Beat odors with coffee grounds and old pantyhose

by Jen (April 5, 2007)

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.
