Well, there are two things you can do. One you've already found out is to use activated charcoal filter. But sitting around like that probably will not reduce the smell (the chemical that is causing the stench). You really need something like this http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...BYYN2Z4QCB87KQ if the link doesn't work search "Honeywell 50250-S 99.97% Pure HEPA Round Air Purifier". You want the air to actively pass through the carbon filter to trap the chemical that is causing the stench.

I think the air filter is the simplest. We use to have the cheaper one Honeywell Long-Life Pure HEPA QuietCare Air Purifier, 17000 but after the move to Oregon, I don't know where it is...

Another option bit more extreme and not practical for normal house. It's to create positive pressure inside so that air is always flowing out of your house.

I would recommend trying the air purifier instead of trying to mask the stench with Fabreeze or any scented candles. Only thing that really does the job is activated charcoal along with very fine HEPA filter and fan to force air through the filter.
