Bathrooms and kitchens often host a variety of smells, some pleasant and others less so. Tackling unpleasant odors and maintaining a fresh-smelling environment can be achieved with simple homemade solutions. For a DIY bathroom cleaner, combine ½ cup of baking soda, ¼ cup of Castile soap, and ¼ cup of vinegar. To enhance the fragrance, add 10 drops of essential oils like Eucalyptus, Rosemary, or citrus scents known for their antibacterial properties. Mix the ingredients with hot water, creating an effective and pleasant-smelling cleaner. Use a squeeze or spray bottle for easy application.

Regular cleaning is essential for a consistently fresh-smelling bathroom. Taking out the trash and addressing kitchen odors promptly contribute to a cleaner living space. Proper towel care is crucial to preventing mildew and unwanted smells. After use, hang towels spread out to allow airflow, preventing dampness. If mildew odors persist, rewash towels with hot water and consider adding a baking soda and vinegar mixture to the laundry.

Maintaining cleanliness and addressing odors promptly ensures a pleasant atmosphere in bathrooms and other living spaces.

Dried herbs, fruits, or flowers are versatile and can be used in various ways to enhance the aroma in a living space. In addition to scent pouches, they can be hung from the shower to release their fragrance into the steam during a shower. This not only provides a pleasant scent but can also serve as a homeopathic treatment for congestion, offering a dual benefit for a refreshing and health-promoting experience.
