Bamboo Charcoal Shoe Deodorizer Air Purifying Bag - Natural Odor Eliminator - Last 365+ Days - No Chemicals - Air Freshener for Shoes and Closet - Remove Odor Naturally - [2 Pack] [Gray]

So this product was my first introduction to the 'charcoal' trend of deodorizing foul smells. As always, I am skeptical when seeing the intense product header: PURGGO Mini Natural Odor Eliminator, Air Freshener, Purifier - Smell Absorber: Shoe, Litter Box, Wet Dog, Bag - Odor Removal, Neutralizer - 100% Activated Bamboo Charcoal [Pack of 2] [Lava Gray]", but gave it a try after reading the 600+ positive reviews. I have this product for a little more than a month now and I 'think' its working? I put them in my suitcase when traveling and my dirty clothes don't really smell too bad afterwards. My room seems 'fresher'. I know it's not a miracle product and it's supposed to be a subtle difference. What I do know is that I bought a larger bag of 'charcoal' product for my car and that definitely works. So I am assuming that this also works on a smaller scale. At any rate, I would suggest giving it a try if you're looking for an environmental solution to freshening up your room, closet, car, suitcase, etc.My answers to the frequently asked questions:How many come in a package? 1 or 2?The package comes with 2.Cigarette smell comes into small bathroom vent from smokers on condo lower floor. Would the CAR sized Purggo help ? thanks for any ideas.It would help, but by a small margin. The odor would probably still linger, but it will help freshen the air. I bought a larger bag for my car and it did wonders.Would these be effective on shoes that aren't enclosed, like ballet flats?Absolutely! I put these inside my shoes in the suitcase when I am traveling to make it nice and clean on my vacation.Overall a great product and I highly recommend this to anyone!A side note: The packaging box is beautifully made and the product itself is slick and stylish. It has this 'island' fresh appeal to it. Definitely nice to hang it around the bathroom or a bedroom to give a sense of relaxation and purity. Definitely give it a try. If anything the product will make you 'think' that the air is fresh and that is all that matters!Like our review? Hit the "Yes" button below for it being useful.

I bought these primarily to put into my 75+ year old heirloom dresser passed down from my Grandma. Over that last few years, the drawers began to smell like old wood. I tried using scented drawer liners, cleaning the wood with Orange Glo, spraying the wood with perfume, Febreze, etc. Nothing took the smell out longer than a few days, which meant anything I put in the dresser also smelled like old, musty wood. I came across these during a "Today's Deal" and thought, why not? All I can say is WOW! After just two days, it took the musty smell out of the drawers and my clothes.I also have a suitcase that no matter what I spray in it or how long I air it out, always makes my clothes smell like the fabric lining even after a few hours. And it's not a cheap suitcase. Even putting clothes in a bag and wrapping them tightly wouldn't work. I decided to put one in my suitcase for a few days before a recent trip to see if it helped. Even after three days of being in the suitcase unbagged, my clothes smelled like they did when I washed them! I just left the bamboo charcoal bag inside the entire time. What a difference!Trying to mask odors don't work...I never really thought of trying to absorb these types of odors. I don't know how they would work hanging in a closet or on a door knob to absorb odors in a larger area. All I can say is they worked for my smaller spaces. I'm totally impressed and will be ordering more in the future. It's a great product!

I bought these for my stinky work sneakers. They are average, they absorb approx 60% of the odor in a 12 hour period. Odor definitely doesn’t go completely away but this helps. There is no smell to them. Easy to use.

These bamboo bags are great for odors anywhere and more awesome because you only need to put them in direct sunlight for an hour or 2 to reactivate them amd clean them up. They work great inside your shoes keeping the odors under control. I keep them in my gym and walking shoes. I have another set of large and smalls for around the house and in the fridge. Highly recommend. You will not be disappointed.

Works okay. Still notice odor from time to time in the shoes. Idk if I'm not using them long enough but so far it's decent odor control but doesn't eliminate the odor completely.

This product works great for shoes (especially boots) that become damp. They are not intended to put into your already smelly shoes to work miracles. You must use them religiously to prevent the moisture from breeding bacteria in the shoe (that's what smells). I put them all the way down, flat, into the toe. My husband actually gave our pair away to his friend because he recommended them that much. So, I just ordered the 2 pack as a replacement.

I have used these products for about a week now. I put these in my shoes after I get home from work from a 12 hour day and the next day they do not smell!! I couldn't believe it. I even made my friend smell them and nothing!! I also bought the larger ones for my car and they also help out. I smoke in there so when I leave my pipe to bake in the sun and I get back to my car, the smell isn't' great. But now, I have two of the Purggo things hanging from my head rests and the smell is gone. It doesn't smell good or bad, it's just neutral. Takes the scent away which I am very happy about. 10 out of 10 would recommend.

I am always cleaning my birkenstocks bc they get that notorious stink… i put these right inside the sandals in a bag before a trip and when I opened the bag, SMELL WAS GONE! I am honestly shocked because even after cleaning the shoes they still had some smell. So happy I found this affordable & easy option.
