Sick and tired of those stubborn bathroom odors? Hotels have a simple secret to keep their bathrooms smelling fresh, and now you can use it too!
1. DIY Toilet Bowl Freshener
Combine half a cup of baking soda, a quarter – cup of Castile soap, and a quarter – cup of vinegar. Then, add 10 drops of essential oil (such as eucalyptus or lemon) to give it a fresh, antibacterial kick. Pour the mixture into the toilet bowl and flush for an instant burst of freshness!
2. Keep It Clean
A fresh – smelling bathroom begins with regular cleaning. Even a quick wipe – down can make a huge difference.
3. Take Out the Trash
Bathroom and kitchen odors often stem from trash that’s been sitting around for too long. Empty the bins regularly to avoid those unpleasant smells.
4. Prevent Musty Towels
Damp towels are a breeding ground for mildew. Hang them properly to dry, and if they start to smell, wash them in hot water with baking soda and vinegar.
5. Improve Airflow
Open a window or turn on the fan to keep the air circulating. Good ventilation stops odors from lingering.
6. Natural Air Fresheners
Forget about those chemical sprays! Try using charcoal pouches, essential oil diffusers, or DIY scent sachets made from dried herbs and flowers.
7. Shower – Friendly Scents
Hang eucalyptus or other fragrant herbs in the shower. The steam will release their natural aroma and can even help relieve congestion.
8. Scent Your Toilet
Add a few drops of essential oil, fabric softener, or laundry detergent to the toilet tank for a continuous fresh smell.
9. DIY Air Spray
Mix water, alcohol, and essential oils in a spray bottle to create a quick, chemical – free air freshener.
10. Choose Pleasant Hygiene Products
Use soaps, body washes, and hair products with scents you adore. Your bathroom will naturally smell amazing after each use!
A home that smells fresh doesn’t have to cost a fortune or be filled with chemicals. With these easy tips, you can keep your bathroom (and the rest of your house) smelling wonderful!
