Where might one buy a store bought ozone generator?

amazing what they can do.

I once had to de-fume a carpeted house where an old lady lived. How she
lived there I don't know. She smoked heavily and was a cat person - any
number of cats over a number of years.  The combination of the heavy
smoke fumes and nicotine particulate in the house, combined with  cat
pee and cat poop accumulated in the carpet over the years - it was
baaaaaad! Your body automatically stopped your breathing when the door
opened as a self preservation measure. I set a large ozone generator in
the place and ran it for two weeks straight. At the end of the two
weeks, you would never know anyone ever smoked in there or that any cat
had ever trod the carpet. After the defuming, the place was cleaned then
new carpet installed. The old carpet was burned for safety reasons. The
company that replaced the carpet didn't want whatever was in that carpet
exposed to anyone, so it was more or less cremated in a closed incinerator.

I don't know what long term - 5 days or more - exposure of ozone to the
plastics and rubber in a van might do, but for a couple of days I don't
imagine it would do much. And to really get rid of the smell, the ozone
would get into every nook and cranny since it is a gas.

Good luck.
