Tired of lingering odors in the bathroom? Hotels have a simple trick that keeps their spaces smelling fresh, and you can do it too!
1. DIY Toilet Bowl Freshener
Mix ½ cup baking soda, ¼ cup Castile soap, and ¼ cup vinegar. Add 10 drops of essential oil (like eucalyptus or lemon) for a fresh, antibacterial boost. Pour it into the toilet bowl and flush for instant freshness!
2. Keep It Clean
A fresh-smelling bathroom starts with regular cleaning. Even quick wipe-downs can make a big difference.
3. Take Out the Trash
Bathroom and kitchen odors often come from trash sitting too long. Empty bins regularly to prevent bad smells.
4. Prevent Musty Towels
Damp towels breed mildew. Hang them properly to dry and wash them in hot water with baking soda and vinegar if they start to smell.
5. Improve Airflow
Open a window or run the fan to keep air circulating. Good ventilation prevents odors from sticking around.
6. Natural Air Fresheners
Skip the chemical sprays! Try 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 releases their natural aroma and can even help with 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 scent.
9. DIY Air Spray
Mix water, alcohol, and essential oils in a spray bottle for a quick, chemical-free air freshener.
10. Choose Pleasant Hygiene Products
Use soaps, body washes, and hair products with scents you love—your bathroom will naturally smell amazing after each use!
A fresh-smelling home doesn’t have to be expensive or full of chemicals. With these easy tricks, you can keep your bathroom (and the rest of your house) smelling fantastic!
