Quite accidentally, I discovered a delightful new air freshener for the kitchen. Grandson David and I were cleaning up after a meal one day, and we smelled a marvelous scent that we couldn’t identify at first. Pancakes and coffee came to mind. We hadn’t had pancakes recently. Son John $ was in our house while we were in New York, but he wouldn’t have had that. It finally dawned on me that I had dropped a coffee filter on the floor before we took our trip. Loose coffee was on the floor, and I used the dust buster to clean it up. The flavor of the special grind was bacon/maple. The next time we used the little machine, it dispensed that scent throughout the kitchen. Of course, this lasted only until we emptied it, but it was great until then.

I’ve read that people put lavender in their vacuums, and 8 think I read something about essential oils too

LOL! Coffee isn’t bad if you take it black. I add stuff to make it unhealthy.

Lavender and essential oils sound a bit highfalutin’ to me, but they probably work very well to scent a vacuum cleaner.

Actually, I think the smell of ground beans is better than the taste of the coffee. Do you think my comment will drive away readers???

I love to put a blend called Citrus Fresh in baking soda and sprinkle on my carpets before vacuuming. It smells so fresh!

They need to make filters scented like that. You could fill the house with it. 💕

Wonder if you could just puff the scent under the door to rouse a late-rising guest?

How often I have wished to duplicate certain Comfort smells. Now I avoid food fragrances lest I find myself perpetually hungry.

Here is a wicked thought—fill your home with the perfume of lettuce, carrot sticks, and celery. Maybe throw in rice cakes and tofu.

It’s a shame you had to empty it. The vacuum cleaner store sells these marble-like items you put into your bag and the carpet smells like citrus … not overpowering either. There is nothing like coffee brewing or coffee beans being ground in a coffee grinder.

I’ll know to vacuum spilled coffee in a clean dust buster next time.

You will have to drop coffee grounds on the floor more often! Or maybe skip that step and just dump some directly in the trash can! 🙂

Good thought, but maybe coffee is too expensive to use as a deodorizer.
