I do a lot of traveling & came across a GREAT trick airline flight attendants use: When there is a bad odor, they open & place a coffee filter packet near by! I learned this trick when I was on a flight & a man in the seat in front of me had the WORST body odor. The flight attendant gave me a packet to put under the seat in front of me & a packet next to me. It was such a relief! I started saving the packets given for hotel room coffee makers.
I always wanted to create a coffee packet thats a little more decorative. Here is what I created using: decorative cupcake baking liners, coffee & some Elmer’s Glue. This is so EASY! (After glue dries, place filter packets into ziploc baggies to keep them fresh.)
This also saved me on a long 10 hour flight last summer. The men sitting behind me took off their shoes & OMG!! You can’t believe the odor! They take up so little room & I always travel with them. Airplanes, Trains, Buses, Restrooms, Hotels, Cars, the list of where to use these discretely can go on & on!
Why does this work so well? Because coffee absorbs odor. At the very beginning you smell the coffee but that doesn’t last long & then the air is neutralized & you don’t smell anything. This is genius!
