Put Chalk in Your Closet to Make It Smell Better

Closets don't like to stay dry, and often attract unwanted scents (and sometimes creatures who like that environment). Once easy way to solve the problem? According to how-to illlustrator Yumi Sakugawa, the answer is chalk.

Chalk absorbs moisture, as many sources attest, so it's a helpful aid to reduce dampness—and the resulting smell in your closets. Just tie up a bundle with some sturdy string and hang it where it won't brush up against your clothes. It'll absorb moisture, the resulting smell, and your closet will become a nicer place to be.
