A fragrant bathroom is inviting and pleasant to everyone who enters it. But how do you achieve that fresh scent that lasts for weeks without having to resort to expensive air fresheners or chemicals? In this article you will learn a simple and natural secret to keep your bathroom smelling for a week.
What you need:
A small bowl or container
baking powder
Essential oil of your choice (e.g. lavender, lemon, peppermint)
Steps for scent refreshment:
Prepare baking soda: Pour 1/2 cup of baking soda into the bowl or container. Baking soda is a natural odor killer and helps absorb unpleasant odors.
Add Essential Oil: Add a few drops of your favorite essential oil to the baking soda. The choice of oil depends on your personal taste. Lavender provides relaxation, lemon gives freshness, and peppermint can be invigorating.
Mix well: Gently stir the essential oil into the baking soda until well distributed. The baking soda absorbs the scent of the oil and gradually releases it.
Place the bowl in the bathroom: Place the bowl or container in your bathroom in a well-ventilated area. Ideally, you should place the bowl near the ventilation system or ventilation windows.
Renew the scent: After about a week, the scent will wear off. You can simply add a few more drops of essential oil to freshen the scent. The baking soda can be used for several weeks before it needs to be replaced.
Why does this work?
The baking soda helps absorb unpleasant odors while the essential oil spreads a pleasant scent. Together they create a natural and long-lasting scent refreshment in your bathroom, without harmful chemicals or artificial air fresheners.
