Shoppers say these charcoal bags can make 'smells disappear' for just $13 (over 40% off!)
Ever had an odor come at you like a punch in the face? It's happened to a lot of us — from a shoe, a closet, a refrigerator — but you don't have to suffer. Amazon shoppers have uncovered a solution that will leave just about anything smelling fresh and clean: Nature Fresh Charcoal Odor Absorbing Air Purifying Bags and you can get a four-pack for $13, down from $23 — that's over 40% off!
These bags are made with activated charcoal to absorb odor naturally. They come with grommets and hooks, so you can drop them in a gym bag or hang them in a closet.
Designed to soak up stinky smells that can seep into every corner of your house, these little bags can undo all sorts of olfactory violations, whether it's the lingering scent of last night's dinner or fumes coming from a musty closet. These bags are nothing like a room spray or plug-in air fresheners — they don’t mask stink, they actually absorb it.
They're made with activated charcoal and if you’re not familiar with activated charcoal, it’s one of those all-around superheroes — from taking care of tummy aches to filtering water. It’s not like the briquettes you use on the barbecue, rather it is charcoal that is processed to bind with toxins, making it highly absorbent. Just drop or hang these bags in spots that need a little odor intervention and in no time, you'll get that breath of fresh air you were expecting in the first place.
Another benefit of these bags is that they're also reusable — just lay them out in the sun for some UV sanitation and they’re good to go again.
Amazon shoppers can't stop raving about Nature Fresh Charcoal Odor Absorbing Air Purifying Bags. They racked up over 10,000 five-star ratings with claims like they make 'smells disappear' — even some of the toughest odors. We're talking an old fridge and the smell left behind by cigarettes.
"I sneaked a few into a building where the owners painted over the walls and the scent of tobacco lingered from when the place originally allowed smoking," wrote a five-star fan. "The smells disappeared. These work very well."
"Bad smell in a camper refrigerator, hung on in there for a few days, smell gone!" gushed a happy shopper.
There are plenty of doubters that have been converted and want to shout about their find.
"I doubted the claim that it eliminated all odors, but man... As a fur baby mom, I put it where the cat boxes are, no smell. 0," shared a rave reviewer. "My hubs smokes in the garage, put one in there, no smell coming into the house. 0. Bathroom where small boys pee... No smell! And they are "rechargeable".
"I was hesitant to use these. Didn’t think they would work. They proved me wrong!" a believer wrote. "Our cabin is very dusty & smells musty. I placed 8 bags in a 800 sqft room with 24’ high ceiling. It took a few days before I noticed how fresh smelling the air was. So I bought more for loft bedroom & bath. The musty smell is gone & my furniture gathers very little dust. I’m sold on this product for my home. Just bought 12 more for other rooms & basement."
Big enough for the fridge and small enough for a sneaker, odor has nowhere to hide!
