1. Shoe Refresher
Say goodbye to stinky shoes with this simple DIY hack.
Grab an old sock and fold it over a container.
Fill it with cat litter, and tie off the end.
Pop it into your shoes and boots to absorb moisture and eliminate odors.
Plus, toss one in your gym bag for instant odor control on the go!
2. Closet Deodorizer
Bid farewell to musty closet smells by placing containers filled with cat litter at the bottom of the cupboard.
Spice containers are great as their convenient design allows the litter to work its magic while keeping everything tidy!
Tuck these containers into the back corners of your closets to enjoy fresh, odor-free spaces.
3. Under the Sink Savior
Is there a mysterious odor lurking under your sink? Combat it by placing a container filled with cat litter at the back of the cupboard.
The litter will help absorb both the smell and excess moisture, leaving your under-sink area smelling fresh and clean.
4. DIY Ice Pack
Besides odor control, cat litter has other clever home uses.
Need a quick ice pack for minor injuries? Fill a ziplock bag with litter and some water, seal it tightly, and pop it in the freezer.
The litter retains cold temperatures, creating a flexible ice pack that molds to your body's contours for soothing relief.
5. Paint Disposal Solution
Mix leftover paint with cat litter to solidify it for easy and mess-free disposal.
Not only does this save you time and effort, but it's also a more eco-friendly way to handle paint waste.
6. Leaky Toilet Fix
Don't let a leaky toilet create a mess in your bathroom.
Place a shallow container, like an old lid, filled with cat litter under the leak to absorb water and prevent puddles.
This quick fix buys you time until you can address the underlying plumbing issue.
