Remove Odors with Ground Coffee

I had a chest freezer once. My daughter had accidentally unplugged it and I didn't find it until about 2 weeks later. The whole thing was filled with nasty rotten meat. I cleaned it out, bleached it and used everything under the sun and nothing helped rid the odor of spoiled meat.

Finally someone told me the coffee trick. Go to the store and buy the cheapest darkest coffee you can buy. If you don't have a grinder at home grind it at the store on the finest grind, like espresso. Come home and put the coffee in cheap knee high hose and tie them shut. Coffee will remove the smell of all most anything.

For books, I place the coffee in the knee high and tie it and the book up in a plastic grocery bag and leave it for about a week. Voila! No more stinky cigarette smells. I sell used books on Amazon and eBay so this is a must!

I do have allergies and I do buy many books from ebay annd amazon; but, I think you may be adding to my problem with your "coffee trick".

You see, I am allergic to coffee. I cannot shop in any book store that has a coffee bar in it because the odor of the coffee circulating through the store is enough to make me nauseous AND I get a rash on my hands after I handle the books, magazines, etc. there.

I noticed I also get a rash after handling some of the used books that I buy online also.

Can't you try something that is SAFE like baking soda or something like that. I do not know of anyone with a baking soda allergy. (I am also allergic to fragrances, tea, tobacco, and a lot of other things and so are a lot of other people.)
