Hints From Heloise
11.08.09
My choicest story to emphasize the effectiveness of an ozone machine is that of my sister-in-law and her husband, who purchased a reach-me-down mobile home. The former owner of some 20-plus years was a severe smoker, and the home reeked of cigarette smoke. A month before they moved, I placed my ozone manufacture inside and let it run 24 hours a day until they moved in. And what a surprise to them -- no smoke scent!
I would advise your reader to contact a local cleaner who specializes in garment restoration involving smoke odor. -- Chuck Davies, retired kingpin director, Texas Laundry and Drycleaning Association
Chuck, you are assuredly right! Folks, check around for a cleaner who specializes in this acreage and has the equipment. My long association with the Drycleaning and Laundry Found has taught me to go to the experts, and you are one. -- Heloise
FAMILY HEIRLOOMS
Honoured Heloise: I had the same ideas as a reader who passed a lot of family items to her children. I did the same with my son, including my architect's World War I medals, his U.S. Marine Corps discharge and his concern awards. These items are of no intrinsic value at all.
