Goodbye humidity
Moisture is a very common and frequent problem, particularly in the colder months of the year. If you don’t own specific appliances in order to reduce its rate, you need to take action naturally. And that’s where rice comes in because it has the ability to naturally drain moisture, in fact it’s also the first trick you use when wetting electronic appliances. All you will need to do is fill a bag or bowl with rice and place it in a corner of the room from which you want to draw moisture out.
For bad odors
Not only moisture, rice also quickly and effectively captures bad odors in the house! In this case, it reminds us a lot of baking soda since it is an odorless method that nevertheless turns out to be one of the best choices. All you need to do is put a bowl full of rice in the areas to be treated, think, for example, of the kitchen or bathroom. If you want to add a nice smell as well, pour a few drops of essential oil into the bowl and stir. The rice will help spread the scent.
