    Personally I find very little can actually survive ozone, so I would wrap the entire couch in a layer of plastic, put a cardboard box in there with a baking tray on the bottom, and run the ozone generator on top of the baking tray (in case of shorts. The cardboard box keeps the plastic off. Opening faces the couch) you can generate so much ozone so quickly with those machines it might alter the couch’s color honestly.

      I personally found it easier to just clear the house of anything I didn’t want hurt (humans, pets and plants). Then let it run for half an hour, while we go on a long dog walk. A few hours later, open all the windows and doors to air out what hasn’t broken down naturally.

      Does an excellent job of getting various smells out of the house, Inc dog and horse.

          Partner owns one. The smell gets into clothes, then transfers to anything in the house that can absorb it. The sofa is particularly bad.

          And no, hosing them down as they approach the house doesn’t work. They just end up smelling of wet horse instead (as well as being pissed off).
