Campden tablets is what I use. Dont know if it's 100% effective, but see here: http://www.nationalhomebrewclub.ie/forum/index.php?topic=563.0

Campden tablets work fine. You'll be overdosing using one in a homebrew batch, but it'll do no harm.

You let it vent off overnight

That only works for Chlorine, doesn't it? I thought Chloramine was more tenacious.

Sorry thought the question was chlorine.
Just make sure your campdens are potassium rather than sodium metabisulphate as the latter can leave residual salts that can have an impact on flavour
