Wood "Red Cedar" is said to have insect repellent and deodorant effects. "MUJI" sells hangers and shoe trees made from the same material, but did you know that there are more excellent items for cospa?


That is "Red Cedar Block" . 20 blocks of about 10 cm are included and the price is 500 yen (tax included). It is usually used in a costume case, but if you take advantage of its quantity and ease of processing, it can be used as a substitute for other products.

Attach a hook to the hanger

A common way to see it on the net is to attach a screw hook to the top and hang it on a hanger. Drill a pilot hole with a drill or drill and screw in the hook to complete. A hand drill is recommended because it is a small and soft material. Compared to MUJI's red cedar hanger, which costs 300 yen (1,500 yen or more for expensive ones), it's a great deal!




If you are worried about falling, you can attach a string to the ring type.

For deodorizing clog boxes & shoes

It is also useful as a shoe box that tends to retain odors and as a deodorant for shoes. For shoes that smell a little sweaty, one foot was enough.



By the way, when using it for deodorizing shoes, connecting the two with a string will improve usability. The club hitch (clove hitch) is the easiest way to tie the string firmly to the stick, so we recommend it (I will explain it later). If you don't want to attach the hook, you can attach the string this way.



・ How to tie a club hitch
Hold the end of the string with your left hand (you can do the same with your other hand).


Make a ring by twisting the string of your right hand toward the back.



Hold the ring with your left hand and make another ring.



Place the second ring on top of the first and hold the root firmly.


Pass the block through the loop.


Pull both ends of the string and you're done.



This time, I will tie it once more and connect another one.

When the scent weakens, revive with sandpaper

If the scent of red cedar weakens, you can restore it by rubbing the surface with sandpaper. It's a really good item in the sense that it can be used for a long time.


It's hard to judge the insect repellent effect, but I personally like the fragrance and deodorant effect. If you like the scent, please use it all over the house!
