You can use a paper coffee filter to put in a flower pot to cover the hole, before putting the soil in. It keeps the soil from running out when being watered.
I store my tupperware with the lids on with a coffee filter inside and it removes the "plastic" smell-you can use them in any enclosed space to remove musty odors.
