Odour absorber for fridge & shoes
The porous structure of coffee grounds absorbs odour molecules. It works in the fridge, the shoe cabinet, the car and even on your hands after chopping onions.
What you need
- Dry coffee grounds
- Small open bowl or an old sock
Step by step
- 1
Dry completely
Only fully dry grounds absorb odours — damp ones start to smell themselves.
- 2
Fill a container
Put the grounds into an open bowl or a thin fabric sock.
- 3
Place and replace
Set it in the fridge or inside shoes and swap it every two weeks.
Good to know
- Against onion or fish smell: rub a little grounds on your hands and rinse.
