Yes, your morning brew might be doing more than just waking you up!

Why Coffee Grounds Work for Odor Control

Coffee grounds are rich in nitrogen, which helps neutralize and absorb odors in the air. They act like a natural air freshener, pulling in smells instead of masking them like some synthetic sprays. It’s an eco-friendly, budget-friendly solution—and chances are, you already have everything you need!

How to Use Coffee Grounds in Your Home

Here are a few easy ways to incorporate coffee grounds into your daily routine for a fresher-smelling home:

1. In the Fridge or Freezer

Place a small bowl of dried used coffee grounds in the back of your fridge or freezer to soak up lingering odors from leftovers or strong-smelling foods.

2. In the Trash Can

Sprinkle some dry grounds into the bottom of your trash bin before putting in a new bag. It helps absorb any odors before they spread.

3. In the Bathroom

Put a small open jar of dried grounds on a shelf or behind the toilet for subtle odor control.

4. In the Garage or Mudroom

These often-overlooked areas can get musty. A breathable pouch or jar of coffee grounds can help keep these high-traffic spaces smelling fresh.

💡 Pro tip: Make sure the grounds are completely dry before using them to avoid mold or clumping.
