While there are many products and methods for removing odors, you can use charcoal and charcoal-based supplies to remove odors by naturally absorbing them.
Things You Will Need
-
Fill disposable aluminum pans with 1 inch of powdered charcoal. Several charcoal briquets can also be used.
-
Remove kitchen odors by placing one pan in the refrigerator and one on the counter top. Set a couple pans in musty basements or bathrooms and near stinky pet bedding.
-
Leave the pans of powdered charcoal in place overnight so they can absorb the odors. Discard them the next day.
-
Spread charcoal-based cat litter over hard surfaces that smell, such as patios, cement or wood, tile and cement flooring. Allow the cat litter to sit on the site of the odor for 24 hours to absorb the smell. Sweep up the cat litter with a broom and dustpan then discard it in the trash.
