IS your bathroom always full of moisture or does your fridge have bad odours?
A cleaning gran has revealed that tiny pieces of charcoal may be the answer.
Internet sensation Babs, who posts under Brunch with Babs, revealed three uses for any spare charcoal you may have with your BBQ.
She uploaded a video which has racked up over 660,000 likes.

“Cheap, easy and you probably have it on hand - especially this time of year!”
Her first tip is to use charcoal in your fridge.
She explained: “If your fridge is not smelling so great, a little bowl filled with charcoal is just the answer.
“The charcoal’s surface area is filled with millions of micro pockets and pores which just suck that odour right in and trap it.”
Charcoal can also be used if you have a damp bathroom.
Babs added: “Is it a little damp in the bathroom or underneath the sink?
“Fill a disposal container with charcoal, puncture some holes in the top and place in those moist areas.
“Those millions of little pores are soaking all that moisture right in.
“If your home is full of pets or children, consider putting the charcoal in a sock and hang it in a closet or basement that needs some moisture or odour elimination.”
Her third tip was using charcoal to make flowers last longer.

She continued: “Just drop a couple small chunks of charcoal into your vase.
“The charcoal acts as a filter to keep the water clear of contaminants which speeds up wilting.”
