Coffee grounds for a fresh smell

Got a bad smell somewhere? Just set out a small bowl of coffee grounds and the smell will be gone soon. When you're through with them, put them in the garden or on house plants.

Cheap "air freshener"

Use spices to make the air in your home smell better. Ok,. that's obvious... but how? Put them in a bowl of water and set them where the sun will shine on them, or use an electric or candle powered simmer pot with a little water and some cinnamon, caraway, rosemary, cloves or whatever has a smell that you enjoy. You can make your own air freshener to spray in the air, too, by using water that's had spices or other smelly things simmered in it.
