Charcoal air freshener bags are designed to help naturally create a cleaner indoor environment.
Did you know that indoor air can be toxic? Fumes from plastics, detergents, carpets, computer printers and dry-cleaned clothes permeate the atmosphere? The problem is even more severe in modern, tightly insulated homes. That’s because of reduced flow of fresh air from the outside.
However, it’s not always practical to keep our windows open, especially when it’s cold outside. During the summer, our houses are also shut tight while we run our air conditioners. Indoor mold spores can also be a problem.
Therefore, it makes sense to try to remove as many harmful airborne particles as possible.
That’s why a growing number of people seem to have discovered bamboo charcoal. This natural solution is easy to use, and will last a long time. (One bag filled with charcoal will last two years.) These bags are designed to neutralize toxins, as well as unpleasant pet and cooking odors.
Unfortunately, chemical air fresheners only make the problem of indoor pollution worse. While they may mask a noxious smell, there’s growing awareness that these artificial fragrances are a potential health hazard. They may also contain probable carcinogens, such as benzene and formaldehyde.
Charcoal Air Freshener Bags
All charcoal is able to purify the air by filtering and trapping toxins. But bamboo charcoal is highly porous, so it is especially good at capturing mold, allergens, chemicals and moisture.
One company named Moso has developed a line of bamboo charcoal bags, which can conveniently be placed anywhere in your home.
This all natural linen bag shown here is filled with charcoal, and is designed to cover an area of about 250 square feet, or about the size of a kitchen, living room or bedroom.

Some people may choose to place a bag in each room of their house. These bags will last for two years, and can be “recharged” by putting them outdoors in sunlight.
Since these bags are totally non-toxic, they are safe for use around small children and pets. The smaller version, seen below, will cover an area of 90-square feet. It’s just the right size for a car or a closet.
