    This stuff works! Also works great if you get that mouldy smell from your cars AC system. Thanks for posting JB.

    If you can get access the the a/c evaporator in the sleeper, (usually under the bunk?), open that up, there are just a few screws holding it down, and clean out that area. the dirty air will flow across that as the a/c is on and when that gets wet from the condensation, the smoke and dust from the floor will stick to it.

    You can either use a blow gun, or a vacuum cleaner. Then spray some Febreeze into that as well.

    Also check under the passenger front area for the cab evap as well, repeat the same procedure if it is possible. You may be surprised and find either one of these clogged with pet hair as well.

    Ozium is the best for getting rid of smoke. Also, make sure to spray it through the air system, clean the carpet really good too.

    I had one tour where I had 12 people smoking on the bus, on off days, I'd clean the carpet, wash the bedding and spray a little Ozium through the bus and air system. The next day you wouldn't know you had a smoker on there.

    Check out a commercial "Ozonizer" like the brand Alpine Air. They are used by car dealers to remove all odors from vehicles. The units are pricey(I have one) but they work 100%.
    When I treat a vehicle, I leave the unit on inside all night set to maximum. It must be aired out from the ozone afterward for several hours but it nukes any odors from the vehicle, lol.
