It is very common to smell dampness on our clothes straight out of the closet. Even if they are clean, clothes can have that unpleasant smell in the closet. And rightly so, since it is a closed environment, where the air circulates very little, the clothes suffocate and retain that damp smell.
Fortunately, there are solutions to overcome the problem. To avoid unpleasant surprises when wearing your clothes, quickly discover these natural remedies that will help you quickly get rid of these disturbing smells!

with ground coffee
The first effective solution to get rid of the musty smell in your closet is to use coffee grounds , which have great absorbent and deodorizing properties. Just place 2 bowls (or even more) with this ingredient in the corners of the cupboard and leave them until you notice that the smell has completely disappeared. We also remind you to change them every 2 or 3 days so that this remedy is even more effective.
With rice
As an alternative to ground coffee, you can also use another ingredient that is very good at absorbing moisture. You may not know it, but rice is known to purify the ambient air and eliminate unpleasant odors!
Add a few tablespoons of rice to cotton bags and place them in the corners of your cupboard. Rice’s ability to naturally absorb water will reduce the humidity in your closet and therefore the smell of your clothes!

Another very suitable way to eliminate humidity in closets is to use baking soda , which, like rice and coffee grounds, absorbs moisture naturally, thus freeing closed spaces from bad odors.
Place a small bowl filled with baking soda in your cupboard and change it at least once a week. The baking soda will absorb excess moisture and make bad smells disappear in no time! If you want to scent your closet, just make a thick paste with baking soda and 5 or 6 drops of essential oil (of your choice). Then put this mixture in a sachet and place it in your closet. We suggest lavender, which is very suitable for scenting clothes.
