CLEAR THE AIR
The Air Purifying Bag from Moso Natural ($9.95-$22.95), available in three sizes, is stuffed with bamboo charcoal, providing a nontoxic, natural means to clean air and remove odors. It lasts for two years as an air purifier (it can be rejuvenated in sunlight) and is useful both for removing odors (from gym bags, closets, pet areas and anywhere else smells linger) and for dehumidifying to keep moisture, mildew and mold at bay. After two years, it can be cut open and added as a fertilizer to the garden. mosonatural.com
