Fighting moisture in the house

Bathrooms are often a source of high humidity, which can lead to mould growth. Instead of spending money on a dehumidifier, use charcoal. Simply fill a waste bin with charcoal, poke a few holes in the top, and place it in damp areas of your home. If you have pets, you can also put the charcoal in a sock and hang it where you want to eliminate moisture or unpleasant odours.

Keeping flowers fresh

Charcoal can be your ally in preserving the beauty of flowers. Just add a few small pieces of charcoal to a vase of flowers. This material works as a filter to help protect the water from contaminants that cause flowers to wilt.
