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?
Red cedar hangers are good too ...
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.
MUJI "Red Cedar Block" 1 cm wide and 10 cm long blocks are packed
Usually used as a natural insect repellent
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!
Screw hooks can be purchased even at 100-yen stores
Can be quickly hooked on a hanger
Note that it will crack if you do not make a pilot hole (right image).
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.
Collectively in a closed space such as a shoe box
It also worked for sweaty gym shoes
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.
If you connect the two, it will be easier to put in and take out.
Even if the owner is sorted by the color of the string
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.
If you turn it upside down here, you can't tie it.
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.
If you hang it at the entrance, it will be easier to return it when you come home.
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.
Lightly scrape the surface to restore the scent.
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!
