The Easy Coffee Filter Hack For
A Better-Smelling Home
By MICHELLE ROBERTS-GARCIA
Coffee filters are permeable paper cones designed to let coffee through, which make them ideal to use as sachets that you can fill with scented material to deodorize your home.
Regular paper coffee filters can keep oils or granules from leaking but are thin enough to allow scent out. Just test the sachet first to ensure it won't stain anything nearby.
Fill your filter with baking soda to deodorize your fridge, but for cupboards or other spaces, use rice. For the scent, you can add a few drops of essential oil or lavender buds.
You can also fill the filter with used coffee grounds and tie the top with string or a rubber band. Then, place your DIY deodorizer sachet inside your car, drawers, or shoes.
