How Long Can You Keep a Car Charcoal Bag Before Disposing of It?

[LaFaith]

It is best to dispose of the charcoal bag in a new car after one month and replace it with a new one or expose it to direct sunlight before reuse for better effectiveness. Additionally, bamboo charcoal bags should not be left in the car indefinitely, as their adsorption capacity is limited. Once saturated, they must be replaced or taken out to be sun-dried. Here are some related details: Lifespan of Bamboo Charcoal Bags: In reality, the lifespan of a bamboo charcoal bag is not determined by the duration of use but rather by the amount of pollutants it has adsorbed. If it has filtered a large volume or is saturated with contaminants, it needs to be replaced—even if it appears new. Even under clean conditions, a bamboo charcoal bag should not be used for more than a year. Functions of Bamboo Charcoal Bags: (1) They can purify the air, most notably by removing formaldehyde—a capability highly valued by users. Bamboo charcoal can adsorb harmful substances like formaldehyde and benzene released from paint, adhesives, coatings, and insecticides, making the air safer for humans. (2) They can release natural minerals absorbed by bamboo from the soil, ensuring safety and environmental friendliness. (3) They can generate negative ions, though these ions have a dust-collecting effect.
