I just bought a hydroxyl generator to park in the garage and leave running for a while to remove the fire smell that occasionally rears its ugly head on very humid days.
Ozone is generally what is used but to use it you have to vacate as it isn't good for people and animals to be around. While hydroxyl is not as effecient, it is a lot safer. Everyone knows the old saw, Safety first should be the rule, if at play or work or school. I can turn the hydroxyl generator on and leave it.
We managed to knock out virtually all of the smell by simply leaving the doors and windows open 24/7 yet a small aroma tends to pop up on humid days.
Enter the hydroxyl generator which created millions and millions of little tiny hydroxyl radicals that
Now the something rather similar to hydroxyl radicals occur in nature and on sunny, windy days they tend to knock out various odors.
A hydroxyl generator generates millions and millions of tiny hydroxyls that eat up odors and poop them out as carbon dioxide and oxygen and deposits them on the floor where they can be swept up and recycled.
The oxygens can be taken to a place that bottles oxygen for use in cutting torches and utilized for cutting steel. The carbon dioxides can be sold at a reasonable sum to fire extinguisher factories for use in CO2 fire extinguishers. This make it a lot easier and more profitable than taking them to a government mandated recycling center where they will be reprocessed at great cost to the taxpayer.
Anyway that's kinda how it works in a way but it is how I explained it to a person with a degree in art because it got hiim off my back when I mentioned using a hydroxyl generator.
I am not stupid enough to pass that kind of crap on to a chemistry major.
