Deo blocks are primarily used in public, school, office or home bathrooms for odour removal and air freshening. They slowly release their scent over time, helping to keep unwanted smells at bay. But did you know there are several other uses for this brilliant product?

Here are eight ways you can use deo blocks at home to deodorise other places prone to smelliness:

Use 1: Mask smells in your garbage bin

Place this product in the bottom of your garbage bin. It will prevent odours from building up and keep the area smelling fresh. This is a great tip over the holidays when bins aren’t collected as frequently.

Use 2: Deodorise shoes or gym bags

Put a small deo block inside a sock or breathable cloth bag and tuck it into shoes, gym bags, or other sports gear. This works well for sneakers or sports bags that tend to absorb odours.

Use 3: Freshen closets and drawers

Add a piece in a corner of your closet or a drawer to help keep clothes smelling fresh. Just be sure it doesn’t touch delicate fabrics directly to avoid any residue. Also remember to wrap it in a breathable cloth.

Use 4: Control pet odours

If you have a designated area for pet supplies or a litter box, place a deo block nearby in a ventilated container. It can help control pet odours between cleanings. Just be sure it’s out of reach of your pets!

Use 5: Refresh the car

Hang some in your boot or under the seat in a mesh bag or a fabric pouch to keep your car smelling fresher. It can also be used in the glove compartment or door pockets.

Use 6: Remove the staleness from storage boxes

Do you keep clothing, blankets, or other items in storage boxes until winter comes round? Chances are it develops an interesting smell over the months in confinement. By adding one of these blocks in a fabric pouch, you can say goodbye to stale smells.

Use 7: Liven up the garage

Garages have a distinct smell. Fuel, grease and other outdoor equipment add to the scent, but you can keep it smelling fresher by adding a deo block or two (depending on the size of your garage).

Use 8: Add a fresh smell to your vacuum

Placing a small deo block inside your vacuum bag or canister can release a pleasant scent while you clean. This is especially helpful if you have pets or if your vacuum tends to pick up odours from carpets and floors. Be careful not to damage your machine so remember to place the block inside a breathable pouch.
