Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1: Deep Clean the Bathroom
A clean bathroom is the foundation for a long-lasting fresh scent. Follow these steps:
- Wipe Down Surfaces: Use a mixture of equal parts white vinegar and water to clean countertops, mirrors, and sink areas.
- Scrub the Toilet: Pour ½ cup of baking soda into the toilet bowl, followed by 1 cup of vinegar. Let it fizz for 5 minutes before scrubbing and flushing.
- Mop the Floors: Add a few drops of essential oil to a bucket of warm water and mop to remove odors while adding a pleasant scent.
Step 2: Create a Natural Scent Diffuser
Here’s where the magic happens:
- Prepare the Toilet Paper Roll:
- Take your toilet paper roll and add a few drops of essential oil to the inner cardboard tube (not the paper itself).
- As the roll is used, the essential oil scent will disperse gently, keeping the bathroom smelling amazing.
- Reapply Weekly:
- Reapply a few drops of oil whenever the scent fades or when replacing the roll.
Step 3: Make an Odor-Absorbing Jar
For an added boost of freshness:
- Take a small open jar or bowl and fill it halfway with baking soda.
- Add 10–15 drops of your favorite essential oil and mix well.
- Place the jar in a discreet spot, such as behind the toilet or on a shelf. The baking soda absorbs bad odors, while the essential oils release a pleasant aroma.
Step 4: Use a DIY Air Freshener Spray
Create a natural air freshener to mist the bathroom as needed:
- Combine 1 cup of water, 1 tablespoon of baking soda, and 10–15 drops of essential oil in a spray bottle.
- Shake well and spray into the air or onto bathroom surfaces for an instant refresh.
