as possible. As long as you follow proper safety precautions it is the best possible treatment for malodors.
