They also say that any perfumes, Fabreze type sprays, laundry soaps, etc., will not do anything to remove the odor that only the ozone treatment can do that. I'd bet this is an expensive treatment. What your DF needs to do is tally up the amount she spent on her stash and add it to her claim for reimbursement on the insurance. I'm not sure there is anything you can really do to salvage the stash short of professionally ozoning it.
Hope this info helps...

What about Ozium or something like that from the auto parts store ? My daughter is a smoker , her dh is a very heavy smoker also .. She uses that before we come over as the smoke and the house smells great .. I think that is the name of it .. May have to ask at the auto parts store .. (whatever the name is to get out the smoke smell).
