Muzzyman... you don' t get it out by washing. You get the absorbed ordors out by heating the thing to a high heat forcing the molecules to be released from the carbon.
Reactivation is a process to restore the adsorption capacity of Granular Activated Carbon using a special furnace operating at over 800°C.
The above info was taken from Chemviron.....a very large industrial supllier and distributer of activated carbon. I have used and I am sure many others have also used activated carbon as a filtration device in fish tanks and ponds. Once the carbon fills it' s pores it becomes useless as a filter and as you can see needs to be heated to EXTREMELY high temps for reactivation..........in other words you can' t do it at home in the oven or dryer.
Maybe carbon suits are made of a special type of activated carbon......I don' t know. Just thought I would pass this on when I saw a few comments about using heat to reactivate a suit.
