Advice?
"
Thanks, Mike! I might have ended up in the wrong place- I'm not a professional, but I'm seeking advice from professionals.
We recently had my 23 year old nephew house/dog sit for us and god love him- he uses an awful spray cologne and far too much of it. We came home to a house that smells like the store you pass (and avoid) in the malls.
I am immune compromised and very very sensitive to any fragrance, chemical or otherwise, so it's actually causing me a lot of respiratory problems being in the house now. After 6 days, the smell has not dissipated at all and I swear it's getting worse. I've cleaned everything I could (linens, curtains, etc) but I'm wondering if carpet cleaning is the only way to really get the smell out - and is there any guarantee that will work? Should we investigate ozone or hydroxyl generators? We can't really leave the house, which is why I thought hydroxyl. Anyway, I'm not opposed to hiring a professional to help, but if there is something obvious we should try before doing so- I'm all ears!
Any suggestions?"
