Beat odors with coffee grounds and old pantyhose

by Jen

This will freshen things the same way baking soda or charcoal do, because coffee grounds absorb odor like that:

• Dry out some used coffee grounds
• Put them inside old pantyhose – keeps them in but lets the air flow
• Tie it up, and you’ve got a sachet.

The only use I’ve heard of for this is for smelly shoes – stick the sachet down in the shoe for a while to deodorize it. I have a feeling it would work for smelly hampers, too.
