Beat odors with coffee grounds and old pantyhose
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.
