Clothes and linens that have been lying in the closet “without movement” for a long time eventually begin to smell unpleasantly musty.

Getting rid of this “aroma” is extremely difficult – sometimes even washing doesn’t help.

Therefore, it is easier not to fight the consequences, but to prevent the problem - and activated carbon will help you with this.

According to housewives who actively use this life hack, if you leave a container with black tablets in your wardrobe, you will reliably protect yourself from the unpleasantness of mustiness.

How does activated carbon work?

This pharmaceutical product is capable, firstly, of eliminating unpleasant odors, and secondly, of absorbing excess moisture from the air.

As a result, your items, including bedding and clothing, will remain fresh and smell as if they were just washed.

What needs to be done

Take 2-3 tablets of activated carbon and grind them into a powder. Then pour the resulting powder into a suitable container.

You can also add other ingredients: a few drops of lavender essential oil mixed with charcoal will reliably protect your wardrobe items from moths.

And finally: for the product to work correctly, it must be replaced every 3-4 weeks.
