How do you remove mildew odor?

Kitty litter is a cheap an effective way. Get the kitty litter that is like fine sand. You can put it on anything and it will absorb the mildew odor. Leave it for at least 3 hours (longer if you can) then vacuum up. Kitty litter is also good to carry in the trunk of your car if you live in a place that has a lot of snow. It helps to give your tires some traction. Marcy


Can activated charcoal filter remove bpa from water?

, Can activated charcoal remove bpa from water? If not, how can it be removed. A steam distilling system? Thank you. John Z. charcoal is so porous that it will absorb some chemicals like chlorine, but it is not great as the only filtermethod in say Brita filters. I distill my water and as far as I can reason out, all chemicals are left out unless they have a lower boilingpoint than water (100C) in which case they would escape from the steam pipe through a small vent in the top. So the answer is NO to charcoal and YES to distilling water.
