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.....

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 on 2008-07-26
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

 
Smells and Stains in Carpet Comments By: Patricia on 2010-07-10
I use Hydrogen peroxide on stains and smells on carpets. Saturate 2" past stain or smell let sit for 30 - 60 minutes. Place towel on top and step until all moisture is pulled up. For old and smelly odors I leave on for 24 hours. Always test in test spot. Would not use on Oriental rugs. Sometimes the smell may last but after a couple a days the peroxide eats most smells.
