Q: "How Do I Rejuvenate The Bags?"
To rejuvenate, we recommend placing your bag in the sun once a month for at least one hour. We recommend flipping over the Breathe Green Charcoal Bag Inserts occasionally while it is in the sun so all of the bamboo charcoal can rejuvenate. If you live somewhere that doesn’t have much sun, know that the Breathe Green Charcoal Bag Inserts will last for more than 30 days without sun, and in some cases as long as 90 days. However, you’ll get the best performance when you put it in the sun every 30 days.
Q: "How Long Does It Take For The Bag To Work?"
It begins working immediately after you open the bag. However, because it doesn’t give off a scent like an air freshener, it can be difficult to know if it’s working right away. But you’ll know soon. In just a few days, you will notice major improvements. Within a week, odors will be completely neutralized.
Q: "I Left My Breathe Green Charcoal Bag Inserts In The Rain; Are They Ruined?"

Q: "I Really Don’t Get A Lot Of Sun Where I live; Do I Have To Put It Outside?"
The Breathe Green Charcoal Bag Inserts do not need heat to rejuvenate. The UV rays from the sun rejuvenate the Breathe Green Charcoal Bag Inserts and there are UV rays even on cold days. The sun may not be as strong through, so leave it outside for two hours instead of one. Placing it inside behind a sunny window, may not be effective because most windows block out essential UV rays for rejuvenation.

Q: "Where Is The Best Placement For The Breathe Green Charcoal Bag Inserts?"
It depends on the bag’s size and purpose. It is best to put the bag in fairly open areas where air can pass through – it’s not good to tuck it away or place it underneath things (unless, of course, you’re using it for a gym bag or hamper – but when you’re placing it in a room or a car, you want to have air circulation around the bag). You do not have to hang the Breathe Green Charcoal Bag Inserts, unless you find it more convenient to store it that way. Placing it on a table is enough. The Breathe Green Charcoal Bag Inserts can be placed on absolutely any surface or material.
Q: "Why Does The Bag Only Last For Two Years?"
The Breathe Green Charcoal Bag Inserts work by absorbing pollutants from the air and temporarily storing them in its pores until rejuvenation. Once placed outside in the sun, the UV rays release and disintegrate the pollutants. Some of the more serious toxins, such as formaldehyde, can leave a very small amount of residue behind in the pores. This builds up over time, making the Breathe Green Charcoal Bag Inserts less effective at absorbing particles out of the air. Sometimes the bag lasts more than two years; you will have to be the judge of that.
Q: "Charcoal Bags: Why Is Bamboo Charcoal Better Than Regular Charcoal?"
Bamboo charcoal is simply a better all-around product. Regular charcoal is made from normal trees (not bamboo) so it takes decades for the trees to grow back once they are cut down. Breathe Green Bamboo is a grass and grows back to full maturity in 5 years. Regular charcoal production pollutes the air, whereas bamboo charcoal is a carbon neutral process. Bamboo charcoal is more porous (about 10 times), so you need a lot less of it to cover a much larger space.
Q: "Why should I use the Breathe Green Charcoal Bag Inserts?"
Many conventional air fresheners contain dangerous chemicals such as formaldehyde, petrochemicals, p-dichlorobenzene and aerosol pollutants. We created the Breathe Green Charcoal Bag Inserts as a safe and natural alternative. Plus, it lasts much longer, saving you a lot of money.
