Rid the smell of coffee. (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by DizzyCroutons
I don’t know if anyone else has found a remedy to this, but is there anyway to get rid of the coffee smell from.. everything?
My mom mentioned there was a scent that combatted the smell, but couldn’t remember what it was.
I’ve tried googling it and all that comes up is “how to smell like coffee” and that is the exact opposite of what I want.
Any body washes or perfume recommendations?
Also please don’t comment “I don’t see this as a problem” I do. I don’t want to smell like old dirty coffee grounds anymore. There’s a difference between freshly brewed coffee and dirty coffee grounds that have sat in a compost bin with dirty water and other foul smelling things.

Ughh. I hate the coffee smell that lingers on me. I have certain clothing specifically for when I work (pants, shirts, bras, a jacket, etc.) for this reason. Generally just washing my clothes helps/ I always shower right when I get home. I think I read somewhere though that spraying clothes with cheap, high-proof vodka eliminates odors too

I have separate work clothes that I wash with baking soda... otherwise I haven't noticed smelling like coffee after a shower and changing in to my non work clothes.

Clothes: wash with baking soda and hot water cycle. After your shift, the smell will linger most in your underwear or bra for some reason so if you're just changing outfits go ahead and change the underthings too.
Skin: exfoliation( I scrub with sugar/coconut oil mixture after every shift}. Or scented lotion for a quick fix
hair: if you can't shower after your shift, try dry shampoo of spritzing your hair with your favourite scent (smells stick to your hair more than skin)
car: don't leave aprons or coffee beans in your car. Wrap anything with smells you don't want to linger up in plastic bag (just keep extra shopping bags stashed in your car.
tbh i can't think of anything else but i am very sensitive to smells too and can't stand dirty smelling things or even fresh coffee smells anymore, but just mention if there's something specific and i may have an answer for de-smelling it!

glad to help! one time for the holidays my aunt gave me a gift basket of bath gel and lotion....it was all coffee scented. I was so disgusted and explained to her that after my shift the last thing i want to smell like is coffee!
