charcoal pringles

Activated Carbon: Found in Bio Research. Aquarium shops. They have it in small granules, too (more surface area). Best placed in an area where there is air-flow. One suggestion is to first wash the Activated Carbon (or the charcoal, if that's what you're using) to get rid of the dust.

Good activated carbon should last more than 6 months.

Zeolite: Sad to say, chieffy, that odor gone is just too expensive. Again, in various aquarium shops, they sell zeolite (helps neutralize ammonia in aquaria). Much cheaper than P100 for that package.

Taking Carbon Pills: Carbon adsorbs (as opposed to ABsorbs) the bad stuff. It also adsorbs the good stuff. Make sure you have a dietician/doctor watching over you.

Ako rin Aquarium hobbyist.
Ako rin mataas ang cholesterol at triglyceride.
Tama yang charcoal at suka. Ginagamit namin yan
sa ref at kung bagong pinta ang bahay to get rid
of the paint smell.

mga pre,

tanong ko lang, kaya rin bang i-neutralize/deodorize ng charcoal yung amoy ng raid/baygon? balak ko kasing sprayan yung van namin e...

maraming salamat!!! :D

Yes. It will take longer if you use carbon/charcoal passively. If you use force air through it (gently lang naman) as in with a fan/blower, it will be faster.

Note, however, that smells that imbed themselves into the fabric (upholstery) will take longer to dissipate. I would suggest that you do not actually need to spray on the upholstery. Kahit floor lang... and if you close the doors of your van naman, trapped naman lahat ng insects inside, and they will die.

You don't actually need carbon naman... just open your window and drive away.
