Smell may be a mute sense, but it actually
plays a big role in human emotions. We get
attracted not only visually, but also in the way
we perceive scents. Have you ever wondered
why your clothes have a unique smell? There
is something in that scent that feels so
familiar and comforting.
It can go in the other direction, though, to
something unpleasant, not what you want in
an enclosed space. It is therefore very
important to keep a fresh closet smell. We
have rounded up some of the most effective
and affordable smelly closet solutions in case
you need them.
1. Coffee Grounds
Who doesn’t love the energizing smell of
coffee in the morning? Aside from being a
strong antioxidant, coffee grounds also
have the ability to absorb foul odors,
including the ones hanging in your closet.
Simply store some coffee grounds in a jar
with poked holes and leave it inside your
closet for odor absorption.
Replace the coffee grounds once every month
to maximize odor absorption. They are
especially effective in removing musty smells.
2. Baking Soda
Just like coffee, baking soda is also a strong
contender when it comes to odor absorption.
Just store 3 spoonfuls of baking soda in a
breathable jar and leave it in your closet.
Baking soda is also best in getting rid of
mildew-like scents because of its moisture-
absorbing property. Plus, you can also use it
in removing stubborn stains.
3. Vinegar
Another 
popular 
deodorizing 
kitchen
essential is vinegar. Commonly used during
emergency situations where you suddenly
spill tea on your shirt in the middle of a long
day, vinegar is a strong solution that can
remove stains and deodorize your clothes.
Just mix equal parts of water and vinegar in a
bottle, spray it on the affected area, and you
are good to go! As a bonus, its smell fades out
in just a few minutes, too.
For cabinet use, simply spray the same
solution on your clothes and on parts of your
drawer.
You can also add a spoonful of vinegar in your
fabric softener to eliminate the fabric odor
completely.
4. Specialized Wooden Hangers
Between a wooden and a wire hanger, the
former is always a better choice, since it is
more durable and can provide support for
heavy fabrics. Plus, specialized wooden
hangers made from cedar can absorb
moisture and odor, as well as repel insects.
You can also use other scented wooden
hangers for special clothes and fabrics.
5. Activated Charcoal
Do want to know how to make your closet
smell good and mold-free? Use activated
charcoal! A few blocks of activated charcoal
make for potent deodorizers and air purifiers.
This handy household compound is a must
for every closet. Just store it in a breathable
container, and your closet will smell as good
as new.
Activated charcoal is also reusable. In fact,
you can use one block for as long as two
years! Just place it under direct sunlight for a
few hours once monthly to re-activate its
deodorizing ability.
6. Soap
A soap bar can lend its scent to the
environment, and you can take full advantage
of this to keep your clothes smelling fresh and
clean. How? It’s easy! Cover the soap bar with
a cloth or paper towel, and leave it on top of
your garments.
The stronger the scent, the better, so choose a
soap bar that has a strong, desirable scent for
you. You can also use grated soap and put it in
a breathable sachet.
7. Disinfectants and Air Fresheners
Odor is a strong indicator of the presence of
bacteria and germs, making air fresheners
and disinfectants a must-have household
item. For optimal results, spray any of these
solutions on parts of your closet every 3-4
days to keep the odor away.
You can also make your own DIY air
freshener by mixing equal parts water and
vinegar and adding 10 drops of essential oil.
Whether we like it or not, fresh clothing is a
part of personal grooming, so it is always wise
to take a closer look at our clothing storage.
Most importantly, you always need to use the
right detergent when doing your laundry.
