i know you're not the firs person to think that...
maybe the first one to write it out loud though! lol

Someone told me wadded up newspapers will do the trick
to get rid of odors.
Supposedly the newspaper trick works for fridges and freezers
that have lost power for too long.


Charcoal works better. Activated charcoal is more effective.
Baking soda also helps, but Ozone may be your best alternative.


Have you ever heard of zeolite? It's used in a lot of cleaning and odor control products. I know that carpet cleaning and odor control carpet powders contain it. ^_^

Yes, I've used zeolite as well. Advantage is you can set it out in
the sun to "recharge".

My brother bought a car that had been full of garbage to go to the
dump when the owner died - about 6 months earlier. The car only had a
few thousand miles on it and he got it cheap - but it REAKED

The ozone is what finally made it liveable because it killed the smell
at the source. Charcoal, soda, and zeolite only absorb the smell out
of the air.
