Question from KCribley
I recently read in a magazine a tip to help with odors and moisture: put some charcoal in a coffee can, attach the lid and punch holes in the coffee can, and place in a damp area.
My questions are: Is there a difference in the typical charcoal you can purchase? Is there a specific type one should use for this function? Is it effective? Is it safe (for children–no touching of course, but ok for breathing?)?
I’m wondering if anyone has any experience with using this as a desiccant in bathrooms.
Thanks for your help!
