I started to use activated charcoal soap when my mother bought me some for Christmas one year. I was impressed by how scrub it got my skin whenever I’d use it in the shower. I right away went to the store to buy more of it once I had used the entire bottle. Unluckyly, this charcoal soap isn’t the cheapest thing in the world. It’s a phenomenal product, however I’m not completely sure if it’s something I can use on a correct basis. Aside from acting as an abrasive material, charcoal also absorbs smells. There are bags full of activated charcoal that you can purchase for cars, drawers, and other small spaces to reduce smells because they get absorbed into the charcoal. That’s also why charcoal pills are used to absorb poisons and toxins when they are accidentally ingested by a human or animal. I even found air conditioning filters that were sprayed with small crystals of activated charcoal. Originally these filters were phenomenal products, and they would actively reduce the pet smells in my home. Unluckyly, the production standards for these filters reduced extremely with time. The last time I bought a charcoal air conditioning filter, it shedded in my air conditioning and got small charcoal particles all over my evaporator coil. That forced me to call my HVAC contractor to send out a serviceman to scrub the inside of the air handler. It cost me $200 at the end of the afternoon. That’s an costly blunder over a $15 HVAC filter, then needless to say, I quit buying charcoal coated HVAC filters.
