    Default DIY Carbon Filter

    Black duck-tape
    Black "Pencil cup"
    Smaller black "Pencil cup"
    Black ladies socks (pantyhose)
    Activated carbon




    Poor some carbon in the mesh like "pencil cup"



    .... just enough so the smaller cup is level with the larger cup.



    Slip the smaller cup into the sock




    Tuck the sock into the smaller cup holding the end of the sock. Pore in the carbon.. keep holding the end of the sock.




    Now pull on the end of the sock and use your finger to guide the carbon into the space between both cups until filled.




    Now pull the end of the sock over the entire filter.. twist the end of the sock at the bottom and pull it up over the end of the cup.





    Now simply use duck-tape to place the filter over your exhaust fan. I used a rubber band to secure it...



    That's pretty much it. Make sure its nice and tightly packed in and put the fan at either end.
    I would pull air through it rather than push it.

    Must say its not my tutorial, but it is a good one.

    It's kind of unfair of you not to link to the original author, man.

    Air wick now do a mains operated air freshner with carbon filter. I just replaced their scent with ono liquid. Been using it 2 weeks now no problems with smell. Only 7.99 in morrisons but am sure other major supermarkets will stock it.
