Freshen Indoor Air Coffee Tealight DIY
I’m not a big fan of all the chemicals and artificial ingredients in many air freshener products. I don’t want to release those things into the air that the kids and our pets are breathing, but there are times when you need to freshen the air.
Maybe you have lingering odors from dinner or your kids just brought home a bag of stinky sports gear. Either way, the air quality is less than pleasant.
There are a lot of ways that you can freshen indoor air naturally. You can open the windows, put on a pot of simmering potpourri, or try this coffee tealight DIY.
The scent from this coffee tealight comes from the oils in the coffee beans and not the candle itself. The tealight can be replaced when it burns down and the coffee beans can be replaced when you no longer smell the scent when you burn the tealight.
Can you put a candle in coffee grounds?
You will have better results if you put the tealight in coffee beans instead of grounds. They contain more of the oils for a better scent. I started with this blend.
This is a very flexible DIY project. You can use any type of coffee beans depending on the scent you want. I choose plain coffee beans but you can try hazelnut or French vanilla if you prefer.
How do I make my house smell good with coffee beans?
The size of the glass bowl you use can be changed depending on what you have available – just add more or fewer tealight candles in the container depending on the size.
You don’t need to use a clear glass container if you don’t have one. You can use a ceramic bowl, etc. Just be sure not to place the candle too close to the edge of the glass so it doesn’t break.
Once you know how to keep air clean naturally, you won’t need to rely on chemical fragrances. You may want to try a few natural air purifier plants in your busiest rooms.
How do you use coffee beans as a deodorizer?
You can place a bowl of beans or grounds in your refrigerator, which will help absorb the odors naturally. You can replace them every few weeks when you notice the odors are back.
I also get great results with charcoal deodorizers. I use this brand.
