Getting rid of campfire smoke odor

LOL! What a bunch of ruffled feathers over a post that was just to say do some investigating before you believe there's causation! Must have been a quiet night in the campground or on TV!

You are just exchanging one problem for another. We had a horrible smell in our basement right before we moved-a few bowls of white vinegar placed around and good ventilation took care of it in a few days.

Your link doesn't go anywhere. But yes, they need to be used with caution. They generate O3 which is toxic to anything that breathes O2. I said that above. But O3 is very unstable and once the extra Oxygen molecule attaches it to itself to something(the offending odor) it stabilizes back to O2. You can use them to even kill mold.

Some light reading on Febreze ingredients.

ingredients in Febreeze

I'll take this with a large grain of salt... One of the listed ingredients, propylene glycol, is a widely used and accepted, safe food ingredient, yet this writer claims it is carcinogenic. In fact, he claims almost everything in it is carcinogenic. To read this article, you'd think Febreeze will kill you dead.

Far too many of these "green" sites are run by people who have no expertise, or apparently even the ability to use Google.

Can you get a grain of salt as big as a truck?

A website full of useless garbage. Originally started by one Tara Wagner, the operator of a essential oils business known as Xotara, which operates under the Doterra unbrella which is nothing more than a pyramid scheme. It eventually takes you HEREso head on over and get out your credit card LOL.

I'll take this with a large grain of salt... One of the listed ingredients, propylene glycol, is a widely used and accepted, safe food ingredient, as well as being the ingredient in RV antifreeze, yet this writer claims it is carcinogenic.

Eat a bunch of Frijoles and Bud Light. Once that kicks in, you won't notice the smoke smell....
Or sell it an and start racking up rewards points at the Marriott where there's no campfires allowed.

Try ODORCIDE concentrate.

You've no doubt heard of "noise-cancelling headphones." Well, what you may not have heard of, and what you need to get is "odor-cancelling nose plugs."

I've smoked out my trailer many times. The smell will go away on it's own. Yes if you can leave windows open it will dissipate faster. But I'll bet if you do absolutely nothing, by this Friday you won't be able to smell it at all.

air it out as best you can and move on. brew some good coffee in there to cover up with a good smell. Wouldn't bother me, campfire smoke goes with camping IMO and these old farts complaining about a campfire in a campground best stay away from me.
