Get rid of odors and freshen up your home with these low-effort tricks.
No matter how hard you work to keep your home clean, smells happen. Whether it's a funky smell coming from the fridge or a stale, musty odor from an unknown source, these smells can keep us from fully relaxing at home. So here are some easy tricks to get rid of odors and make your home smell fresh and inviting.
Use Coffee Grounds to Deodorize the Fridge
If you’re anything like your parents (or grandparents, or great-grandparents), you likely have a box of baking soda perched inside your refrigerator to absorb funky smells. We have another idea: Swap that box with a bowl of used, dried out coffee grounds. The pantry staple works as a natural air freshener thanks to its odor-eliminating nitrogen. And you were just gonna throw those grounds out anyway, right?
Use Eucalyptus to Scent Your Shower
Transform your ho-hum shower into an indulgent, spa-like experience: Pick up some fresh eucalyptus from Trader Joe’s or your local florist, secure the stems with a rubber band, and use twine to hang the bundle from your showerhead. When you take a hot shower, the steam will carry the plant’s soothing scent. The stems should last two to three weeks, but if you want a stronger smell and don’t mind replacing the eucalyptus sooner, crush the leaves to release more perfumy oil.
