Make use of air fresheners

Transform your bathroom into a spa-like oasis by crafting your natural air fresheners if you choose not to buy the supermarket ones. Mix a few drops of your favourite essential oils such as lavender, eucalyptus or citrus, with water in a spray bottle and you have a much cheaper option that even your toddler can make. A gentle spritz in the air or on linens provides a burst of freshness without the overpowering scent of commercial air fresheners.

Clean regularly

Establishing a regular cleaning routine is a key element in maintaining a fresh-smelling bathroom. Focus on areas prone to odours such as the toilet bowl, sink drain and bathroom surfaces. Use mild cleansers and consider eco-friendly options to minimise the use of harsh chemicals. Regular cleaning not only banishes odours but also contributes to a hygienic and inviting space.

Add some potpourri

Harness the power of natural scents by creating your simmering potpourri. In a small saucepan, combine water, citrus peels, some herbs and spices like cinnamon or cloves. Let the mixture simmer on low heat, allowing the delightful fragrance to waft through your bathroom. This DIY potpourri adds a touch of warmth and freshness to your space.

As effective as these ideas may be, the best and sure way to revitalise your bathroom lies in regular and thorough cleaning using the right products.
