Chapter 1: De-stinkify your life

De-stinkify your whole life, yo!

First purchase: Charcoal air purifier bags!

These things rocked my face off.

My car is affectionately called The Dog Wagon around here because it's the vehicle we haul the dogs in. And it smells like it sometimes. So I got a couple of these and put them out in the sun to "charge" them, and then tossed them in my car and BOOM, just like magic, my car smelled...well, like nothing. It didn't smell like dogs, and it didn't smell like fake coconut smells or plastic-cherry smells. It just didn't smell.

I became obsessed immediately.

We have a large master closet/room and it's the only place in the house where we still have before-we-lived-here-carpet. And it just smelled...closet-y. A large charcoal bag later, BOOM...nada.

Then our dipshit contractor unplugged the refrigerator in the basement while they were finishing out the space and everything in it went bad and it reeked. A Costco-sized bag of baking soda didn't even make a dent. Voila! They have charcoal bags that are sized for your fridge and use a fabric that is fridge-temperature-friendly! One in the fridge, one in the freezer and within 48 hours...all the stank was gone!

These are an official thumbs-up purchase.
