Hey man, I'm having the same problem as you and was about to post but your topic is here. I live in an apartment and have two in my closet . I bought one of the carbon scrubbers but the fan is obnoxiously loud, just about as obnoxious as the small light leaks that make it look like a sun is in my closet during dark times, and the blazing odor that seeps out of my room. The dryer sheets sounds innovative. I work a part time job at home depot and I remember seeing these filter things that you plug into an outlet and I thoguht about buying like 5 of those and throwing them in my closet. If I figure something good out I will post here.
