Buy an ozone generator. Not a full system; just the ceramic plate generator itself, and use it with a box fan and outlet timer or smart timer. Bought one 10 years ago, have had to change the paddles once (I dropped them) and it's removed every smell I've encountered from house to car to garage to fish - whatever. Look into it a bit - it is not safe to directly inhale - but becomes inert within 3 hours (you'll just want to be out of the house while it runs). It uses highly-reactive O3 (Ozone; form of oxygen found in stratosphere, the 'electricity' smell you can detect after a thunderstorm, or around arcing electronics (it may remind you of the smell of an old TV, or a power strip, it's hard to describe). It reacts with everything in the air, killing viruses and bacteria in the process to leave 'bad smell' particles inert. The only concerns are: 1. Don't be in the room, or house, it's running in while it's running. 2. It can damage some plastics and leather - check your wiring and don't let it run for more than 6 hours at a time. I don't want to come off as selling anything by linking a specific product; just Google 'ozone generator ceramic plate' and get anything well-reviewed. Or, you can get the box type instead of ceramic plate type for convenience - but they're much much smaller and weaker, more expensive, and only include a small PC fan and timer which you can buy separetly (cheaper and better performing). You'd have to go room-by-room thay way. Good luck!
I just saw the article and had to get more info. This is fascinating 👏
Investigating this because I inherited an old house that has an old house smell 😶
