This time of year brings cold temperatures and wet weather, which in turn can bring damp, mould, mildew and musty odours into homes. Often found lurking at the back of wardrobes, around windows and rooms that aren’t used too often, it can spread quickly and be hard to get rid of. In this situation activated charcoal could be your best friend! There’s nothing it loves more than sucking up and trapping unwanted moisture and odour.
So here is an easy way to make activated charcoal absorbers for your home. All you need is a small cotton bag, some activated charcoal, a paper coffee filter and your favourite essential oil.
Firstly, clear everything away from your workspace and get an apron or old clothes. Charcoal powder can get messy!
Drip a few drops of your chosen essential oil onto the outside of the coffee filter and then fill it with activated charcoal leaving room to fold over the top as tightly as you can to prevent any from escaping.
Pop your little charcoal parcel into the cotton bag and seal the top, either by tying it neatly or sewing it if you are feeling handy.
For larger bags you can either add multiple charcoal parcels, or, if you are feeling brave, put a small square of paper towel with essential oil on it into the bottom of the bag and pour the charcoal straight in without using coffee filters and sew it/glue it/ tie it up tight.
Once complete it can be hung in wardrobes or on door handles, or simply placed on any surface and it is ready to do its job!
