Are moths a problem in your home? If so, then you probably use mothballs in your closet. Those mothballs can leave a lingering odor in your closets, too. Here's how to get rid of that odor without harming the effectiveness of the mothballs.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Potpourri blend
  • Potpourri bag or cheesecloth
  • Bay leaves
  • String
  1. Step 1

    Take about a cup of the potpourri blend.

  2. Step 2

    Place it in the potpourri bag.

  3. Step 3

    If you don't have a potpourri bag, cut a large square of cheesecloth and place the potpourri in that.

  4. Step 4

    Tie up the cheesecloth with string, if you use cheesecloth.

  5. Step 5

    Hang the potpourri bag in your closet where you have the mothballs.

  6. Step 6

    An alternative to the potpourri is to tie several fresh bay leaves together with string, and hang them in the closet.
