If you have a bunch of apples that are getting a bit mushy, use them to naturally deodorize your home before you toss them in the compost. Just cut the apples in half and place them wherever you have smells you want to neutralize: next to a litter box, inside a closet that stores shoes or even overnight inside a car overnight that unfortunately smells like cigarette smoke. The apples have the consistency of a natural sponge and they hold onto odor, so the longer they have their cut side open, the more neutralizing can occur. After 24 hours, just toss the cut fruit in the compost.
