i dont know about the carbon but dryer sheets help mine alot. i doubt the sheets "clean" the smell but it covers it up well. i also use baking soda.

Carbon works great but just hanging it in the area wont do the trick properly. The air needs to pass through/around the carbon for the carbon to absorb the nastyies in it.

If you got that much carbon make a DIY carbon scrubber somehow. :thumbsup:
