the true odor shield

i know we've talked about eucalyptus before, but i'm going to address it again, with good reason.

you might remember from a couple months ago, i told you about the horrible mistake i made in purchasing "odor shield" garbage bags which smell positively repellent. even though they're long gone, their scent remains and it makes me miserable every time i open the under-sink cabinets where the garbage cans are in the kitchen and the bathroom. i've tried everything - reed diffusers, odor absorbers, sprays, air freshener pods...you name it, i've tried it.

then i got the idea of placing a bunch of my beloved eucalyptus in each cabinet. within 24 hours, no sign of the odorific odor-shield bags. i'm so excited about this solution for any problem areas including where the litter box is and any other spot that gets stuffy and less than fresh. LOVE.
