Question from s.a.
I am writing to ask input on how to clean our home from an unfortunate combination of good intentions!
Long story short, we thought a toxic substance leaked through our ceiling into our office carpet. We pulled back the rug, opened the window and turned on our ozone generating air purifier. Things got worse(inspite of all we have heard about ozone generators, we have used them for years and usually have excellent results with care and monitoring).
Turns out, a leather chair we purchsed from IKEA had a horrible reaction to the ozone and was throwing off toxics.
Though the chair is long gone, the vapors from this reaction have traveled throughout our home and it seems there is a toxic coating on everything that now reacts with heat and humidity, which there is plenty of since we live in Texas. So adding fresh air to the mix takes timing and almost always has the humidifiying factor.
Any ideas on how best to clean carpets, furniture, etc.? We need to remove the residue of this combination.
