Keep the Closet Crisp
We put a lot of things in the closet. It’s safe, convenient, organized, easy storage. Except a lot of things end up staying in that closet. Sometimes, for quite a while.
The thing about closets is that sometimes they stink. Literally stink. Whether you’ve got old shoes in there, poor ventilation, dust, dirty clothing, or any number of odor-creating oddities, the closet creates this sealed chamber where things are preserved inside, both the good and the bad.
And when you’re putting things you want to keep for a while in there, you’re putting them at risk of catching those odors. It’s not great.
You could use an air freshener, but that pretty much only covers the smell. You can clean the closet itself, but that’ll take quite a bit of work. You can remove the smelly things, but they’re still smelly and might not be washable.
Turns out there’s an easy way to remove odors from spaces (and items) that doesn’t require you to get your hands dirty. All you need to do is put a freshener bag down, leave it be, and give it some sun once a month. The activated charcoal pulls, absorbs, and nullifies the molecules carrying the odors.
