I live in an apartment above a "meat packaging" store. Which means, 3 or 4 days a week, my place smells like rotting meat. Opening the windows just lets more of the smell in and closing the windows seems to trap it. I have a few air fresheners around my place, but they aren't covering up the smell so well. Any ideas? Cedar wood chips? Charcoal? I'm lost. Thanks.

18 mins or 30mins.I put it in the middle.I also use a product called Odo Ban you find it at Sam's Club in the gallon jug with a spry bottle attached or just the spray bottle at WalMart.I use it on carpets rugs in the air and curtains furniture. No one knows I have dogs until they see them .Also know one knew my husband smoked.thank god he quit .hope this helps.
