Incredible bathroom fragrance: how to make your home smell nice
An unpleasant smell in the bathroom can ruin the impression even of a designer renovation. Fortunately, you can get rid of it. If the bad smell does not cause problems with the cleanliness of the room, there are quite a few options on how to make the bathroom and toilet smell nice. The usual freshener is not one of them. It is short-lived and the scent is usually questionable.
Sante Plus has put together some better ways to do this. But before you take up scenting the air, check your bathroom, perhaps the problem can be solved by a simple cleaning. The atmosphere in this room can be ruined by:
- mold and mustiness due to high humidity;
- clogged drains;
- problems with ventilation.
How to get rid of an unpleasant smell if you have found its source
Ventilate the bathroom. Open the door after bathing to avoid steam stagnation. Use a dehumidifier and don't forget to turn on the hood. Wash all towels, mats and curtains on time and make sure they dry during use. Clean your plumbing regularly.
You can also deodorize your drains. If they are not clogged and do not require special cleaning agents, use baking soda. Pour a tablespoon of baking soda into each drain, let it sit for two minutes, and then pour in a cup of white vinegar. After 5 minutes, when the mixture has worked, rinse the drains with hot water. When all of these problems are eliminated, you can begin scenting the room.
Scent toilet paper rolls
A supply of toilet paper that you have at home can help freshen the atmosphere in the toilet. Simply moisten the sleeve with the baby oil or essential oil of your choice. The paper won't spoil, and the roll will be a source of pleasant fragrance. Just put it in an open place.
Buy a cistern lavatory product
Balls, cubes or other forms of toilet cistern products not only smell nice, but also help keep the toilet bowl clean. Simply place them inside the cistern and they will gradually dissolve and work for quite a long time.
Place a fragrant bouquet
Buying fresh flowers for the toilet several times a week is not necessary at all. You can decorate the room with a composition of dried flowers. For example, lavender, even when dried, spreads around itself a characteristic pleasant aroma. Also dried plants can be smeared with your favorite essential oil, if on their own they do not smell.
Use an essential oil diffuser or aroma lamp
The essential oil diffuser releases small drops of fragrance into the air, filling the room with a wonderful fragrance. The aroma lamp works by heating. Pour water in its bowl, add a few drops of oil and light a tea candle in the special compartment. The candle will heat the water, and the oil will gradually evaporate. But if you have pets, be careful - some oils can be toxic to them.
Light scented candles
Unlike scented sticks, candles do not spread unhealthy smoke around. Moreover, versions based on natural soy wax will be a safe choice for a small room, such as a toilet or bathtub.
Buy an aroma diffuser
A jar of oil with special absorbent sticks inserted in it will last longer than other products. Also, the fragrance that it spreads will not be too pungent. The choice of aroma diffusers is huge. You are sure to find something to your liking.
