Cleaning and DIY expert @Neat.Caroline says there are eight easy ways to improve the scent of your bathroom.
SPREAD IT
Her first piece of advice was to keep a reed diffuser on the counter.
You can buy these diffusers in different scents – from vanilla to sage to sea salt – at varying prices.
Caroline claimed they last up to four months.
BENEFITS OF PLANTS
His second tip was to get an air-purifying plant.
“The snake factory is working very well,” she added.
Other plants that work well are English ivy, spider plants, and aloe vera.
OIL SUSPENSION
Caroline has also included a way to rid your bathroom wastebasket of any lingering odors.
“Soak a cotton ball in a few drops of your favorite essential oil, then place it in the bottom of your trash can,” she said.
TOWEL TIP
Be wary of how you store your wet towels, she added.
“Hang up your recently used towels instead of folding them to prevent mildew.”
The smell of mold can become overwhelming.
HAND SOAP
As for his next tip, all you have to do is buy a few scented soaps of your choice.
If you leave them on your counter, the smell will help fill the room.
AIR FLOW
A closed room doesn’t get much fresh air.
To prevent bad odors from building up, Caroline advised: “Optimize ventilation by keeping the door open or opening a window.”
MAT RESPONSIBILITIES
Although many of us ignore our bath mat for months, the cleaning expert said we should wash it regularly to prevent mildew odors from setting in.
“Wash on warm cycle,” she added.
ALCOHOL IN THE AIR
His last piece of advice was the most surprising of all.
“Deodorize the air with a simple spray of equal parts vodka and water.”
She called the combination her “go-to”.
