    Also sold at Dollar General Stores, its called Damp Rid

    Ozone generator - turn car on, turn air on high (important), let sit for 30 minutes give or take 5 minutes, open doors and let air out for 2 hours...... we do this about 5 times a week.

    I agree. Anthony, I haven't run into too many people who would make this sort of gesture, but for me you get a pass my friend. I'd do the same thing...if I had an ozone machine.

    Helping people out, helping people learn, helping people be successful is what it's all about.

    As Mike Phillips says often, "Each one, teach one." Your offer is setting and example and setting the bar of professionalism high.

    If there's excess moisture in a room, car, or boat, Damp Rid is an excellent product. Wally World carries it, and big 10 lb. pails are available and recommended.

    That said, if I felt I needed to, I certainly wouldn't be afraid of getting close to the root of an odor by pulling the carpets. Especially, if the moisture is still present in large quantity. If it's minimal, Damp Rid fits the bill and use the ozone machine as well.

    Re: Funky Smell???!!!!

    I came across that experience with a family member.

    Pulled out the car mats and wash the heck out of em and put them in the sun til they were dry. It was a kid spilling milk on the floor that rotted out. Stunk to high heaven.

    It solved our car smell issue.
