Smells Absorb moisture and smells

Submitted by Joelle

If you have a cottage or travel trailer, during winter storage, place opened bags of charcoal briquettes on the floor. The briquettes absorb the moisture and smells.....

good idea Comments By: lesilk I really love the idea. Can anyone tell me where I can charcoal? I am in NYC. Thanks!   Smells Comments By: Jinty Fill pretty containers with bicarbonate of soda and leave around cottage or home this will absorb any nasty smells. Also cut lemons covered with salt leave a nice fresh aroma. Also baking some home made bread makes a cosy welcoming smell and you have the treat of eating freshly made bread and butter to share with your guests.   dirty water smell Comments By: Carol I have recently cleaned my carpet after a coffee spill. I have done it several times over the course of a week as the stain would not come out. The stain has almost come out but I am left with a terrible smell of dirty water. I just cannot get rid of it. Has anybody any suggestions? Thanks Carol
