In these colder months, fireplaces and woodstoves are used more frequently and with that comes plenty of wood ash! If you thought the ashes were just a waste product then think again because they actually have many practical uses in and around the home.
An odor repellent, a compost aid, removing stains from furniture…there are things that ash can do that you would never even dream of! A word of caution: make sure you take wood ash away from the woodstove or fireplace in a metal bucket. Never store it in plastic, at least not until the ash is absolutely cool.
