Bamboo Charcoal Air Purifier Bags

I had a problem. Well, two problems, but they were the same problem. So, one problem. And it was... stinkiness. Specifically, nasty diapers and a distinct elderly-person's-home odor. The first came from the general vicinity of my son's diaper pail (no matter how tight it auto-twisted those bags shut!), and the other came from an amazing yard sale score: a gorgeous cream, navy, and coral Mexican blanket for $1. ONE DOLLAR!!! Anyway, said blanket came home with me, lived in a box for a few months during our move, then emerged and graced our new guest room/office with its presence. And it's odor, as I found out a few days later.

I wanted something to eliminate the odor and not just cover it up. Sound familiar? Yeah, Febreze didn't cut it. And I can't really Febreze a plastic diaper pail. But, my Amazon hunting yielded these little treasures. Charcoal-filled bamboo bags meant to absorb odors. I hung one up behind the diaper pail (right at stinky bag-top level) and laid the other one on top of the folded blanket in the guest room. Days, or weeks, or maybe a month passed (#momlife), and I suddenly noticed that the odors were gone. These things work! One keeps the diaper stankiness to a minimum (there's no avoiding that blast when you open the lid to cram in just. one. more.) and the other sucked all the "mung bean" smell outta that beautiful blanket.

Helpful Info
Here's where to buy these awesome things.
- $6 for 2, $12 for 4 (ah, I see what they did there...)
- Recharge once a month by placing the bag in direct sunlight for an hour.
- Other suggested uses include shoes, the refrigerator, freezer, car, gym bag, purse (though that might be a bit awkward, right?), bathroom, closet, drawers, sporting equipment, and luggage.
