Yeah the ozone fix is the way to go... when Brady and I were sharing an 10'x12' room we built at the back of the shop to save rent for a year.. it would sometimes get pretty bad ha.. so we made an ozone generator with a glass jar, and two pieces of tinfoil. You wrap the jar on the outside with one piece of foil, then line the inside with the other. Then you connect one piece to one end of a high voltage power supply(in our case a large neon sign transformer) and the other piece to the other side of the power supply. Then use a really long cord and plug it in from far away(that transformer could easily kill a person) and then wait for a few hours... then wait another day or so for FULL breakdown of the ozone. When we walked in, we couldn't smell anything, all distinct odors were gone completely. It worked to an amazing degree. The safer route would be to rent an ozone generator like they use in hotels... but you don't get the excitement, danger, or creepy purple plasma-like arcing that you do with the homemade version ha.
